Sports!

A bit repetitive, sure, but such is sport, is it not? The emotional climaxes of the book come real late and all at once. The descriptions of the matches are fun, and the supporting characters are endearing. Great read!

Sweet book with wonderful characters

The writing is pretty great, the romance doesn't have a lot of time to shine but is passable nonetheless. The magic system is absolutely charming and so are the characters we meet in Nowhere house. I also appreciated that the main character is of Indian origin! The ending was a little rushed. 4.5?

Review of "It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work" on 'Goodreads'

The management at 37signals are horrible and this book is not written well. It's just a bunch of vague statements strung together with nothing

Thought Catalog, Elias Witherow: The Black Farm (Paperback, 2017, Thought Catalog Books, Thought & Expression Company)

Review of 'The Black Farm' on 'Goodreads'

The main character is really annoying, all the characters talk weird considering their circumstances, wouldn't recommend to anyone unless you want to cringe really hard. Not really horror.
