My rating 3.5 out of 5 stars to E.J. Copperman‘s novel Edited Out: A Mysterious Detective Mystery, the second in Jeff Cohen’s (author’s real name) “Mysterious Detective Mystery” series of books. It was really a 3.4999999 and I had to unfortunately round down. Now that I’m reviewing more ARCs, I findContinue Reading
Passive: accepting or allowing what happens or what others do, without active response or resistance Passive is a tricky word. We’ve adopted it across so many aspects of our lives.

Explosive Eighteen by Janet Evanovich My rating: 3 of 5 stars After 18 books in this series, I can’t always give out a 4 just because I laugh so hard I nearly pee myself. Evanovich has to work harder and harder to keep the high mark stars… but in allContinue Reading

Yes, but no, as I don’t really see myself as foolish and eccentric, per the definition that first popped up onContinue Reading
