The Writer's LibraryThe Screwtape Letters by C.S. LewisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars This story is the definition of irony…. At first, I’ll admit, I struggled to understand the story’s aim. It’s not every day you get a story set from the devil’s advocate’s point of view. Screwtape is twisted to the core. I enjoyed the ironic […]
Beyond the Door by Philip K. DickMy rating: 4 of 5 stars And that’s why I will never buy a cuckoo clock….. or piss off a bird…. This was very brief, but I enjoyed it all the same. Basically, the story is of a man who purchases a gift for his wife and gloats about […]
Gravity Falls: Journal 3 by Alex Hirsch My rating: 4 of 5 stars I can’t believe I actually picked this up and read it cover-to-cover. I was expecting to enjoy it, but I didn’t expect there to be a solid, coherent, dark, beautifully-written story within these pages. I expected more of a how-to guide to […]
This blog is called “The Writer’s Library” for a reason. I write about books I love and post my own writing. But today I’d like to stray a little bit from the norm.In my review for Titanic by Filson Young, I posted a painting from my favorite artist’s soundtrack titled RMS Titanic as part of […]
Hold. Wait until my breath slows and my heartbeats catch up to yours. We are one, yet we are separate as the sky deepens to mauve around the edges and the stars converse with each other in the night. We stand together in a holy embrace, yet there is something more spiritual than religious about […]
I Will Find the Answer by Kate WorkmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars It feels weird not putting this book under Project: Sherlock. This may take some getting used to. So, to start off, I have to be honest. It’s not as good as Populaire was, and I honestly didn’t expect it to be. That’s […]
Sherlock Holmes: The Army of Dr. Moreau by Guy AdamsMy rating: 2 of 5 stars Sigh. Not a good book to end Project Sherlock on. You just can’t win them all. I half-expected this book to disappoint me. Over the course of this endeavor, I’ve come across books that really just flew off the edge […]
Sometimes I wish I could sip the stars. My breathing labored, I hold you in my arms. You gaze upon the stars in my eyes as the world tilts on its axis and we want to fly, for we are children of this starry night. I breathe in the scent of your overly long coat […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about this quote from my favorite book: “El-ahrairah, your people cannot rule the world, for I will not have it so.” In the story “The Blessing of El-ahrairah” from Richard Adams’ Watership Down, the rabbits’ god Frith says this to the leader of the rabbits, going on to say that […]
Rendezvous at the Populaire – A Novel of Sherlock Holmes by Kate WorkmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars “My dear friend, you cannot best me. You may kill me, but my spirit will not be taken down by a mere mortal. And that is precisely what you are.”Sometimes, even a machine like Sherlock Holmes may […]
