This was good. I wish I was able to write more about it but it seems impossible
My Never Ending List

I will tell you right up front that I don’t usually read Sci-fi. When I got this book for book club, I was eyeing the movie thinking that I might be better off with the movie but I took a chance and grabbed the book. I am so glad I took the book; this book was amazing! I loved this book! I still can...

Originally published at midureads.wordpress.com on August 4, 2018. I started reading this book at a weird time in my life. A loss that I’m still grieving and new changes make for bad companions. Those reasons could be why I enjoyed reading this book much more than I should have. You’ll see what I...

Przyznam się, że Ucieczka Cienia jest czymś zupełnie innym, niż się spodziewałem. Po tylu latach od wydania Cienia Olbrzyma oczekiwania miałem całkiem spore, szczególnie że bardzo lubię całą Sagę Cienia, i może dla wielu zabrzmi to jak bluźnierstwo, ale lubię tę sagę bardziej, niż oryginalną Sagę En...

So I finally got round to reading this. I think it's been around for a while (1985?) and some of the concepts aren't really the kind of thing you'd get for Young Adult. I found this incredible. Training a child from a very young age to fight against these aliens who wiped out billions of people from...

Well. Now I can finally say I've read it!
want a real life adventure? come to Australia we have spiders bigger than your hand.
Heads up - this review is all over the place, mainly I just wrote down whatever came to mind and didn't bother putting it into a more coherent order....A rather strange book, but I enjoyed listening to it for the most part. It was a nice distraction while I was cooking, catching the bus, doing chore...

Robert Silverberg has made an amazing anthology, in which everyone can find their cup of fantasy, so to speak. There were only a couple of stories I didn't like, but I suppose someone had. Those I did like a lot and will reread in the years to come are The Happiest Dead Boy in the World and Home...

Scott Card still puzzles me. Here, he’s beyond the power of editors. The writing is more dense, with more inner monologues and more pointless words. Nothing about it is terrible, but it does reek of an inexperienced author who can’t edit himself.Authors who can’t edit themselves will let their world...
