⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “We are not alone, and they are dangerous.” What do you get when you take the best of “Top Gun”, and blend it with an updated and cooler-techno “Star Wars” ? This action packed sci-fi epic - which has elements of just such a magical mixture - is sure…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stunning. Insightful. Unexpected. I couldn’t put this small book of poetry down - so moved was I by the kaleidoscope of words, each piece of work so uniquely brilliant (though a small few, I must confess, I found maddeningly impenetrable). Experimental in nature, the “poems” captured here cross the…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 An epic and life-changing journey, paused and then culminated, decades later, as our main protagonist, Dan, travels the road to Kathmandu, Nepal. Dan, an often strung-out hippie kid from England, seeking mystery, excitement, adventure, and most of all, freedom from his “cultural straightjacket”, completes a drive across Europe,…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Letters from Afganistan” is a YA book bursting with social consience, a Call to Action and most of all, a giant heart. Written as the first English story constructed by a native Italian speaking author, the book is intended to inspire, educate, and reach deep into the heart of…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “The Sequence” by Lucien Telford is absolutely brilliant in parts, (many parts), so much so that it’s hard to believe this is the work of first time author. The story line is multi-layered, fiendishly ingenious, and peppered with such cool tech gear, holograms, vehicles, implants and gadgets that I…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 Engrossing portrayal of early nineteenth century life in rural Newfoundland, - where fishing provides not only livelihood, income and sustenance, but also the salt cod used as barter to trade for all essentials not grown or produced on the island - goods delivered by merchant ships cross-crossing the…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s shocking to realize how little I knew about women’s fight to earn the vote, and the terrible toll it took on those first few (and incredibly brave) Suffragettes. The story told in this spell-binding release by Galia Gichon is historically accurate, which makes the emotional whallup it packs…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 “I don’t know what to do with the thoughts flying around my head so I stand up and spring my arms high. Perhaps, I can touch the sky. I have a little laugh because it’s a fun idea and the words high and sky make an excellent rhyme”.…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I remember reading Ray Bradbury as a kid and being totally captivated. That rush of immediate childish wonder - of starry nights and worlds out there to be discovered - and lurking in the sidelines, the terror of the unknown, the darkly magical, and just what could be out…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a hoot! “Dragon(e) Baby Gone” is a side-splitting, rollicking ride of urban fantasy mayhem - a glimpse into a world where illegal magic can at best be loosely controlled as “extra-planar” creatures, teeming with malevolence and greed, and aided by extraordinary powers, seep across the earthly planar divide…
