Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future by Ashlee Vance
I wish I’d read this book sooner! Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future by Ashlee Vance tells the ambitious life story of entrepreneur Elon Musk up until early 2015 when the book was published. Having worked at SpaceX, I knew Musk’s general accomplishments but many ...
Forever Free by Joe Haldeman
When I read The Forever War by Joe Haldeman, I wasn’t looking to start a series. However, I enjoyed it so much as a standalone read, I decided to go ahead and read the sequel, Forever Free! It helped that both books were available on Kindle Unlimited, so no extra ...
Rosewater by Tade Thompson
I picked Rosewater by Tade Thompson because I hadn’t read a good science fiction book for a while and this was on Goodread’s and Audible’s top sci-fi lists. I have mixed feelings about this book. It’s not a bad book. I just didn’t get sucked in and I don’t feel ...
The Paperboy by Pete Dexter

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
*Warning this book and article contain scenes of and discussions of sexual assault.* It was the summer of 2015 when I first read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. I remember it vividly because it was my first summer in LA and Kevin and I were staying ...
Eldest by Christopher Paolini: Continuing the Best Dragon Series
After finishing Eragon, I couldn’t wait to dive into Eldest, the second book in the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. [Too bad it took me much longer to dive in and finish this review, lol!] Eldest picks up right where Eragon leaves off in the aftermath of a major battle ...
Goosebumps: Phantom of the Auditorium by R.L. Stine
Why Goosebumps A friend got me Phantom of the Auditorium by R.L. Stine for my birthday because I used to really like Goosebumps when I was in middle school. I have read a lot, but not all of them, and I had not read this one before. It was really ...
