Gemini Cell by Myke Cole

May be an image of text that says '"Intense and explosive- -Cole tells hely." a hell of astory. -MARK LAWRENCE, international bestselling best author of Prince of Fools GEMINI CELL FOR THE DEAD, WAR NEVER ENDS MYKE COLE AUTHOR OF SHADOW OPS: BREACH ZONE'

This book is....military sci/fi fantasy thriller

Author: Myke Cole

Rating: 3.5/5 stars

Keep or Donate: Keep as a reference for if I want to write any Big Exciting Action Scenes in a novel someday. The jinn Ninip was the most interesting character by far. Another notable bit is that this book has the most unflattering description of my city that I've read thus far. So noir! I'm torn between excitement that we showed up in a thriller and concern about exactly what part of town the poor author found himself wandering through.

Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs

Back to the shelf stash. This book is....a guide to understanding marriage in terms of what the author describes as the greatest male and female needs. Author: Dr. Emerson Eggerich Keep or Donate: Donate ! This book is the first to fail the 50 page test. I found his premise reductionist at best and couldn't really get past the part when he said that a greeting card store was a representation of a woman's most deeply held values. I'll be a charitable reader and assume he had no idea how utterly condescending that was (along with talk of "pink sunglasses" and "blue sunglasses")...but this is not the book for me. Rating: 3/5. Charitably

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket

This books is....Book 2 in a famous series of morbidly humorous children's fiction that follows three bright orphans through various unfortunate events. Author: Lemony Snicket Rating: 5/5 Keep or Donate: Keep, obviously. If the first two books are any indication, the series deserve its reputation as well-written, witty, and wonderfully dark.

The Parade by David Eggers (A Not-Stash Book)

This book is...A Not-Stash library book. A parable on the unexpected difficulties and dangers of good intentions in postwar reconstruction. At times satiric, at times sober, at times surprising...the book builds to a final moment that jabs you like a sudden poke to the ribs. This is my favorite Eggers book so far and the one I would most readily read again. It might even end up on my shelf eventually. Author: David Eggers Rating: 5/5
