How's it going, everyone? It's been a bit since I did a review, and it's exciting to get back into it. Personally, I love a delicious root veggie, especially the potato. PO-TA-TO! You can serve them many different ways. You can eat them baked, boiled, or even fried. You can even enjoy them rectally. You heard me. Just ask Vic, the protagonist of today's review: Potato by Oscar Brady One day while at the grocery store Vic comes across a potato with a peculiar shape. Which gets

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. This month is Mental Health Awareness Month so I wanted to share my review of a wonderful book that does a fabulous job of describing what it's like to be in a dark place mentally. I want to cop out and just say I have no words, but that wouldn't do this book justice. If you've ever suffered from depression and think no one understands what it's like, you'll want to read this book. "Ya can't

Happy Saturday! I cannot even begin to contain my excitement with the three books and three authors featured today. All amazing. Truly. Enjoy! LOVELY FLESH by Michael Stone "...So we took a stand. We decided we needed to educate our students on what beauty really is. It isn’t what’s on the surface. It’s what’s within. Here at PRP, we teach them a deeper truth: beauty is a moment that resonates with the human spirit—authenticity, meaning, connection, and transformation.” Sigh.

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. This month is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Here are my thoughts on Vampire Weekend.
