This review is from: Life and Other Near-Death Experiences (Kindle Edition)

It was my last gasp Kindle First choice, since everything else was unbearable for me. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but for the most part I was pleasantly surprised.

The end dragged on a bit, and if you were looking for either a miracle or martyr you wouldn't have found it here.

The romance is very bland and inevitable, even though it was presented as being all fireworks, but none of those fireworks were reflected in the pages.

I was impressed by the presentation of the LGBT culture though.

Yeah, half of everyone in the book is gay, and that's a small part of the inciting incident that sets this whole train in motion. Libby is dying and her husband doesn't love her like she thought he did. She runs to Puerto Rico, falls in love with a very passive romp, and decides to live out her last days in bliss. Or at least she tries. There is no end though, like I said, and if you want a tidy or morose ending, you will be disappointed.

Every Book Holds a Little World Inside

When I'm in full on writing mode, I can crank out up to 10,000 words a day.That's not normal though. I try to set a goal of getting in 2,000 words a day, like the old Stephen King writing advice states. “I like to get ten pages a day, which amounts to 2,000 words." Stephen King Goodreads I got quite a few books written in a short time span last fall, then settled down into normal daily life. The intensity required to write a book like "My Sweet Infected" was unexpectedly devastating. I became my protagonist in so many ways as she crept into my psyche and took over for me as I channeled her every thought as I created the story of her awakening. Read the book if you want to know more about this ruined world with humans on the brink of extinction. Find the clues, sort through the chaos, and realize the end is inevitable. The little world inside this book is doomed. Check it out, get the free sample for your Kindle - On Amazon My Sweet Infected (My Inf...

Eternal Redemption - Review [#horror #fantasy]

Eternal Redemption by Paul A. Wunderlich My rating: 2 of 5 stars Rating this: under the little star at position 2nd from the left, there is a little balloon that pops up "It was OK" That's about it. In general, the tone and language seem like a fervent attempt to imitate high fantasy. There are a series of editing errors that cause some confusion. It's tough to write a protagonist who drifts in and out of their own head. Time slips around in circles. An entire world of minions is disposable. When you're sitting at the top of an Everest sized pile of skulls, what's the next big challenge? Oh, yeah, trick the master trickster. Well, you get exactly what you ask for. With a little syrup on the side. View all my reviews

Review: The 10 Biggest #Workout Mistakes

The 10 Biggest Workout Mistakes: Are one of these mistakes slowing your progress? by Dr. Len Lopez My rating: 3 of 5 stars So/So. Average. 3. yep. If you took a handful of bullet points, wrapped them in repetitive catch-phrases, and added in some links to your other projects, you'd have this book. Would it be at all helpful to anyone? Yes, if you are needing to do actual aerobic exercise and need to be smacked in the face with it over and over and over until it works finally - this might be the book that does that. If you're trying to get in shape or achieve some specific level of fitness, then no. View all my reviews
