Thus far 2018 has been a pretty good reading year for yours truly. I felt that my numbers were down last year and was disappointed with the number of novels I was able to pump out. Graphic novels, on the other hand, I read plenty of those. Hell, if it wasn’t for graphic novels I probably wouldn’t have met my Reading Challenge. This year though, … Continue reading Book Shelf- First Book Quit Of the Year
Geeklings, I am up against the clock. I’ve got about three days to read 150 pages. I know that doesn’t sound that stressful, or difficult, and it really isn’t but I’m up against the clock here. Granted, it’s completely a self-inflicted clock that has no real pressure outside of self-inflicted pressure, but it’s a clock none the less. If you recall in yesterdays super lame Week In Geek I mentioned … Continue reading Book Shelf- Reading Before The Movie Comes Out
If you’ve ever read one of Linda Meigel’s books before, and you really should, then you know that one of their underlining facts is that they dabble in the strange. Stories can run the gambit of time travel, preventing the future, government conspiracies, and astral projection threeways…yes, that’s something that has actually happened. Meigel’s books give us ordinary characters and throw them into situations that … Continue reading Book Shelf- The Love Trunk By Linda Meigel Book Review
Last night I came home from work, ate a delicious meal prepared by the Adorable Creature, sat in my chair, put Monday Night Raw on in the background, and decided to finish my book (More Than This by Patrick Ness which I highly recommend). When it was time for the main event I put Gandalf the Kindle down so I could focus on the match. I figured ten minutes of wrestling … Continue reading Discovering Magic
Geeklings, I want to talk to you about books. I’m sure you’re thinking that this is going to be the reading list for July and sadly that column probably isn’t happening until next week. I’m sorry. There are so many other things I want to discuss with you guys, and I’ve written two other columns today and don’t have the energy to take a deep … Continue reading Book Shelf: AFfC & ADwD Conundrum
February has not been a good reading month for me Geeklings. At all. As a matter of fact I’m struggling a little bit. Back when the month started I thought I had picked the perfect book for myself. You see, the problem I have is there are too many books on Gandalf the Kindle waiting to be read, and if I don’t have a book … Continue reading The I Am Geek Book Club
Geeklings, I’m having one of those moral dilemmas. It’s one of those moments where you have to hunker down and make a decision. Time is of the essence so to speak. Allow me to explain. I need to know if I should give up on the book I’m reading or not. Normally I hate doing that, I try to stick it out even if the … Continue reading When Is It Okay To Give Up On A Book?
Geeklings, you ever pick up a book and just get that feeling? That feeling that what you’re about to read is going to be all types of good? The beginning of any book is like the start of most relationships. There should be passion and something that grabs you (appropriately though. Don’t be getting all grabby without permission). Think of the start of a book … Continue reading Book Shelf: When You Know
Dear Station Eleven, I have fallen head over heels in love with you. I’m talking the type of love that if you were a person I would write your name in a note book and draw a heart around it. Yeah, that kind of love. But I feel that I must confess something before we go any further. Before I fell in love with you, … Continue reading Dear Station Eleven,
Yesterday, after I very excitedly hit submit on Maggie Carr’s first I Am Geek post, I sat in front of my keyboard and tried to write something. I had just the thing in mind too. I thought about it all day, tried to space out my areas of attack, and then I sat down in front of the keyboard and… nothing. I got half a paragraph … Continue reading Book Shelf: A Tale of Two Books
