Week in Review: Finishing up December

There were seven new reviews added this week. I caught up on reviewing all of the books that I read this month. I also transferred over one review from the old blog. I need to work on transfering over all of them. A lot of the reviews this week fall under science fiction or urban fantasy. There was also a lot of variety in the ratings this week. Overall, there were a lot of good books to check out.

Attacking Panic: The Power to be Calm
by russell A Hunter, Psy.D.

I tend to read psychology books for fun. From narrative to self help. Attacking Panic is a self help book for people with anxiety. It is worth checking out, but not for using as a sole resource.

Clockwork Angel
by. Cassandra Clare

​I posted the review of the second book last week. I decided that I had better transfer over the first book this week. It is truly a unique urban fantasy series. I need to put the third book on my TBR list soon.

At Least the Pink Elephants are Laughing at Us
by Chris Westlake

If you are looking for a new author to read then you should check out Westlake. I will be reviewing the rest of his books soon. He is an author from Wales and has been a surprisingly good find. His Kindle books are also very reasonably priced.

Paulie Zahn: Vampire Huntress
by EM Sorensen

If you are interested in a unique take on vampires then you may be interested in Paulie Zahn. That is about the one thing that this book does have going for it. I'd recommend you read the full review before deciding to read it (or not).

Time and Blood
by Sherry Rentschler

​Time and Blood is part of our giveaway over the 12 days of Christmas event. I was happy to review it as well. The writing style is unique, especially for an urban fantasy book. It is worth checking out. I have another of Rentschler's books on Kindle that I will be reading soon as well.

American War 
by Omar El Akkad

American War was a finalist for the Goodreads best science fiction novel of 2017. The book is chilling, but also amazing. Science Fiction has the ability to speak to our present situation, this book is a prime example of that.

Artemis
by Andy Weir

​Artemis was the winner for the best science fiction novel of 2017. Both Artemis and American War were amazing novels. I think the popularity of Weir helped in it being selected as the actual winner. Regardless, this book is absolutely worth checking out.
