Mini Reviews, Vol. 16 ~ Audio Edition
Trust Me, I’m Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator by Ryan Holiday DNF. I listened to maybe an hour and a half of Trust Me, I’m Lying. The first 60 minutes were interesting and a little sickening as Holiday describes how he (and others) create buzz, hype, and news stories out of virtually nothing. But …

It’s Monday, What Are You… (4/8/19)
…Reading? Readathon was very relaxed for me, so I didn’t get too far into my TBR. You know what? That’s okay. What am I reading this week? I don’t know if I’ll Be Gone in the Dark counts for Spring Into Horror, but, man, it should. Crime in the 70s and 80s was nuts. Also, …

Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon, Spring 2019

But I did finish The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Vol. 8: I’ve Been Waiting for a Squirrel Like You. Mid-Event Survey (Even though we’re past halfway…) What are you reading right now? I’m going to …

Down the TBR Hole #18
This is a meme started by Lia at Lost in a Story. The “rules” are: Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf. Order on ascending date added. Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course, if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last …

Spring Into Horror 2019
Spring Into Horror – All the Info! I need to finish my library books, but then I’m all about the horror: I’ll be participating in Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon on the 6th, and Clive Barker seems to be my go-to readathon guy. Plus, I’m starting my complete read-through of Edgar Allan Poe this month.

It’s Monday! What Are You… (3/25/19)
…Reading? I might finally be back on the reading wagon. I finished The Man From the Train over the weekend and should have a review of that tomorrow. This week, I’m starting on Tesla Man Out of Time by Magaret Cheney. Because I always need to read another Tesla biography. This one caught my eye by …

Viva Las Vegas!
Despite my affinity for the song*, few of the lyrics to “Viva Las Vegas” apply to my recent trip to Sin City. I gambled, not at all. Of the thousand pretty women, I only saw a few fairly attractive faux show girls working their “Pictures with a Show Girl” schtick on the Strip. The neon …
