Book 915: A Novel Death – Judi Culbertson

Geoff W

Book cover of "A Novel Death" with Amazon Affiliate linkThis was one big “MEH . . .” Some of it was the writing, a lot of it was the characters, and the nail in the coffin was the overall storyline.

I got a copy of this back in March 2013 and it has sat on my Kindle ever since, not for any particular reason, I just never got to it. I’m a little surprised I didn’t read it sooner since it’s a mystery/thriller about a book with bookstores and libraries involved and those, in general, are like catnip for me.

Book 811: Yes, Daddy – Jonathan Parks-Ramage

Geoff W

Book cover of "Yes, Daddy" with Amazon Affiliate linkThis is a dark ass book and a perfect example of what happens when I read too many MM Romances. I’m guessing I read the first part of the synopsis and either didn’t finish or blocked out the last portion when/after I requested a review copy.*

Don’t get me wrong, the fact that it’s dark definitely doesn’t take away from it being a good book, I just had no idea that it got dark and then even darker before starting to get a little lighter at the end. I did not like the protagonist, Jonah, and I do not think he redeemed himself by the end (and that is in no way victim blaming), he just wasn’t likeable.

Book 771: The Chrismukkah Crisis – Ryan Taylor and Joshua Harwood

Geoff W

Book cover of "The Chrismukkah Crisis" with Amazon Affiliate linkWell of course I’m going to like a book that starts off with a Wuthering Heights quote and throws in a Jane Austen reference later in the story. Add in the weird/awkward Star Wars reference (see last additional quote) and this book was basically written for me. Thankfully, it was well written, and I enjoyed the story and characters too!

For my 11th book in the 12 Books of MM Holiday Romance binge I decided to read (and have now—without any shock to anyone—surpassed as I’m typing this) The Chrismukkah Crisis. And this one holds the honor of being only the second one written by male authors (a married couple at that!).

September and October Recap 2016

Geoff W

2016-09-06-event-design-at-homeIt has been a LONG two months. I didn’t even realize I forgot my September recap until half way through October. So you get a half-assed double month recap 😀

I had my first major event in September at my new job and it went really well. We had over 230 people attend and it was an absolutely stunning location. Those posters in the photo were actually really cool backlights. They are printed on transparency type paper and then light put in behind them and they glow really nicely. I should’ve gotten a photo of them.
