I was ecstatic when Treachery’s Tools popped up on Edelweiss this week. the Imager Portfolio is one of my absolute favorite fantasy series, and I can’t resist a new book in it. So much so that when my Friday book just failed, I started Treachery’s Tools that night. In spite of not being able to […]
I’m trying to only pick up stuff I really, REALLY want. But then I always really want anything by Jayne Castle, Anna Hackett and Nalini Singh. Bookish resolutions are just so damn hard to keep! For Review: The Champion of Baresh (Star World Frontier #1) by Susan Grant Don’t Let Go (Hope #6) by Jaci […]
The next entries in two of my favorite, and therefore most anticipated, series popped up on Edelweiss this week. Every year, I look forward to another trip to Three Pines with the now retired Chief Inspector Gamache and his friends, so A Great Reckoning is now beckoning me. Likewise, I can’t wait to see how […]
I’m really curious about Bookburners. It was originally published as a serial novel, and now the whole set is available. I adore Max Gladstone’s work, so I can’t wait to see how this combined effort turns out. I’m also very interested in Echoes of Sherlock Holmes. This is the third collection of Holmes-inspired stories edited […]
Seven is the sweet spot for the graph, or at least one of them. So when Rhys Ford contacted me this morning with the eARC of the next Sinners book, I knew my Saturday post was set. Also that my weekend was booked. Because I can never resist dropping everything to read one of her […]
As you read this, we’re on our way back from a conference. i just went along as Galen’s “plus one”, not to attend the conference but to socialize after. With both of us in the library business, we know the same people, even when the event is only for one of us or the other […]
As always, so many books, so little time. Also I just discovered that you can’t back out of a rating on NetGalley. I’m so annoyed at myself for clicking on the wrong book. But seriously, there are two books on this list that I have been waiting for: The Ninja’s Daughter by Susan Spann and […]
Ironically, the book I’m most excited about this week is the one that has no cover. Jeffe Kennedy is continuing her absolutely awesome Twelve Kingdoms series in the new Uncharted Realms series, beginning with the novella Crown of the Kingdom, followed by The Pages of the Mind. Crown of the Kingdom has no cover, but […]
I know it looks like I got nearly as much from the library as I received in review copies, but that’s a bit deceptive. The Neapolitan Novels were recommended to me last year, and when I saw that the library had the complete set (so far) in one ebook package, I decided to give them […]
For better or for worse, this looks like a more normal week. Two books on here that I was just about dying to get: Allegiance of Honor by Nalini Singh and Dawn of the Flame Sea by Jean Johnson. I love the Psy-Changeling series, and I scoop up everything of Jean Johnson’s the minute I […]
