This review is from: Mad Tinker's Daughter (Mad Tinker Chronicles Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
First in a series, creative, interesting look at some interesting worlds. Minor confusion in a few spots, but that was probably just me not paying attention. Was good enough I got the 2nd book. Easy to sympathize with some characters, but not others, though your experience probably depends on your own choices in life. Good fun read.

I have toyed around with Steampunk books off and on over the last few years. It's difficult to hold on to the theme without going overboard into stereotype. The idea of two alternate phases to a same world with some people sharing a spirit between the worlds is interesting, and played out well in this book. It took a little while to locate the versions of each in the two worlds and figure out how they interact across the dimension or whatever. Interesting enough to get the 2nd book as a Prime selection of the month.

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...

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

Revenge Of The Cat Woman: A Short Story Set in Old Japan [#short #horror]

Revenge Of The Cat Woman: A Short Story Set in Old Japan by Yael Eylat-Tanaka My rating: 3 of 5 stars I'm not certain what happened here. It was pretty short, and not much happened aside from depressing cultural attitudes and events that were pretty much historically correct. No one here was particularly easy to empathize with. The "Cat Woman" was pretty passive. The Cat was pretty passive. The antagonist was stated to be aggressive. It ended in a "he got his" way, but it was still unsatisfying. The ghost was merely a suggestion, perhaps a shadow of guilt. It was free, took only a few minutes to read, and was probably worth both the money and time. View all my reviews
