Who in the World is Carmen Sandiego by Rebecca Tinker
You have no idea how excited I was when I heard that they were creating a Netflix series starring the most famous fictional art thief. In the 1990s, I was only about to learn geography by playing this game due to my ADHD. Right! So, I tend to focus and learn things a lot easier when I’m hands-on and turning it into a game. Even still, I got the privilege of reading this Audible Original that came out around the same time as the series.
Country Boys by Peter Styles
Cowboys is a bit cliche for me in the romance genre but it was recommended to me. Yeah, I still have a decent amount of research left to do so I’m still getting recommendations. This one is the most grounded and homey romance story I’ve ever read. You would think that would make it boring but you would be wrong.
Einstein’s Dream by Alan Lightman
Being a nerd can be a little difficult in my sales job which why I’m thankful for my boss. My boss is just as big of a nerd as I am. Nooo, he’s the bigger one because he was the one who put this book in front of me. We love about the various field of nerdism and he suggested that I give this book a read. His reason was pretty simple: “It’s sci-fi, Justin. Right up your alley.”
Wonder Woman Psychology by Travis Langley
I’m not an avid Woman Wonder reader. Actually, come to think about it, I’m not an avid comic reader as a whole. So, why am I reading this installment of Dr. Travis Langley’s Popular Culture Psychology series if I’ve never read any of her comics. Simple answer? I’m a feminist and she, along with her creator, William Moulton Marston, were some of the earliest inspiration for feminism so I was instantly drawn to it. So, let’s see what this Amazonian brought to the table for women.
Supernatural Psychology by Travis Langley
I was one of the many MANY people who watched the series premiere of Supernatural. Drawing on the theme of familial bonds and, more specifically, brotherly bond, this show displayed to the audience how far love and devotion can take someone in this fucked up world of theirs. And let’s not forget the most devoted but, honestly, dysfunctional pair of siblings you will ever see in a good spell. Now, on its fourteenth season, it was only a matter of time before my favorite pop psychologist does a deep dive into this popular show.
Escape Artist by Romeo Alexander
Romeo Alexander is quite the gifted romance writer. He has a certain flair in the genre that I respect and can really make some interesting characters. If you don’t believe me, read my review on The Lucky Charm here. However, this time around, he decided to take a more…theatrical storyline to the same setting. Trust me…it’s really good.
Creative Writing Career 2 by Justin Sloan
If you want to read the first book I enjoyed by this author, just clicked here.
Much like the previous one, I reviewed, and the first book of the series, Justin Sloan interview different writers from different series. It’s quite literally the same formula as the first book.
Character and Archetype by Deren Hansen
Characters are the most important part of a story. They are the things that drive the plot along. Nay, they are the ones who actually start the plot. So, as one would imagine, that’s why I, among many other authors, put so much work on the characters alone. And that’s why I took a special interest in this book.
Edgar Allen Poe’s tales
Three of my favorite tales of Edgar Allen Poe popped up on my YouTube feed and I just couldn’t help myself. I mean…I was forced to read them in high school. But, this time around, it was purely for fun. And that’s where I can get the most out of reading.
American Legends (Marlon Brando) by Charles River Editors
(Disclaimer: this will be a short review)
This came across this series through GoodRead as it was recommended to me. It was a good thing, too. Because Marlon Brando is a great actor and I was intrigued to learn about his story. Apparently, he had quite the history to his name.
