Welcome!


Welcome!! My name is Paul Lappen. I am in my early 60s, single, and live in Connecticut USA. This blog will consist of book reviews, written by me, on a wide variety of subjects. I specialize, as much as possible, in small press and self-published books, to give them whatever tiny bit of publicity help that I can. Other than that, I am willing to review nearly any genre, except poetry, romance, elementary-school children's books and (really bloody) horror.

I have another 800 reviews at my archive blog: http://www.deadtreesreviewarchive.blogspot.com (please visit).

I post my reviews to:

booklore.co.uk
midwestbookreview.com
Amazon and B&N (of course)
Librarything.com
Goodreads.com
Books-a-million.com
Reviewcentre.com
Pinterest.com
and on Twitter

I am always looking for more places to post my reviews.

Forbidden Choices

 Forbidden Choices, Samantha Jenson, Independently Published, 2021

Do you remember those Choose Your Adventure books from when you were younger? Here is a new one, but, this one is not for children.

It's about a young woman named Lilith, raised by her aunt in a small village. Things like magic and elves are just stories. Depending on the path through the book, Lilith meets her mother, for the first time, in a very unexpected place. There is a rebellion going on, with humans, dwarves and orcs together, against elves. Lilith makes contact with the rebels. Because she is half-elf, she is not exactly welcome. The leaders of the rebellion cannot conclusively determine that she is an elf spy. They also can't conclusively determine that is she is not an elf spy, either. What do they do?

This book is very entertaining, and easy to read. It also has a lot of detailed sexual encounters. On several different levels, this book will very much keep the interest of the reader.
