While I love reading some books that tell a complete story on their own, I am hoping that this one does end up having a sequel or two.

The Leaning Pile of Books is a feature where I talk about books I got over the last week – old or new, bought or received for review consideration.

Once again, I’m doing some more catching up with some shorter reviews/thoughts on a few books. Unfortunately, none of the books in this particular set are ones I liked very much, though you may want to look at some other reviews of them since I’ve seen positive reviews for them, even mainly positive reviews for some. It was going to be a slightly more positive post, but I ended up taking out the book by a new to me author […]
