A Tale of Two Screen (Protectors)

The screen protector that came factory installed on my phone got damaged and it started to bug me. So I thought I’d look into new options.

Bring Me Back by B.A. Paris My rating: 3 of 5 stars I wanted to get to this review closer to the time I finished the book, so my memory would be fresh. Sadly, I wasn’t inspired to write a fully fleshed out review. I enjoyed the book. I really did. It was cheesy, yes. […]

Review: The World Without Us

The World Without Us by Alan Weisman My rating: 4 of 5 stars Definitely enjoyed taking my mind through this great big what-if experiment. And I loved learning that America used to have giant ground sloths. A lot of the information on pollution was depressing, of course. View all my reviews
