Hey everyone! The Book of the Week is back! I’m in a funny mood, so I thought we could talk about a funny book today: The Lies of Locke Lamora! I’ll be very upfront about this: if you haven’t read this book yet, do it. Do it now. Some slight spoilers will follow the cut, including ruining what is possibly the greatest punch line in literature.

Book of the Week – July 16th 2015
StandardThe Book of the Week is back! This time, we’re going to talk a little bit about one of my favorite series, and specifically one of my favorite books: Dreams of Steel, Book Five of The Black Company by Glen Cook. By necessity, there will be some slight spoilers that follow, but nothing major in any way.

StandardIt’s that time again! Every Thursday, I will be talking about a book that, for one reason or another, stuck out to me in the past. I’ll do a little review and summary (no spoilers, of course), and give a rating and recommendation.
This week, the Book of the Week is Ender’s Shadow!

I read Steelheart, the first book, and enjoyed it on the whole but found some things to be a little frustrating; on the other hand, I very much enjoyed the characters of Megan and Prof, and their respective reveals.
Large spoilers for Steelheart and smaller for Firefight follow. Continue reading
