A Librarian's Blog: Review of Books, Games, Life and a Whole Lot of Nonsense
I have to be completely honest, I have failed to play a Paper Mario game until this year’s release on the Nintendo Switch. To be frank, I was pretty young and unemployed when the Nintendo 64 and GameCube versions came out…..even the Wii game (if I want to be honest, I was newly out of […]
Sometimes you have to pick up a book that has a wonderful cover and “The Monster of Elendhaven” had a wonderfully creepy and macabre cover that instantly drew me in. The city of Eldenhaven is being stalked by a thin, creature of a man that has no name, no heart and yearns to murder unsuspecting […]
I hate to start of reviews negatively, but this was a hard book to get through. The protagonist, Jesse Wheeler, is one of the most unlikely, unrelatable and down right “deserving of everything that happens to him” type of character. I was intrigued to read the book by its synopsis which contained the warning that […]
You would think that after reading “Gwendy’s Button Box” I would be a bit more understand that Stephen King has the ability to write stories outside of killer clowns and other horror-like scenarios but nope! I was thoroughly shocked by the subject content of “Elevation.” I have to say, however, that I mainly thought this […]
I was thoroughly surprised to see a follow up to “Gwendy’s Button Box”. It was a different type of story than what I am use to reading and a sequel came as a genuine welcome. Without King but with his blessing, author Richard Chizmar was given free reign in creating the second part of Gwendy’s […]
Yes I must admit, this game gave me massive gamer rage, but it also is one of the best indie games I have ever played. The music is amazingly composed, the characters are quirky and relatable and the game is hard in all the right ways; meaning, yes you will likely die a lot (if […]
This was one of the few books that I picked up blindly and figured it would be decent, since I do enjoy Stephen King, but I was also intrigued that it was written with another author, Richard Chizmar. I also know that you are NOT suppose to judge a book by its cover, but this […]
I am going to start off by saying after reading the book jacket and a small synopsis, I thought this was going to be a true ghost story, with jumps and descriptive visuals that would leave you jumping at the smallest sounds, BUT it was not. However, it was a decent ghost story that contained […]
As most, I was on pins and needless waiting for this game to finally have a confirmed release date. Still, as I held it in my hands, it was hard to believe it was real. I was anxious to fire up this game and go back to Midgar and venture on a journey filled with […]
I need to start this review off by saying I was very nervous for this story. I loved the synopsis and wanted this to feel somewhat like another “IT.” The beginning for me was very slow and I started to struggle just a bit, but I feel like that was just probably me feeling over […]
