The Reincarnation of Tom by Aden Simpson

The book is available to request till Oct 2020 I picked this book up because it looked different from some of the others that I was reading. It did prove that theory right. The book is about Tom. Tom is an average man, harbouring feelings for a colleague and with no guts to tell anyone.…

The Human Son by Adrian J. Walker

I read this book in two days, and it came at a very apt time in two ways. It was mother's day yesterday and also the current virus roaming the world. There are only mentions of a 'virus' in this dystopia(of sorts), but there are parallels many of our idle minds would most certainly draw.…

Biotope by Appollo / Art by Brüno

  In my continuing intention to read more graphic novels this year, I picked this up because it seemed to be a complete story in two parts, and I had access to both! This is a sci-fi setup where three detectives from the earth have been sent on a shuttle to another planet with an…

The Confessions of Jonathan Flite and the Release of Jonathan Flite by Matthew J. Beier

This is the oldest book on my NetGalley list, and I finally got around to reading it. The strange fact is not how long it took for me to get to this and read it thoroughly but that the deeper I got into the story. It went from a book I almost gave up on…

Subject A36: The Colony Series Book One by Teri Polen

The strongest foundation of a dystopian situation for me (I have come to realise) is if the plot based on current trends…

Take Us to a Better Place: Stories by Madeline Ashby, Hannah Lillith Assadi, Calvin Baker, Frank Bill, Yoon Ha Lee, Karen Lord, Mike McClelland, Achy Obejas, David A. Robertson, Martha Wells

This book is available for request till the 31st of May 2020 Usually, I am unable to give a breakup of individual reviews when I read books like this. Given that there are only ten stories and they vary very widely in the tone as well as the content I decided to try this one…

Battle Beyond the Dolestars by Chris McCrudden

  I read and reviewed the previous book of the series on the blog last year: I liked the previous one, as my review (the cover links back) would show. This is the kind of second in a series that cannot be appreciated if you have not read the first. It is imperative that you…

The Resurrectionist of Caligo by Wendy Trimboli; Alicia Zaloga

I have a habit of accumulating my reading until the point that I cannot see where it began and where it ends. Then, when I use random ideas to kick start my way through the list, I sometimes stumble upon some hidden surprises. I did not remember the synopsis by the time I started this…
