Review: The Sky-Liners

The Sky-Liners by Louis L'Amour
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Sackett boys weren't out to make a reputation; it just happened that way. They had crossed Black Fetchen and lived to tell about it.

Now Fetchen was coming for them with the most expensive hired guns in the country. But the Sacketts were no strangers to trouble. They knew what guns were and how to use them, and one thing was sure: when the showdown came, the Sacketts would be ready, and someone was going to die.

Review: A Game of Thrones

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.

As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must … and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty.

The old gods have no power in the south, Stark’s family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He claims the Iron Throne.

2017 Reading Challenge

2017 Reading Challenge

As 2017 winds down I feel the pressure to complete the 2017 Reading Challenge I have set for myself on GoodReads.com of 30 books. 4 more books to go as of right now. I will be able to make it.

30 books a year is just about right for me. It is enough to challenge me, and not to much that I can not do it. Ive been challenging myself since 2012.

Ive read a lot of good books in that time.

On average, I like western books the best, but this year my favorite book was The Amulet of Samarkand by: Jonathan Stroud.
You should check it out. I guess it is more of a teens type book, but I like those.



I read a few good Star Wars books this year as well. I really like the Star Was books by Jude Watson. I need to check out some of her other books.


Im currently reading A Game of Thrones by: George R.R. Martin 


look me up on GoodReads.com let me know what you like to read. Im always looking for good books.

Review: Lando

Lando by Louis L'Amour
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

For six long years Orlando Sackett survived the horrors of a brutal Mexican prison. He survived by using his skills as a boxer and by making three vows. The first was to exact revenge on the hired killers who framed him. The second was to return to his father. And the third was to find Gin Locklear. But the world has changed a lot since Lando left it. His father is missing. The woman he loves is married. And the killers want him dead. Hardened physically and emotionally, Lando must begin an epic journey to resolve his past, even if it costs him his life.
