eBook Review: How Not to Be a D*ck by Meghan Doherty
Verdict: 4 Stars The dubiously inappropriate title aside, How Not to Be a D*ick: An Everyday Etiquette Guide (censorship mine) is like Emily Post for normal people, people who don't go around presenting their calling cards to household butlers and waiting in the drawing room for their lady friends to descend the stairs. No, this book features actual daily life application … [Read more...] about eBook Review: How Not to Be a D*ck by Meghan Doherty
eBook Review: Four Summoner’s Tales by Armstrong, Golden, Liss, Maberry

eBook Review: Feral Youth by Polly Courtney
Verdict: 5 Stars Polly Courtney first made news on this site earlier this year for abandoning traditional publishing after her self-published titles gained some well-deserved attention from the industry; at the time, Courtney had some strong words for her feelings about the experience, including her embarrassment over her book titles and the way traditional publishing lumped … [Read more...] about eBook Review: Feral Youth by Polly Courtney
eBook Review: The Bleiberg Project by David Khara
Verdict: 5 Stars The Bleiberg Project is an immensely readable and captivating thriller whose action takes place over the course of only a few days. Nazi plots, Mossad agents, CIA covers being blown, and a few innocent bystanders getting lured into the chase all make this an intense read. And while other reviews of this title have been stellar, my interest in this book is … [Read more...] about eBook Review: The Bleiberg Project by David Khara
eBook Review: Earthquake, Fire and Epidemic
Verdict: 5 Stars In this look at one of the most devastating natural disasters in US history, digital publishing is responsible for a number of key factors. First, the timeliness of the book is important, as ebook-only publisher Untreed Reads released the title to coincide with the anniversary of the 1906 earthquake and resulting fire that destroyed San Francisco. But … [Read more...] about eBook Review: Earthquake, Fire and Epidemic
