Hey everyone! It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted. I am actively reading, but I've started on a couple of new endeavors that I wanted to let you know about. First of all, my first book has been published. It is available on Kindle and in paperback via Amazon. You can find it  here . It's a book of poetry, poems that were written over a period of about fifteen years. I will warn you that it's pretty dark at parts. It's mostly a glimpse at some of the darkest parts of my life. But there are some happy poems in there, too, so don't be put off by that. I've basically poured my heart and soul into this book, and I would appreciate it if you would give it a read (it's short; you'll breeze right through it), and then review on Amazon and Goodreads. Second of all, in case you haven't gotten the memo, I have a podcast now! It's called MBeckelhimer Book Reviews, and you can find it basically anywhere you listen to podcasts. It's...

Title: I'm Done Author: Gurpreet Kaur I have always had a bit of a soft spot for confessional poetry, and Gurpreet Kaur's I'm Done  is no exception. I breezed through the poetry in this book, ravenously consuming words of love, heartbreak, despair, determination, and resilience. Almost any person can relate to Kaur's work, and I'm truly pleased with how the writing has matured since the publication of Warriors.  The layout of this book is stellar, with the alternating black and white pages and the creative spacing to enhance the reading. Kaur also employs strong use of metaphor. My only real complaints are that some of the word choices are a little awkward and repetitive and that the book could use a good editor to help smooth out some of the rough spots. I am quite glad that I read this one and give it a strong four out of five stars. ------------------------------------------ READING PROGRESS Ammey McKeaf by Jane Shoup: 73% Insomnia by Stephen King...
