I love science fiction, but I’ve been branching out more into fantasy, mystery, and even some romance. It’s always fun to explore unfamiliar genres!

But transit doesn't make a profit and that's why we shouldn't fund it 🫠

James Duthie: Beauties (Paperback, 2021, HarperCollins Publishers)

Every story is a gem

Actually, every story is a beauty. I enjoyed every single story in this book. Every time I finished one, I’d think, “dang, I really wanna get back on the ice now!”

I absolutely loved every story. I can’t recommend this book highly enough to hockey fans.

Grayson Wyatt, New Word City Editors: American West (2018, New Word City)

Outside my wheelhouse but interesting

This was something I wouldn’t normally read, but I believe it was free (or $0.99) and thought I’d try something out of the ordinary.

I’m glad I did! It was a quick, fascinating read, though be aware that it doesn’t shy away from details about what happened to the animals during cattle drives.

There’s a lot of myth built up around the American cowboy, and this book does a decent job of exploring the reality of what cowboys were actually like, even if it doesn’t completely get away from romanticizing them.
