When in Gnome by Emily Night


What a magical trip Evie took me on in this book.  I loved it!  I kind of want to visit Gnome now!  the writing style in this book was great.  I felt like I was voting and rooting for Evie the whole time.  I felt invested in the book to see what Evie was going to find out next and how the story ended.  It was great!  * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*  5/5

#RileyAmosReviews #Wattpad story, gotta love experimenting! #SupportIndieAuthors! #FreeRead

So I’ve been going over my first book in the Breath of the Titans series, attempting to clean it up some more, and posting it to Wattpad since it was meant to be a free book in the first place. While I was there, I figured I’d see what kinds of stories other authors are creating on the platform. Came across an interesting zombie story, and I thought I’d share with you all.


Living On Borrowed Time by Michaels98


Living on Borrowed Time – This was a good zombie story. Interesting characters, a plethora of action, and overall an enjoyable read. 4/5

Justifiable Homicide by Gerald W. Darnell


I loved this book!  I love finding great mysteries to sink my teeth into.  This book had great pictures and not many books include them anymore and I was happy and surprised to see them.  Great touch.  The story was one that begged me to read all the way to the end. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*  5/5

Deliberate Acts of Random by Jon Nikrich


I liked this book.  The stories were entertaining and interesting.  I enjoyed them.  I wanted to see what else the book had to offer me and I was not disappointed.  The first story “The Introverted Dead” was a very different ghost story.  It made me want to read more and see if the other stories were just as magical.  * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*  5/5

Escape from Witchwood Hollow by Jordan Elizabeth


I enjoyed this book very much.  I could see it as a great movie.  Honoria is a great character.  Witchwood Hollow is a very creepy place but I love that too.  It was a quick short read for me but I was thrilled by how creeping the book was.  I can’t get enough!  * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*  5/5

Freedom of Expression: A Disclaimer

I think it speaks for itself.


Poetry


Though it might seem rather out of context, let me take the posting of this piece as an opportunity to wish all my fellow Indian bloggers in WordPress, a prosperous Republic Day!



I’m the supreme sovereign of my words,
the sole strategist, architect and CEO!
   



I am only what my words paint me as –
a traitor if my words speak of treason,
a heretic if they have heresies
but I know they have nothing but the truth
So I am, if you truly want to look,
more akin to Socrates, a gadfly!
   



You are my love, my sacred guest and beloved,
so come with a strand of rose if you must,
not with wrinkled scissors that belies your age
for these words are the beacons that I trust!
    



So in my realms you are regally registered,
until my art finds you guilty of a coup d’état!

Portrait of a Secret Agent who Knew Kim Philby by Tina Tamman


When I saw the name of this book, I thought 007.  lol  This book is nothing like that but it was interesting to read.  I don’t read many books about just one person, I wasn’t quite sure what I would think.  I was surprised how much I enjoyed it.  You see read it for yourself and decide.  * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*   4/5
