Starsight, Brandon Sanderson – Book Review
Hello Humans! It’s finally time to review one of my most anticipated releases of 2019 - Brandon Sanderson’s Starsight.

The Chosen, Taran Matharu – Book Review
Hello Humans! The end of the year is almost always a reading scramble for me (and many others). In my case, it's not a dash to finish my Goodreads challenge, but a desperate attempt to take advantage of the fact that fewer books are published in December - so I can try and get ahead...

The Kingdom, Jess Rothenburg – Book Review
Hello Humans! I’m always on the lookout for books that feature AI so I can recommend them to my spouse. When I saw The Kingdom pop up, promising not only an AI, but also this creepy futuristic ‘disneyland-esque’ setting I knew I was in for something special. I went in not knowing what to expect...

Collision, Victor Dixen – Book Review
Hello Humans! I'm thrilled to be reviewing book three in Victor Dixen's Phobos series, Collision is the follow on from Ascension and Distortion.

Eve of Eridu, Alanah Andrews – Book Review
Hello humans! I keep saying it, and it continues to be true, I've had to review a lot of review copies lately. I'm hoping to have the majority of them out of the way by the end of the year, and then next year I have plans for how I'm going to balance things so... Continue Reading →
Dark Mind Rising, Julia Keller
Hello Humans! Today I'm reviewing Dark Mind Rising, the sequel to The Dark Intercept - which I reviewed around this time last year. I was intrigued by the idea of a world where emotions could be so strictly monitored and regulated, as well as the relationship between old Earth and new Earth, but the book does tie off...

Otherearth, Jason Segel, Kirsten Miller – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today I'm adding another book to the 'VR' shelf that seems to be growing every few months or so, especially after the Ready Player One success. I've previously reviewed Lucky Ghost, We are Such Stuff, and the original book in today's series Otherworld. I have also reviewed Ready Player One but that was...not such a hit for me. I...
