| June 21, 2017

While I mostly review fiction, sometimes I get really interesting things that aren’t fiction, per se. In this case, I got a copy of the Chaosium coloring book, Call of Cthulhu.

Since I was out of town when my latest review on Nevermet Press went live, I didn’t post about it. But you can find my review of Ghosts By Gaslight there! I gave myself a short break from reading for reviews so that I could finish the Hunger Games series. I read Catching Fire and […]

The book is a whimsical and darling story, and I’m seriously considering sending copies to my nieces and nephews for their birthdays this year. It’s also […]
