Despite having read great books, it personally was a rough one for me and wouldn't want to look back on it again. However, those books reviewed on that year will be open for reward for this year. It's been a neutral year so far but that's it. As for the books, two are nearly finished. Look for both reviews this month. (Things are slow, but been busy with work.) kris@theseedsofbooks.com (Kris Caballero) Wed, 05 Feb 2014 11:38:05 PST Hope everyone has a safe Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I couldn't be more thankful for you folks visiting this website. It's been a rough month for me, having lost a beloved family member (I'm thankful for what he made me into). We're in the process of relocating to another place to start a new beginning (as I know my beloved hero and my friend wants me to keep going and live strong). I also landed a temporary part-time job as cashier in West Los Angeles, so things are super busy. Once everything is settled, more book reviews will be posted immediately. Again, thanks to all for staying with us. kris@theseedsofbooks.com (Kris Caballero) Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:35:27 PST I apologize greatly for the lack of updates. I've currently been hit with tragedy: a family member passed away on Tuesday, October 22nd, and enduring through this pain and depression couldn't be any more difficult. I've been spending time with family, relatives and friends for comfort and encouragement. Book reviews will continue, as one is currently in queue, however, I've been getting together with loved ones to mourn the loss of our beloved family member. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts, condolences and prayers. You don't know how much it means to all of us. kris@theseedsofbooks.com (Kris Caballero) Sun, 27 Oct 2013 08:53:24 PST Alright so yes, it's been a while.
