This was a very nice week before vacation! One of the things I love about Delilah S. Dawson’s Blud series is the way that she keeps it going between books with novellas. Just when it seems like the wait will be interminable (Blud #3, Wicked after Midnight won’t be out until the end of January) […]
This was not one of my more restrained weeks. Not. The Carina September list popped up on NetGalley and pretty much everything on the list spoke to me. Not really, but maybe half the list. Along with half my holds at the library coming in. Maybe when we’re on vacation I’ll make a dent in […]
If you’ve never heard of StoryBundle, and you love Classic Doctor Who, you have 10 days to get in on a treat. StoryBundle is HumbleBundle for indie books. Their current bundle o’books is the six Doctor Who titles I purchased this week. The deal is that you pay what you think the books are worth, […]
I have a short stack this week (ooh, yum, sounds like pancakes!) but there’s one book on here that I couldn’t resist pre-ordering. Can you guess what it is? It’s Heart Fortune by Robin D. Owens. There’s something about her Celta series that just pulls me in, every time. Well, not quite every time. I […]
It’s summer. It’s kind of hot out, even here in temperate Seattle, to the point where we’re debating between more fans and just breaking down and getting an air conditioner for the bedroom. But I’m seeing (and getting) not just winter review books from NetGalley and Edelweiss, but books for next Spring! The Revenant of […]
My iPad is filled with two weeks of irresistible books, most of which are coming out in the fall. But…Rex Regis by L.E. Modesitt Jr. has the dubious distinction of being my book with the latest release date. Next year. And I’ve already read it and written the review. I’m so invested in the series […]
At the ALA Conference, I restrained myself. Even more than I usually do. After my surgery, I really wasn’t supposed to be carrying anything, and it just didn’t seem fair to make Galen tote around loads of books for me. So I tried to be good. On the other hand, I loved Lyndsay Faye’s Dust […]
Until Friday, it was starting to look like I wasn’t going to get any review books this week. Then the new Ether Chronicles book popped up in Edelweiss (YAY!) and the 3rd Sullivans book finally arrived in the mail (tour date is set, it’s always a relief when the book shows up) Now I just […]
I don’t say this often enough, but the Stacking the Shelves meme is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews as a way of sharing the enthusiasm about new books that were just received but that a blogger might or might not review for a bit. This week I didn’t get too many books (for a change) and […]
I didn’t know there was a name for my condition. I’ve always thought it was just me, but according to Sarah Wendell from Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, and confirmed by Wiktionary, I have a lifelong case of abibliophobia. You probably do too. It’s the fear of running out of things to read. (Sarah’s illustration from […]
