Hey, another tag! I came across this one at Kelly's blog, Another Book in the Wall (I can't tell you how much I love her blog name--it's perfection really.)

Reviews: Indie FSF Magazines
Those of you who know me know that the science-fiction or fantasy novella is perhaps my favorite form of fiction, with well-written stories close behind. I do adore good long doorstoppers from time to time (I did just finish Kushiel's Dart, and I plan on reading the rest of the trilogy after I read A … Continue reading Reviews: Indie FSF Magazines
This Week in Reading: More Dresden, Robots, Curses, and Kate Daniels
