Today's indie author review! Coming Out at Crofton Hall" by Rebecca Cohen:
"Cohen does a fantastic job. They all grow and change, and become very likable characters. Well written, serious and fun, full of banter and lots of romance. I'm ready for the next story."
Lucy Mason has a new FF fantasy mermaid romance out: The Endless Sea Between Us.
Five years ago, Faeryn Moss lost her family and home to a plague that swept her village. As the sole survivor, she was rumored to be a witch—a rumor she never denied because it was the truth...
"Full of secrets, lies, surprises, sex and rock and roll. I love the "Road to Rocktoberfest 2023" multi-author series. I would not miss one book (and I didn't) - and neither should you."
@bookstodon My #review of #Unruly by David Mitchell is now live! Pretty fun overview of the early history of the UK monarchy, but YMMV when it comes to the author's politics and humor.
Three Apples Fell from the Sky by Narine Abgaryan, translated by Lisa C. Hayden
Set in a remote Armenian mountain village, this is a story of trauma endured, the interdependence of human beings, and hope springing up in unexpected places.
Today's review! Rocking Karma by Kaje Harper, Road to Rocktoberfest 2023 multi author series:
"This is the story of the band Corvus Rising and two of their members, whose lives will be changed forever... A wonderful addition to the "Road to Rocktoberfest 2023" series. Five stars."
That was a good watch. Heartwarming. Reminded me of why I want to get out of the urban life and home; and migrate somewhere quiet, tuned with nature, and a small town. When will that ever happen?
Regardless, this is a good reminder and inspiration. While fiction and too perfect, I believe it does happen, we just have to get out there and find it.
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
THE LAST HAUNT is the perfect appetizer to start your Halloween feast. There are ghouls aplenty, but not the kind you may expect.ax Booth III PUSHES you into the world of Extreme Haunts- it's timely AND entertaining as hell. It's poisoned candy, but it sure tastes good on the way down. (Cemetery Gates Media)
"Dax is thirty-one. His past has not been easy, but he’s survived. Lane is twenty-two, and is very naïve. He’s also keeping secrets... absolutely rocked... Harper brings out all the warmth, caring, romance and love from her wonderful characters."
Do I rate this based on the present (2023) or when I first saw this in 1994? I guess the latter, so it will be fair, an 8 out of 10. Many are raising and giving bad reviews about this show, but I think it is unfair. This was an early 1990s movie. Movies people are rating today will be just as a “bad” as they described 30 years from now.
That out of the way. It was nostalgic, re-watching this 29 years later. I was reminded of how people think of time travel back then, with not so much a worry about the grandfather paradox, and more about ripples in time.
We've come a long way, not just in movie making, storytelling, but also in how we perceive time and time travel. Yet, the ideas from the 20th Century is as valid today as it was before, only better and more mind-boggling.
If they reboot this, either as a new movie or a TV series, I wonder how it will be reinterpreted. Or maybe, one just have to watch the Korean TV sci-fi “Sisyphus: The Myth” to have a glimpse of what it can be. ^_~
A young adult girl's journey in discovering that everything they need in life was already given, despite the loss she had when she was a young girl. From living in the past, from pain, to embracing it, so she can live in the present and face her future with happiness and fulfilment.
Reeling after a member of Israel’s Defense Force effectively labelled Greta Thunberg a terrorist. This reaction is why I think books like The Sword Catcher are problematic: we need nuance and realistic complications not “Israel as innocent victim”. #reviewhttps://www.darkmatterzine.com/sword-catcher/#Book#Bookstodon@bookstodon
