Book goals for 2017 (Plus a possible giveaway)

I had an idea to do a giveaway tied in with some kind of book reading goal. I got the idea from Goodreads, which lets you set a goal of how many books you want to read for the year. But there's no way to set up that kind of contest, not without relying on people's honesty, which is not the best way to have a contest. So I'll decide on another option; probably through Amazon as it's the easiest way. I also have to decide what the prize will be, so if you guys have any suggestions let me know! I just finished reading Pirate Hunters, the book about finding the pirate shipwreck in the Caribbean. Which gave me the idea of giving away an authentic piece of eight from a Caribbean shipwreck; however, I didn't realize they were quite so expensive.  Sorry guys, but I can't quite afford that prize!  Stay tuned for more giveaway info!

Angel of Death by Adrian Ferrer Review

   Angel of Death takes place in Rome and revolves around a series of crimes that have a religious connotation. It was originally written in a different language, so there are a few grammar issues, but not enough to detract from the book. The book has a strong religious background; fans of Dan Brown's books will probably enjoy this one. I'm not overly religious, so someone that is will probably get a little more out of it than I did. I still enjoyed it immensely; for some reason, the book had a strong eighties movie feel to me. Perhaps I've been watching Stranger Things too much lately. But anyways, the hypothesis that the author presents in Angel of Death is certainly an interesting one, and the author has done a ton of research to back it up. The plot is well written; it doesn't move terribly fast but it's not slow either. To me it adds to the atmosphere and authenticity of the book; most police cases are solved in weeks, not days. For an indie book, this is one o

Megacon Orlando 2017 pictures

   I went last year to Megacon; it was fun but I had no plans to go again.  But my sister found out Richard Dean Anderson would be there, so off we went.  We grew up watching Macgyver (we loved   Macgyver) and Stargate, so it was pretty cool to get to meet him in person.  Would I do it again?  Eh probably not, personally I think celebrities are worshipped a little too much in America. He did seem like a down to earth person though; unfortunately I couldn't say the same for most of the people waiting in line to meet him. One guy was dressed in the standard uniform from Stargate; alas he was behind me in line so I missed that interaction. Honestly I felt a little (ok a lot) odd standing in line just so I could get someone's signature. Had it been any other actor, I would've bowed out of that experience quite happily. (I can't stress enough how much we loved Macgyver.)  I did take a few photos, not as many as last year, but I thought I'd post them in case you guys were
