🤠✨Dystopian Trails and Defiant Hearts

review upright women wanted

I just finished Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey, and I’m still feeling the dust and grit from the trail. This book pulled me in with a unique narrative style that made me feel like I was riding right alongside these women. It’s not just a story you read—it’s one you live.

A Western with a Sci-Fi Twist

Set in a dystopian future, the story feels like a classic western: horses, desert landscapes, and a fight for survival. But every so often, the sci-fi elements sneak in like a quick jolt—reminding you that this world is not our past, but a possible future. The blending of genres kept me on my toes and made for an immersive experience.

Characters and Connection

The characters are what truly shine here. They’re complex, defiant, and deeply human. The story doesn’t bog you down with world-building details about the dystopian setting, and I didn’t mind that at all. The familiar oppression these women face speaks for itself. We don’t need a deep dive into the mechanics of this world because, sadly, parts of it echo our own.

A Mirror to Our Present

This book hits close to home. The fight for freedom, identity, and agency is not just a dystopian struggle—it’s a reflection of our past and present. Until everyone is free, the shadows of this world linger in our reality. It’s a powerful reminder wrapped in a gripping tale.

Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for a story that blends grit, heart, and a dash of dystopian sci-fi, this one’s for you. Saddle up and give it a read—you won’t regret it.

Happy reading! 🌟

SciFi Worth Reading: Shadowman BookReview

Book Review, Science Fiction Books, Space Opera / /

sci-fi worth reading

Shadowman is a gripping tale set in Tula, a seemingly perfect utopia devoid of war, hate, and passion. The shocking beginning introduces a shadowy assassin who disrupts this tranquil existence. Jonal Cassell is a passionate reformer on a relentless quest for truth and vengeance.

The exploration of a world stripped of conflict is fascinating. Proctor masterfully weaves suspense with thought-provoking themes. While I guessed the twist early on, the author expertly layered in additional surprises that made the story worthwhile. Cassell’s odyssey is not just about unraveling a mystery; it profoundly transforms his consciousness, revealing specters of a self that could have been yet was not.

With its vivid world-building and compelling character development, Shadowman is an exhilarating read that questions the very essence of a utopian society.

🤖🌿 The Wild Robot: Cozy, Thoughtful, and Wonderfully Wild

book review The Wild Robot

I finally picked up The Wild Robot by Peter Brown, and I’m so glad I did. On the surface, it’s a deceptively simple story—a robot named Roz finds herself stranded on a remote island and must adapt to survive. But beneath that simplicity lies a tale stuffed full of deep meaning, rich themes, and a surprising amount to reflect on.

Mastering Simplicity

Peter Brown has a way of crafting a story that feels almost effortless. The prose is clean, easy to read, and welcoming, yet it carries weight. It’s a style that feels cozy but is brimming with depth. The balance is flawless. You glide through the pages but find yourself pausing to think. What does it mean to be wild? To be different? To belong?

A Robot with Heart

I ❤️ Roz. She’s not just a machine; she’s a character you root for and care about. Watching her navigate this new, wild world—and connect with the animals—felt both heartwarming and profound. Her journey is one of survival, yes, but also one of discovery and connection. And there’s something so cozy about the relationships she builds on the island.

More to Explore

This is just the beginning. There are more books in the series, and I’m definitely planning to read them. I need to know what happens next to Roz—the wild robot with a big heart.

If you’re looking for a story that’s charming, cozy, and full of meaning, The Wild Robot delivers. Don’t let its simplicity fool you. There’s so much more beneath the surface.

Have you read The Wild Robot? Let me know your thoughts! And if you haven’t, consider this your sign to dive in. 🌿🤖

Happy reading! 📚✨

#Fantasy Worth Reading: For Santa’s Sake, Harlow #BookReview #cozymystery #BookLover

Book Review, Fantasy, Science Fiction Books / /

 

Looking for a fantastic mystery to put yourself in the holiday mood? I highly recommend this one!

Fantasy worth reading For Santa's Sake Harlow

This story was a true pleasure to read. It was filled with cozy, Hallmark moments with lots of feels, and I rooted for the main character to shed some of her crusty personality. Oh, and there’s murder!

The story centers around Harlow, a successful journalist at the Local Rag. One of the columnists is missing (Crystal who writes the psychic advice column) and winds up dead! Not only that, she haunts Harlow, nagging her to find her killer.

Crystal (the dead one) and Harlow are polar opposites, which results in a lot of fun and poignant moments.

I didn’t guess the killer, but I’m sometimes bad at these things. It doesn’t matter, the twists the investigation takes are fun. There’s lots of Christmas in the story, too.

I’m always willing to take whatever ride this author takes me on. I’ve enjoyed all of Gwen Gardner’s ghostly tales, and this is no exception. Keep writing, Gwen!

Here’s the blurb:
