REVIEW: YOUR FIRST 1000 COPIES
INTRODUCTION
I'm not a huge consumer of self-help books or professional development texts. It's not that I have any problem with improving upon myself, in fact, I'm all about growing in both a personal and professional sense. The reason that this type of writing fails to appeal to me is that they are so often filled with utterly useless and uninspired information that only people with minimal

REVIEW: NAPISM.INFO
INTRODUCTION
I normally enjoy very dark, serious fiction with lots of crazy characters and fast-paced plots. Every now and then, though, it is nice to take a break from that type of literature and just read something that's short and funny. Napism.Info promised to be one such book.

Since deciding to create this blog, I have found that there is currently no shortage of content for it. There are a bunch of reviews I have already done and need to be reformatted to fit my new review template, plus two brand new ones to do as well as more reading and more writing.
The books I need to put reviews up for are:
Napism.Info by Mik Hetu
Injustice: Gods Among Us Vol. 1 by Tom Taylor

REVIEW: BYPASS GEMINI (Big Sigma Book 1)
INTRODUCTION
I love science fiction and fantasy novels. I love wild adventures with crazy characters and high stakes. This sounds like a simple enough set of criteria to satisfy, yet stories in this genre can so often fall flat for me. It's not enough that I'm reading a story about aliens and spaceships, or knights and dragons, I need to CARE about the characters and world. Don't get me wrong,

REVIEW: KLUBBE THE TURKLE AND THE GOLDEN STAR CORACLE
INTRODUCTION
I’m the sort of reader that enjoys really gripping narratives that rip at my soul and make me think about life on a deeper level. As an avid fan of science fiction, fantasy, and every sub-genre under the sun, it’s probably fair to state that I enjoy a degree of escapism from the normal world. A good book for me has compellingly conflicted characters, a creatively contrived world,

REVIEW: THE STONEGATE SWORD
INTRODUCTION
It is not often that I can describe a full-length book in a single word. Throughout my entire adventure within the Stonegate Sword’s digital pages (I read it as an eBook), the one word that continually resounded in my brain was “charming.” This is simply one of the most enchanting tales that I have read in a very long time. It brings me back to books like FINGAL’S QUEST, RED HUGH

REVIEW: AN UNEXPECTED BONDING
INTRODUCTION
Vampires, werewolves, secret societies, classic boy meets girl romances, and some supernatural action sequences are the very foundation of what has come to be known as the Paranormal Romance genre. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea and the fact that there are so many authors who have tried to cash in on the success of a certain saga does not help with gaining it any credibility for

COVER: DIGITARUM'S Cover
Creating the cover for any production is a daunting task. It is the first thing that a potential buyer sees and it is what they will make their initial judgments on. EVERYONE judges a book by its cover - you have to when there are so many books on the market, all begging to be read. The book cover is what a reader is going to use to make their initial selection of what goes on their To Read list
