Books Read – 2023 Edition

It was a little bittersweet this year as some of my favorite book series seem to be winding down. With that I also read some old favorites again and tried to branch out a bit this year. I may be a goose, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make like a leaf and get out of here. I also got to read a pair of books from a college buddy that were just fantastic!

Books Read – 2022 Edition

Books come and go, but gooses last forever. At least that is what I hear the French say. I was honestly a little sad there were so many distractions in 2022 that kept me from reading more. My “Books to Read” list is ever growing and it would have been great to make a dent into it but alas it just wasn’t meant to be. Like they say, when kicked in the nuts you have to roll with the lemons.

Books 2019 Edition

I’m listing off the books I read this year because I feel like it. I’ve been rolling through the Emberverse this year and look forward to finishing it this year. Definitely the longest story series I’ve ever read. I’m not sure what I’ll read when I finish the Emberverse. I’ve thought about reading some books again that I haven’t read since high school, and then thought about finding some new books to move into. Time will tell. Winners Take All

Out of the Black Odyssey One

This is the fourth book in the series and seems like it is the last. This is sad and quizzical at the same time.                                     Out of the Black Odyssey One by Evan Currie continues the adventures of the Odyssey crew and their galactic war against a relentless army bred for destruction and their enigmatic controllers…..who we don’t hear from. This would be

It Happened on the Way to War

Amazon had this book on one of it’s daily deal sales and the blending of war and philanthropy sounded interesting. It Happened on the Way to War by Rye Barcot shares the story of the author growing up. He gains from mother a desire to help others through philanthropy at a young age. He gains the desire to help others through the military from his father. Rye joins the marines while in college and balances both with starting his own

Ground Zero

Amazon recommended this book to me. I didn’t think much as I read the description. But then I looked at the cover of Ground Zero: A Zombie Apocalypse by Nicholas Ryan and quote caught my eye:                       Hey! That D.J. Molles guy is the one that wrote that book I love. If he likes this guys book then I will give him my monies to read it to. D.J. was

Meta

Amazon seems to be hell bent on having me read every single teen sci-fi book out there. Meta by Tom Reynolds. Alien bands give humans extraordinary powers, and our teen protagonist gets the best bands of the lot, giving him a number of powers. This is surprisingly some of the best writing that I’ve come across. Superheros have been done to nausea so there’s no surprises with powers or situations. The faux batman is spot on and brilliant and works

47 Ronin

I read 47 Ronin by John Allyn as the smash hit movie about Tom Cruise running through Japan a white guy in Japan was about to hit theaters. The story of 47 Ronin has many variations that have arisen over the years so I figured the movie would be nothing like the book. I did end up watching the movie as well, and found it to be a wonderful pop corn action flick, but I did enjoy the book better.
