For many people, summer is a time of vacation and relaxation. For others, summer means scrambling to find activities for the children to do so they don’t start experimenting with fire and terrorizing their siblings. Novellas, poetry, and anthologies of short fiction can help fill the gap between “ah,...
So.. I’ve been reading. A Lot. And then National Poetry Writing Month happened, and then I started making jewelry pieces for the summer collection and having a clearance sale, and I sort of..forgot? to update the reviews. Whoops. Ahem. Fair Play (All’s Fair #2) by Josh Lanyon showed up in my...
The internet can be a very strange place. It can grant us knowledge, introduce us to previously unknown things, offer legal advice, and take us down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories so deep that Alice’s tumble looks like a joke. Thanks to the internet (and its memes), I...
It’s been awhile. I’ve been neglecting my reading in favor of anime, jewelry making, and fanfiction. I’ve had a bunch of titles sitting on my Kindle for a while, so I’ve decided to work my way through them Dear readers, have you ever been to Night Vale? No? Don’t worry;...
You know what happens when you live in the Midwest, and it hits 60°F on Christmas Day, then plummets to the teens, then goes back to the 30s, with rain, and then plummets again to a wind chill of -12°? If you’re like me, you get sick. You would...
Reading is a thing that happens. Sometimes life gets in the way of that thing, but that’s okay. Life is the reason I have reading apps on my phone, one of which is the Barnes and Noble NOOK. Just like in Kindle, some books are offered for free by...
Have I got a few books for you! A Cast of Stones (The Staff and the Sword #1) by Patrick W. Carr Errol Stone is the village drunk.
Well, summer is (unofficially) over here in the United states. School is back in session. With the nights growing colder, it’s the perfect time to curl up with a book. I’ve been going through my stockpile collection of free downloads and Humble Book Bundle purchases. in them, I have...
How’s that reading thing going for you? I’m still cleaning out books I downloaded for free, or purchased for $0.99, or simply received as an advance reader copy, or ARC. One such book was Faerie Blood by Angela Korra’ti. (For Amazon link, click HERE.) I was drawn to...
I’ve been slacking on my reading. I know, I know. Shame on me, right? In any case, here are the last 4 books I managed to finish reading in their entirety. Beginning with Blackbirds (Miriam Black #1) by Chuck Wendig I’m not sure what to say about this book.
Hey, there! To pick up where I left off last time, I’ll begin with my final thoughts on Libriomancer by Jim C. Hines: If Harry Dresden became a librarian and moved to Michigan, his name would be Issac Vainio. Vainio is a libriomancer, people with the power to manifest...
There is something engaging and exciting about reading about worlds other than this one. No matter how alien that other landscape appears at first contact, there is always something that feels like home. Speaking of home, I rad the most interesting yarn about a pair of magical twins by Nalo...
I’ve been behind on my planned reading…for reasons…but with this cold snap/polar vortex/thing known as “winter” going on here, I figured it would be an opportune time to catch up. First, I did, indeed, finish reading Where Are You Really From? by Tim Brannigan. Just a few pages in, and...
Sticks & Stones is the 2nd (second) book in the Cut & run series by Madeline Urban and Abigail Roux. Welcome back to Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett. 6 months after the events of “Cut & Run”, Ty and Zane, having failed their psych(iatric) eval(uation)s, are forced...
So… Remember how I was wading through this book? I didn’t make it. I SHOULD have liked this book. What was there not to like? People of color, magic, a goddess (or goddess-like Lady-leader-person). Non-binary gender characters, guys with names like Croaker, One-Eye, and Raven. Action, strange creatures, flying...
