Six-Gun Tarot is a First Rate Genre-Bender
R.S. Belcher’s The Six-Gun Tarot is a great novel hampered by a classic first novel problem—it is too ambitious and tries to do far too much. For a single novel checking in at under 400 pages, Belcher draws in elements … Continue reading
Tolkien 101: A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War by Joseph Loconte
Joseph Loconte’s book may not have the erudition of the work of a Tom Shippey or a John D. Rateliff, but A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War may be my favorite work on nonfiction on Tolkien. It is a … Continue reading
Of Librarians, Guardians, and Gatekeepers
Here at Every Day Should Be Tuesday I have a little tradition. Every Monday night I put my daughter to bed, pour myself a drink, think about finally writing my review of Brandon Sanderson’s Oathbringer, and then write something else … Continue reading
Tolkien 101: War in Middle Earth Computer Game
The work of J.R.R. Tolkien managed to produce one of my three favorite strategy games of all-time—1988’s War in Middle Earth (the other two are Fantasy Empires (1993) and Sword of the Samurai (1989)). I burned many, many hours playing … Continue reading
Why I Will Be Tagging Authors in my Reviews
A frequent admonition is circulated around Twitter: Don’t tag authors in Tweets linking to negative reviews. I have boosted the signal for that message myself, and on more than one occasion. But you know what? That’s bullshit. I’m through giving … Continue reading
Music Monday: The Last of My Kind by Jason Isbell

I know I could have gone with the better known song, Elephant. Believe me, I’ll get to it. But this is the one that gives me a pain down deep in my gut (like Tim…
Tolkien 101: The Fellowship: The Literary Lives of the Inklings by Philip and Carol Zaleski
At some point even a “101” look at Tolkien has to consider the other Inklings. I had read both the fiction and nonfiction of C.S. Lewis, but The Fellowship was the first book I read to really cover the other … Continue reading
Country Noir: The Girl From Blind River by Gale Massey

Finally, a book that weren’t published years ago! The Girl From Blind River just came out yesterday, but I got my grimy hands on a review copy. Jamie has got problems. She is stuck in…
Top Ten Tuesday: Best Books I’ve Read in 2018
I can’t say it has been a great reading year thus far. Sadly, I haven’t read that much. I have only finished 31 books so far this year. And, while few of those books have been bad or average, even … Continue reading
Music Monday: Shreveport by Turnpike Troubadours
Originally posted on Hillbilly Highways:
I’m going to avoid going heavy again this week. It occurs to me, given I use “Texas country” right in the blog name, that I have been neglected actual Texas country. What could be more…
