It's A Novel Idea: The Games Gods Play

The Games Gods Play - Abigail Owen
Entangled: Red Tower Books
592 Pages

I have to confess that I don’t read a lot of fantasy books. They’re not my thing. I’ve tried to start several books only to abandon them. That being said, there have been some notable exceptions. The Invisible Library series comes to mind as a great set of fantasy books. When I saw The Games Gods Play by Abigail Owen on the shelves at the Lockport Public Library, I was initially hesitant. Thankfully, the curiosity instilled by my high school Latin teacher for everything Greek and Roman won the inner battle. This book is going to be at least in the top five of the books I read in 2025. It was so amazing. 

Literally the Best Reviews: Glass Town

Glass Town -- Steven Savile

Once in awhile, I pick up a book that is very well hyped on the cover, and the synopsis seems to be a book that I would love. After I start reading it, I realize that the book is not only going to live up to the hype, it’s going to surpass it. Glass Town by Steven Savile definitely fits into that category. It was an astounding read right from the first page. Considering he has written for Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Stargate I was excited about what this offering could provide.
