Review

I can truly say that I have never read a book like Barbara Radnofsky and Ed Supkis's The Barber, the Astronaut, and the Golf Ball. I don't usually read non fiction, and when I do read it, it's definitely not about NASA. However, perhaps needless to say, I very much enjoyed this read! It was a great mix of peoples' accounts and the life (and lives) that surround people who are involved in the space program. Most specifically, this book deals with the story behind a friendship that blossomed between an astronaut and his barber. 

I took much delight in the detailed accounts and anecdotes that Radnofsky and Supkis included in their research. I am a sucker for details (fiction, nonfiction - it does not matter). From people's stories to research regarding items that are a part of NASA history - it truly gave me so much information that I never would have learned otherwise. This book was truly a product of the love these two authors have for its subject matter. You can feel it in each page. I believe a book like this is ideal for anyone who is (1) interested in space stories or (2) has never thought about space in an indepth sense, but has an affinity for detailed non fiction accounts. This work has a lot of heart and detail in it and is definitely worth a look!

Review

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading Nikhil Prabala's The Duchess of Kokora. It definitely sounded like a book I would enjoy, but it looked like it was going to fall more in the fantasy genre, which I'm not well acquainted with. Regardless, I picked it up, and I am so glad I did! What I found was a lovely book that was full of humor, detailed (but not overwhelming) aworld-building, and a story rich in culture. 

Phera is a gorgeous character - so intelligent and flawed. This is my favorite kind of character. Ones that are front and center, strong and determined, but full of heart and human. I found Phera to be a well-rounded character. She was definitely a MFC that I cound myself rooting for and enjoying. I'll be honest, I was a bit worried that a lesbian/sapphic character was being written by a man, but I found that Prabala did a fine job in creating a beautiful character.

All in all, this is a fantastic book to pick up if you are interested in young adult fantasy romance, and the tug and pull of court politics. I definitely enjoyed it!

REVIEW

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started James Wade's Hollow Out the Dark, so I was intrigued and held captive as I started this complex story where things are not black and white. There is a dark and compounded atmosphere to this story that I found to be unlike anything I read. This is due to the fact that it is completely different than anything I read, of course. However, even when I have read outside of my preferred genres, I still think Hollow Out the Dark takes the cake for being something a little more and different. 

The characters are well-rounded in that they have weight to them. They did not just spring up out of no where, no, these characters are as complicated as their tale and very much not black and white. There is a whole lot of gray in the characters and that's exactly what drew me in. I am a character-driver reader, and I need characters to be more than the cookie cutter variety. Even in my preferred genre, romance, where everything is forumlaic - I still need the characters to have layers. The characters in Hollow Out the Dark definitely have layers. 

Wade did a fantastic job in creating an atmosphere so "thick" that it was impossible not to imagine it around me. You could feel the oppressive weight of the heartbreak throughout the story and it made for quite an immersive read. I will say that the beginning was a bit slow-going for me - not sure if that was the story or if it is because this book is way out of my usual, but once I got past the beginning, I was able to fly through it.

Lethal Standoff by DiAnn Mills is unlike other books I read. First, readers of this blog know that I'm primarily a romance and horror reader. I dabble in mystery and thrillers. To begin with, Lethal Standoff is a Christian fiction contemporary suspense novel with romance. 

What drew me into the story is that our two main charactgers are a hostage negotiator and a journalist - both very intriguing backgrounds. Plus, the promise of romance always ALWAYS has me interested. And in this case, Lethal Standoff was a satisfying read even though I am not a reader of Christian fiction. I found both Carrington and Levi to be interesting characters with well-rounded backstories. The story itself was filled with many twists and side plots which kept me entertained and engaged. And on a personal note - being able to see/read both points of view from our main characters is a major plus in my opinion. It is definitely something I love in books that I take for granted when authors don't give us that insight. So, big plus there. 

I recommend this read to lovers of suspense and for those read with an open mind.
