Reviews of mostly Young Adult & Middle Grade books. A few classics and books on writing and publishing.

If you have a young adult or middle grade book (especially in fantasy or science fiction) that you’d like me to review, shoot me a note. I’ll give it a read, and if I like it or love it, I’ll review it here. (On my website, I only review stories that I’d give four or five stars on Goodreads or LibraryThing.)

Writing and writing-related art that's just little bits, mostly for fun and experimentation. Not all of it is by RLS Hoff.

Bits about parenting and life in the Hoff household (often, but not always, including stories about our adoption journey)
