I can’t remember the last time I only got five books in a week. I’m sure it’s happened before, but not often. Better luck next week? Or at least luck earlier in the week? I thought this post was done, and suddenly got two more books and had to edit. But it’s a good thing. For […]
I was talking with some book reviewing pals the other day, and one of the topics of conversation was that we were all having a dry spell with NetGalley and Edelweiss. There just hasn’t been nearly as much that screamed “READ ME” as there used to be. Hopefully this trend will not continue! For Review: […]
This is probably one of my shortest shelf stacks. There just wasn’t a whole lot that really appealed. Some things here I have to read for various reasons, but I didn’t see much in either NetGalley or Edelweiss this week that screamed “READ ME!”, or at least didn’t scream it the way that The Marriage […]
What do you do for a reading slump? I’m asking because I’m not sure whether I’m in a reading slump or just a slump. Certainly most of what I saw on NetGalley and Edelweiss this week only looked “meh”. On the other hand, I gobbled up Anna Hackett’s Holmes the second the download finished. So […]
Although I read the early books in Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series, I stopped somewhere in the middle. I remember enjoying them, but my continuation fell prey to the “so many books, so little time” problem. I got the next-to-the-last book for a tour, so I went hunting through my various libraries to […]
We were out of town most of the week, a sudden family trip to Pennsylvania. But we’re home now, and it’s taken me a couple of days to organize my way out of chaos. My hold on the ebook copy of Brotherhood in Death arrived in my inbox just when we arrived, and I […]
In case anyone is wondering how I finally got on the bandwagon for Anne Bishop’s The Others series, it’s all because of an assignment from Novelist. I was updating their “Author-Read-Alikes” essay for Anne Bishop, and decided it was time to read Written In Red, if only to figure out what might qualify as an […]
This looks like a normal winter week. Alternatively, OMG, this is a normal winter week of book stacking! My friends over at The Book Pushers all said that the Captive Prince trilogy was marvelous and that I should jump on the offer of review copies. So I jumped. Adding to the stack, my surprise and […]
This is two weeks’ stack. And I needed to stock up on books in preparation for the coming Atlanta Snowpocalypse. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. But seriously…I didn’t pick up books at the conference. I saw lots of interesting things, but my back was already killing me (so were my feet!) so […]
I managed to get more books this week than I expected. This list is longer than I thought it would be, especially since I have to cut it off early. Because conference. And travel. And freezing in Boston. I was astonished and terribly pleased to get an eARC for The Murder of Mary Russell. I […]
