The Remaking by Clay McLeod Chapman
I really wanted to like The Remaking. It had an interesting premise, and interesting material to draw from. Unfortunately, it just didn’t stick the landing.

Happy Sushi Belly
I don’t exactly know where the phrase ‘happy sushi belly’ came from, but after Friday night, that’s exactly what I had. Welcome to the Sunday Post!
Repetitive Sunday Post is Repetitive
This week’s Sunday Post feels a little sparse to me. Or maybe repetitive. I’m just surprised it’s Sunday again! I thought we just had one last week…
The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai
I imagine reading new romance novels from new-to-you authors is somewhat like computer dating. For me, Alisha Rai’s The Right Swipe was just that. A swipe to the right.
Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt
