Episode: 92 – [Review] Parable of the Sower

We got a big one this week, we are tackling none other than Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower. This book has been recommended to me a few times, directly and through book influencers. This book was not a light read, it took a lot from me to get through, but as I stand here on the other side of it; ready to share my review of it with you – I'm very glad that I did. So, let's get into Parable of the Sower. Type: Review | Book: Parable of the Sower | Writer: Octavia E. Butler's

Episode: 91 – [General] Are Book Sequels Going too Far?

The war of Sam Ögren against things everybody likes continues! This week I'm raving about book sequels, and why I so much prefer stand-alone books. However, I don't just sit there and complain. I also try to explain why I believe there are so many sequels, and why it makes perfect sense as well as why it's okay to like them. A solid, quick general episode. Gone is the era of filler episodes! Type: General | Book: N/A | Writer: N/A

Episode: 89 – [Review] Outback

This was not the best book for me. I don't love the genre, and I can't say much in this novel made me care. Writer Patricia Wolf does something pretty strange considering this is supposed to be a thriller. It's fine for what it is, but I have a lot of fun breaking this one down; I hope you have as much fun listening to it! Type: Review | Book: Outback | Writer: Patricia Wolf
