One of the books in that post I talked about the novel, “Your Driver Is…Continue Reading Book Review: Your Driver is Waiting by Priya Gunn
It’s finally here! I’ve waiting for this book since the first time I cracked open “The Hunger Games.” Haymitch has always been one of, if not my favorite character in the trilogy, and after all this time, he finally has a book exploring his past!

This was my first read of 2025 and followed my last read of 2024, “Recursion” also by Blake Crouch, which I absolutely loved. “Dark Matter” was as equally interesting as “Recursion,” though if I…Continue Reading Book Review: Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

Since then, I have finished the book and even started watching the 2017 television adaptation of the story, and I need to talk about it. This book was originally…Continue Reading Book Review (and sort of TV show review): The Handmaid’s Tale
