Where I Have Been

So it’s been quite some time since I have posted on the kobokonos, and I thought that I would explain as to where my head has been. Most of the books that I have posted about on this webpage were free preceding copies provided by publishers and Netgalley. I became frustrated with the webpage when all of my preapproved copies expired on my device whole I was out one day attempting to read a new story. So I left to read something that I had on my device that didn’t have and expiry date, which wasn’t the worst thing, but I started to go through the books that I found on my own. With a lack of a demand to have to post it looks like there wasn't much of a reason to do so. To be honest with you it looks like I miss writing about books. Looks like we are on the comeback tour.

So in short it looks like I am planning on coming back and post...

When I finished this series, I didn't have to tame time before choosing the next book to read. I'm not usually one to pick up a present day espionage book, let alone take on a trilogy. What really had me is that I kept seeing all of the trailers for the first movie. Once I ackowledged that it was going to be a movie I couldn't seem to get away from the book reviews. From there I was hooked, and I kmew that I had to read the books before they became films. I could have just waited and watched the movie when it came out, but the adaptations are never as good as the book is.
