It's A Blog, Mrs. Walker, It's A Blog...

I've had the headings and pictures set up since March 27th, so even with the date fixed it may have not shown up on your reading page for today, sorry!

Alright, folks. Here are my book reviews for the month of March. Apologies for any misspelled character's names, as this was all via audiobook so I haven't seen most of the names in print. Let's dive in.

Still working on Rubicon by not-Spiderman-Tom Holland. Perhaps I shall report back in April. :)

Alright, folks. I'm going to do some book reviews. It will be my honest, unfettered view of these books. Expect, though, that they will be mostly positive. I am not an English or Literature major, I don't do literary reviews as a profession, and I am ridiculously easy to please. That said, if you're looking for something a bit more critical from a technical/linguistic sense, or anything beyond, my reviews are not for you. This is simply me, giving my unrefined view, from the lens of someone wanting to be entertained. All of the books I've "read" in this review were listened to via audiobook, so I didn't really do the "work," but it's the best way I have time for books right now. Late nights after everyone else is in bed, often laying in bed myself. In the car, on the way to or from work or daycare or the high school (I have a toddler and a high-schooler, 12.5 years apart in age). At work via Airpods in my ears so I can hear better over the office noises. Let's dive in.
