Echo Burning Review

My Review of Echo Burning by Lee Child Click Play to listen or scroll down to read     Hello everyone, I just finished the novel Echo Burning by Lee Child. It’s part of his Jack Reacher thriller series. This is the first book I’ve finished for a reading challenge I started last week. The goal is to read 50 pages a day. If you’re interested you can follow the daily posts on my blog, link in the description. I’m sure I won’t reach my target everyday, but I aim to try. I’ll also be reviewing each book as I Read more…

The Third Gate Review

The Day – 9-9-20 This is going to sound repetitive, but I spent the morning puttering over at the rental, just doing little things to make it more appealing to a potential buyer. I also got my chimneys swept, so I’m already for cold weather. I made it to my writing desk about 1:00, but only managed 4 pages. I’m really close to the end of Book 6 and this slowdown always happens at the end of a novel, at least for me. I’m just sort of groping around for the ending, going back to add a scene or two Read more…

Irregular at the Magic High School Review

The Day – 8-29-20 Yesterday got off to a terrible start. I woke up with an awful cramp in my right calf.

Rogue Warfare Review

The Day – 8-26-20 Well yesterday was way less productive than I had hoped. My handyman came back in the morning to complete a couple small jobs that ended up taking three hours. Which is fine since I really needed both things done. One of the outside water faucets needed replacing and a board under the sink also needed replacing. That’s all done and I have nothing scheduled for a full week, thank goodness. After lunch I tried to watch a movie, but I’ll get into that in the review below. I can’t remember if I mentioned it, but I Read more…

Badlands Review

The Day – 8-22-20 It was good to get back to my usual schedule yesterday with no distractions. Next week is looking busy so I plan to enjoy the next couple days of calm. After doing some business stuff in the morning, I went to the post office, got nothing interesting, and came home. After lunch I watched the movie Badlands, review to follow. I made it to my writing desk around 2:00 and managed 6 pages, a really good result. I’m writing a particularly interesting section of the new book and the words are coming easily, which is nice.
