The Sandman, Vol. 5: A Game of You by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 1/2 Platypires for The Sandman Vol. 5 by Neil Gaiman.

Oh wow! Every time I think a line can not be crossed in a novel it gets crossed with Neil Gaiman. I had to put this graphic novel down a few times because I was just in shock. Gaiman sure knows how to push limits those limits and still weave a good story. Even though Morpheus wasn't much in this edition I still enjoyed it. The drawings were beautifully done and the writing was great.

I would recommend Sandman to any true horror fans.

The Fine Art of Pretending

by Rachel Harris

This was a very cute adorable read. We've all seen those movies where the romantic leads pretending to be dating but are in fact falling for each other. Well as a chick-flick fan this book hit the right spot. Yeah the story-line was a t...

The Martian

by Andy Weir

I don't know whether to give this book 4 or 5 stars. It was pretty damn good. My only complaint is that I got kinda lost in all of the space jargon. Seriously, I felt kinda dumb because everything sounded so smart that I'm just gonna as...

How to Talk to a Widower

by Jonathan Tropper

This year I'm planning on rereading some of my favorite books. I'm glad I started with one of my favorite authors. This book is still really good. This time I listen to the audio book instead of actually reading the book. My only complai...

The Story of Awkward

by R.K. Ryals

“Love isn’t roses. It’s those little square caramels and a root beer from the gas station because he knows that’s your favorite snack. It’s watching a musical with you without groaning. It’s handing you your glasses at night because he k...

Desolation Row

by Kay Kendall

I want to first start off that I got to meet the author at Houston author bash earlier this year. I was immediately drawn to the cover of this book. I just think it's a beautiful cover. This was the only physical book that I bought at t...

About ME!

I was born a long time ago in a hospital in Houston At least that's the story that was told to me. I can't recall these details so I can't say with 100% accuracy that its true.

Fast forward some years and I'm an adult women who has a passion for reading. Some might say its unhealthy. Those people suck and should burn in fiery pit. My passion for reading lead me into running the best book club in Houston. I also like to attend author signings. I don't consider that stalking if the author advertised the event. Now when I'm outside their window that might be another story but lets not get into semantics. .

I enjoy reading a lot of different genres from traditionally and indie published books. I don't go out of my way to check how a book was published. If the book captures my interest then that is good enough for me to read. Now that being said I will review books in the genres below:

Romance- contemporary, historical, and new adult, erotica
YA: Paranormal, dystopian, contemporary,
Adult fiction: women lit, historical fiction, comedy,
sci fi- apocalyptic, hard science fiction, and space opera.
Fantasy: contemporary, urban, dark, fairy tales,
Horror:
Vampire, werewolf, and zombies.

I won't read : religious, true crime or fiction crime, action dealing with spy, western, military.
