Jeff's Dribbles
A new writer whose plagiarism is only hampered by a lack of talent. Pro nouns but like a few verbs and conjunctions too. Oh!, I also have ME/CFS after my name.
Too ill for DMs or even holding chats via posts.

-
View full threadIf there’s a critique, it’s some dialogue edges toward exposition, and a few side characters could benefit from more development. Still, this is a smart, engaging read with plenty of heart and intrigue. A must-read for fans of character-driven cozy mysteries with secrets worth uncovering. 5 end
- Barbara is a standout protagonist: witty, observant, and grounded in her community. The supporting characters like the gruff Frank Abernathy and the loyal Delia add both emotional depth and comic relief. 3
- The writing style is crisp and atmospheric, filled with sensory details and warm humour that elevates the genre’s familiar beats. What’s most enjoyable is the emotional undercurrent, family estrangement, loyalty, and regret give the mystery weight without losing its cozy appeal. 4

- When the Sky Breaks by Septimus Brown review www.amazon.co.uk/When-Sky-Bre... This novel is an extraordinary debut that weaves together introspective sci-fi with coming-of-age depth. 1
-
View full threadAlso, supporting characters like Arial and Sammy feel under-explored compared to the leads. Still, this is a standout in speculative YA fiction; ambitious and thought-provoking. A must-read for fans of intelligent, rich sci-fi. 6 end
- Corvun’s narrative, slower-paced and atmospheric, acts as a philosophical counterpoint, with stunning oceanic settings and mystical intrigue. Brown’s writing style is lush and immersive, with a poetic description that brings both space station crawlways and salt-stained catamarans to life. 4
- The characters are complex, especially Marix, whose voice is raw, relatable, and real. The author could trim a few dreamlike or internal monologues to improve pacing, as some readers may find the exposition dense. 5
- Told in alternating threads, one following Marix, a defiant teen trapped on a lunar military station, the other chronicling Corvun, a fugitive sailing Earth’s fractured seas. The novel explores identity, power, and rebellion with literary elegance. 2
- The plot is both charged and grounded, balancing sweeping geopolitical tensions with personal stakes. Marix’s story is fascinating: his strained relationship with his authoritarian mother and his moral dilemma over helping a labelled “traitor” provide emotional resonance. 3
- Fore Ever Yours by Bella Greene review www.amazon.co.uk/Fore-Ever-Yo... This novel is a heartwarming, fake dating romance that sparkles with charm, humour, and sincerity. 1

- The plot, while rooted in a familiar trope, feels fresh thanks to Greene’s witty dialogue, well-paced progression, and engaging dual POV structure. Beth is relatable, ambitious, and full of heart, while Matthew’s muted intensity and reluctant vulnerability make him a swoon worthy match. 2
- Their banter is snappy, the romantic beats satisfying, and the community setting, complete with humorous Chai and Chatter gossip segments, adds depth and texture. The writing style is crisp and accessible, with emotional moments that land well. 3

- The plot is layered and contemporary, blending the intrigue of a murder mystery with timely themes like influencer culture, self-reinvention, and the pull of home. Hardy’s greatest strengths lie in her well-drawn characters and immersive setting. 2

-
View full threadDialogue flows naturally, and the alternating perspectives offer deep emotional insight without slowing the narrative. The book could benefit from trimming some of the introspective passages in the middle, to improve pacing. However, this minor flaw doesn’t detract from an enjoyable book. 6
- Fans of second-chance romance will find this story swoon-worthy and genuinely fun. 7 end #JeffsDribblesOnBooks #Reading #readingcommunity #readingrocks #words #bookcommunity #readerscommunity #ReadingCommunity #bookcommunity
