Dan Brown-lite

Dan Brown-lite

I just finished listening to The Third Secret by Steve Berry. Berry's novels are a lot like those of Dan Brown... action-packed, mystery novels with a historical bend. Very interesting, pretty well-researched and something that has me excited to see what the next turn will be. Amazon's synposis: Explosive in both its pace and its revelations, The Third Secret is a remarkable international thriller. Bestselling author Steve Berry tackles some of the most controversial ideas

Doctor Sleep... no more.

Doctor Sleep... no more.

Doctor Sleep, Stephen King's sequel to The Shining was released today. I had pre-ordered it like 2 months ago... so I'm pleased to say that it's currently awaiting me on Aldeux. An adult Danny Torrance is going to be creepy as fuck. CAN'T WAIT! #stephenking #doctorsleep #theshining

"There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches" -Ray Bradbury From September 22nd-28th, the American Library Association celebrates the freedom to read with Banned Books Week. The silencing of divergent ideas has long been an illness of society. An ignorant body is a peaceful body... or so politicians and leaders throughout history have been led to believe. With that striving for ignorance has come the criminaliz
Remember when The DaVinci Code was a thing?

Remember when The DaVinci Code was a thing?

I am a big fan of Dan Brown. I was once informed that Dan Brown was "crap literature", but I really don't care. Especially because the person saying this doesn't actually read all that much himself.

Recently my friend lent me Inferno by Dan Brown (on audiobook). I had bee
A smart buy!

A smart buy!

How awesome is this chair? The old lady who sold us our house had it for sale and you KNOW I had to snatch it up. It's just so perfectly corny and kitschy and... book-y! #fun

Making E.L. James proud

Making E.L. James proud

"It was a dark and stormy night" - Edward George Bulwer-Lytton That cliché of the literary world has sparked an annual contest for the most hilarious, soul-deadening first sentences known as The Bulwer-Lytton Prize. Writers submit Razzie-worthy sentences that would make Baby Jesus weep for his mama. And the results are hilarious. Some of my favorites: For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity’s affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss
