Classic Vertical Scrolling Shooter
Aero Fighters is the best vertical scrolling shooter on SNES. It is a port of the arcade game of the same name (although it's called Sonic Wings outside of North America). It's just too bad that not very many of the North American cartridges were produced, because now they sell upwards of $300. *Sighs* Someday, Aero Fighters, someday... If you're into playing classics through emulators though, this is the first SNES game I recommend that isn't a Nintendo property.

This book....this book is just fantastically written. I had no idea what it was about or hadn't heard anything about it before I picked it up because of the cover. Am I so glad that I did.
Enemies to lovers, mythology, and bloody battles are just some of the amazing things you will find in these pages. The best part? It doesn't leave you with a gigantic cliffhanger. Basically if you enjoy anything I listed above. ^^^ you will love this book. The writing and flow mash with a plot that is so wonderfully written you won't feel bored.
One of the best 2018 books I have read. Highly recommend!

After 11 years stuck on Earth, John Carter is thrilled to find himself back on Mars. But he will have to fight hostile aliens and superstition to get back to his beloved wife.

I enjoyed this for what it was - an action novel. The characters are rather thin, although I certainly found myself caring for the main characters. And John's amazing ability to fight off waves of enemies gets a little tiring. But it's still a fun book. Watch out for the cliffhanger.

I received a copy of The Grace Year from Wednesday Books through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

It's a cute pink cover, isn't? This story is not cute or pink. It's a brutal story of misogyny and control.

Tierney is a dreamer who is not allowed to dream. Her existence is destined to be an evil siren who lures men to their Doom.

Fighting back is not an option. Until it is.

It's a story about survival and how your worst enemies can be the ones who should be on your side and your allies can be who you least expect.
..
Absolutely brilliant.
