I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy, but because I plow through it so fast I often forget exactly what I liked (or disliked) about specific books. Plus when the inevitable sequels come out, I have to reread the first books because I always have forgotten everything but the major plot points.
This blog thus exists for two reasons:
- To share my opinions on the many books that I read
- As a place to store complete plot summaries so I can remember what happened if I want to read a sequel without needing to re-read the whole series
Hopefully you will find it useful, as well! Please note that all plot summaries are for everything from beginning to when I put the book down (I finish most, but not all, of the books I write about here). If you choose to read the summary you will spoil the entire book. I recommend avoiding temptation until you pick up the sequel and need to remember just what it was that happened in book one.
Although I do tend to write humorous plot summaries for the books that I dislike, so you can probably read those with impunity if you are curious about what happens but don’t plan on reading the book itself.
What I read
I read whatever catches my eye. These days that means almost exclusively ebooks, with a fair smattering of self-published works on Kindle. Since I don’t like paying more than $10 (and I dislike paying close to $10), I don’t read many of the “best seller” type novels. I tend to stick pretty tightly to fantasy with occasional excursions into science fiction, and like reading children’s or YA books just as well as adult ones.
