Today’s monster Stacking the Shelves brought to you (and me) by the release of the 2017 Hugo Packet. For those wondering what that is, why that is, or both, here’s the quick recap. The Hugo Awards are nominated and voted upon by both the attending and supporting members of Worldcon (World Science Fiction Convention) for […]
An explosion of books this week. Every genre under the sun. A Fire Upon the Deep is the Tor Book Club giveaway this month. I was thrilled to get an eARC of Silver Silence. I had to start the Psy-Changeling series twice, because the first time it just didn’t take. But once it finally got […]
Not a big week here at the stack, but a couple of books I am really looking forward to. A Casualty of War by Charles Todd is the next book in his Bess Crawford series. This is one war I’m not sure I want to see end. And after years on hiatus, Margaret Maron is going […]
Lots of interesting things this week. The one I’m really looking forward to is Theron. It’s the latest in Anna Hackett’s terrific Hell Squad series. I love the dystopian setting, the badass heroes and heroines, and the way that the cast keeps working together for a brighter, post-alien-invasion future. I also love that I never […]
A blissfully quiet week on both the NetGalley and Edelweiss fronts. Not a lot appeared, not a lot came in. A chance to catch up. And two trips to Paris! If only through the pages of some good books. For Review: The Alexander Inheritance (Ring of Fire) by Eric Flint, Gorg Huff and Paula Goodlett […]
One of the books on this list was on my Most Anticipated list for this year. I always look for to a visit to Molena Point and the chance to catch up with Joe Grey and Dulcie (and their people). I can’t wait to find out if their kittens can TALK! I’m more than a […]
Out of the clear blue sky, I opened my email to discover that Tor Books was sending me an eARC of Assassin’s Price. It felt like my lucky day. Or a very welcome belated birthday present. I’ve been stalking Edelweiss waiting for that book to magically appear, and lo and behold, here it is. This […]
I don’t think I’d realized just how much I missed listening to audiobooks until I started up again. I love having someone read me a story! I don’t have a very long commute, but they are also excellent for making the tedious parts of my workout fly by, even if I’m merely plodding along. For […]
On March 23 and 24, Tor was giving away free ebook copies of Brandon Sanderson’s The Way of Kings. If I hadn’t loved Legion quite so much, I might not have been interested. But since I did, the deal seemed too good an opportunity to pass up. Bowing to the inevitable, I had preordered John […]
This was not a big week, and that’s a good thing. But there are books on here that I’ve either been waiting for, or squeed with glee because I didn’t know they existed. A Peace Divided was on my “Most Anticipated” list for this year, because I love Huff’s Valor/Confederation series, and I’m still completely […]
