Book of the Month: Chronicles of One trilogy by Nora Roberts

There is nothing like reading a novel about the end of the world during a global pandemic.  Nora Roberts has penned the Chronicles of One trilogy that starts with a virus that wipes out most of the population leaving the survivors to come to terms with a new world that now includes magical beings, crazy religious zealots called purity warriors, violent crazy gangs called … [Read more...] about Book of the Month: Chronicles of One trilogy by Nora Roberts

Guilty Pleasures August 11, 2020

With the craziness of life in a pandemic, I have more time to evaluate the things that are important such as family, friends and lately the ability to embrace my guilty pleasures of which I have many.  I no longer hide behind the facade that I only watch high-brow entertainment as the news these days just makes my stomach churn.  If I’m going to watch violence, mayhem … [Read more...] about Guilty Pleasures August 11, 2020

Book Review: A Is for Alibi

August 3, 2020 By Tony Leggio

I love a good murder mystery filled with lots of suspects, red herrings, and satisfying twists. Sue Grafton, who passed away in 2017, is famously known for her novels whose titles each start with a letter of the alphabet.  Since the COVID pandemic started, I’ve been checking out new authors and have always wanted to read one of Grafton’s novels.  Figuring the best place to … [Read more...] about Book Review: A Is for Alibi

Pandemics, quarantine, massive unemployment, riots, rampant racism, political divides, murder hornets, cancel culture, Saharan duststorms and f**cking Carole Baskin are just a few of the highlights of 2020 and the hits keep a-coming.  Sometimes it’s just too much and you want to lock yourself in your house and hide.  I have to admit, it is getting hard for a positive … [Read more...] about 2020: The Year of Living Dangerously

Book Review: Compulsive Haiku

July 21, 2020 By Tony Leggio

In my long list of reviews, I do not believe I have done one on a book of haikus.  There is a first for everything and my book of the month is called Compulsive Haiku by Rocco Talarico.  A haiku is a specific type of Japanese poem which has 17 syllables divided into three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Haikus are typically written on the subject of nature and is … [Read more...] about Book Review: Compulsive Haiku
