“So many books, so little time.” I could say that every week – and it would be applicable every time! But there are always a couple or three that I’m looking forward to just that teeniest bit more than the others. And that’s true this time around as well. Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match is […]

Another tall stack of books in this week’s STS, some of which look even more interesting than usual.  (Not that all books don’t inherently generate at least a tiny bit of interest!) I think the most interesting cover in this bunch probably goes to Legends & Lattes if only in the sense of “who woulda […]

This week’s ginormous stack has more than a few interesting books in it, but there are some I want to point out particularly. First, I’ve already read and reviewed Detroit Kiss and it was just terrific urban fantasy so I’m really glad I picked it up. Two of the titles on this list I think […]

There’s a question I get fairly often, because these stacks are ginormous, especially in the spring. There’s a reason for that. Actually there are two reasons for that. First, I have terrible tsundoku and always have. I like knowing that I have choices about what to read next, and next, and next, so I’ve always […]

And so ends the Blogo-Birthday Celebration Week for another year. I did not end up with jury duty this week, but we did have a monsoon on my birthday Tuesday. And I picked up some absolutely fabulous books! For Review: The Broken Room by Peter Clines A Brush with Love by Mazey Eddings The Change […]

There are a couple of books that I really want to highlight this time around. The first is Adamant Spirits, a charity anthology to benefit Ukraine. The cause is marvelous, the cover is gorgeous, and this is a great way to give a bit and get a collection of wonderful stories in return. Second, Anna […]

In amongst a LOT of fascinating looking books there’s one in here that I never expected to see. I enjoyed Amanda Bouchet’s Kingmaker Chronicles after a bit of a rocky start in A Promise of Fire, but it sure seemed like the series wrapped up to satisfying conclusion in Heart on Fire. So I was […]

This is what happens when you go away for a bit and come back to a whole bunch of available new books. Combined with what you come back to when you’re a member of the “Overachievers’ Book Club.” The good thing about being on a cruise is that internet access is at best slow and […]

Today is Galen’s and my 17th wedding anniversary. We were married on this day in 2005 in Anchorage Alaska. (And my mother said it wouldn’t last!) But seriously, it’s been wonderful, he’s the love of my life, and I am oh so grateful that the project we were working on together went so FUBAR that […]

Sometimes I pick books up for the author. Occasionally it’s for the cover. And every once in a while, it’s for the title. This particular stack has not just one or two but three titles that stuck so hard in my head that I had to get the book. Whenever I see the title Don’t […]
