[Review] — BECOMING THE BOOGEYMAN: A Compelling Yet Unnecessary Companion Sequel!


I’m back! Well, sort of—I am attempting to reignite my habit of writing reviews for this blog. Admittedly, I've been a bit of a recluse lately, but everything is all right—at least as good as it can be under the circumstances. For those who remember, last year I reviewed Richard Chizmar's gripping fictional true-crime thriller, Chasing the Boogeyman. I found it thoroughly engaging and ended up giving it a five-out-of-five-star rating. Since then, I dove into its sequel, BECOMING THE BOOGEYMAN, and I'd like to share my thoughts on it.

In theaters from only January 26th to 28th is the drama BETWEEN BORDERS starring Elizabeth Tabish (The Chosen) and Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost and the Santa Claus franchise). 

In a crumbling Soviet Union, the Petrosyan family are outcasts wherever they go. Their Armenian heritage marks them for discrimination both at home in Azerbaijan and in Russia. Based on a riveting true story of faith and hope set amidst great oppression … in the shadow of exile, hope became their home.

{Sunday Post} — There's Something About Secondhand Books


What Am I Reading? 


My cold is finally gone, but my reading mojo hasn't returned yet. I had to put aside Forty Time A Killer! and speed-read another book for an upcoming book tour; I have now returned to the Western and hope to finish it in the next day or two before moving on to my long-delayed read of Defense Protocol.
