I'm not exactly sure this qualifies as a meet-cute, but it is a beautiful story. Also a little weird that my first romance read is set in the Holocaust...

Batman: Resurrection
Do you miss the days when the Batman movies were kinda campy but not overly campy. When they were dark but not overly dark? Do you wish you could dive back into the Michael Keaton days as Batman - between Batman and Batman Returns? Do you wish there was more…

The Shining (The Shining #1)
After finishing Pet Sematary recently, I really wanted a chance to re-read The Shining. It's spooky season after all! I have to say, having a few other Stephen King books under my belt really added to my enjoyment of this one.

The Nanotech War (Star Trek: Voyager)
In the world of Star Trek books, this is not one you hear talked about a lot. But I'm here to tell you that that is a mistake. People should be reading this book and talking about it.

Pet Sematary
This story was not what I thought it was going to be. I haven't seen any of the adaptations of it so I just assumed you bury your pet and it comes back to life. It is and it isn't. And more toward isn't. Also, I feel dumb that I…

Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto
I'm sure for a lot people, they don't have that "I remember where I was when we saw the first images of Pluto." But I do. I was at work, watching a live NASA feed as they released the first high resolution images of that most distant planet, er, dwarf…

Catalyst of Sorrows (Star Trek: The Lost Era, 2360)
A low-key sequel to Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and told in a series of flashback starring Admiral Uhura, Lieutenant Benjamin Sisko, Lieutenant Tuvok, and Dr. Selar. You had me at "a low-key sequel to Star Trek VI."

The Asteroid Hunter: A Scientist’s Journey to the Dawn of our Solar System
Another pick for the Planetary Society book club. And what an amazing pick this was! Who knew that a journey to a lifeless rock somewhere between Mars and Jupiter would be interesting?! This author understood the assignment!

Lonesome Dove (Lonesome Dove #1)
Dern. This here is a tragedy. An epic tragedy, I reckon. Come to think of it, I don't think anyone said "reckon" in this 858 page tome. Oh, and this may be an unpopular opinion, but I really, really did not like the character of Lorena...
