Buried Alive
Image by Headfone Hope everyone is having a happy holiday. While I’m still in the dark about the release of Buried Alive we can keep this going until the West Coast Milblogger returns next year. This writing has the potential to help reignite the Hemp Revolution only there are external forces too powerful for me to avoid. However, we have secured ourselves on the right side of history. If nuclear war breaks out it’s because the Hemp Revolution was suppressed by the powers that be.

New York's Timeless Tales
Few cities have the dynamic personality and narrative power of New York City. Its vibrant society, streets, history, and energy are more than just a setting or backdrop. A long-time muse for storytellers, New York City is a character in its own right. This was particularly evident in two books that I read this year: the contemporary novel Mrs. by Caitlin Macy and the historical narrative The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray. In both stories, the city isn't just a backdrop but a vital, living part of the story. Both offer a window into the high society of New York but from different eras and perspectives.

Opening the Illegal Book: Lovecraft's Necronomicon
In the shadowy domain of speculative fiction, hardly any names convey as much weight as H.P. Lovecraft. His stories of enormous repulsiveness and the unbelievable obscure have woven themselves into the texture of present-day ghastly writing. Among his numerous commitments, one stands out as both an impetus and a mystery—the Necronomicon. This made-up grimoire, a book of dim customs, sorcery, and peculiar sciences, has risen above Lovecraft's accounts, starting a conviction that it might have once existed. As we dig into the dim profundities of the Necronomicon's set of experiences, an embroidery of secrets, shared universes, and true interest unfurls.

Early Agatha Christie Explored
One of my reading goals is to read my way through the collection of various favorite authors I have. My parents were both huge fans of Agatha Christie, and they were the ones who introduced me to her murder mysteries when I was a teenager. I was excited to return to the beginning with her debut novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles.

This year, I dove into a few graphic novels - I wanted to mix things up since I have been reading an average of over 60 books a year. I thought it would be nice to expand my literary horizons and slip back to a genre that I was comfortable with from the beginning.

Tales and Targets
This year started out rough for me, with my father’s death on January 2nd. I had to drive down to Connecticut to join my siblings for the service, so I knew I would be in the car for about 8 to 9 hours. When I know I have to drive a long way, I usually look to one of the books in my audiobook library to entertain on those so long miles.
