This week should be a really fun week in reading for me. I'm finishing up Space Opera by Catherynne Valente. I'm about a third of the way through and so far it's been a fun read filled with wry humor. For a book that's about an intergalactic song contest it touches a lot on the … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Finishing up Space Opera, more time with Greek Gods, Plastic Magicians, and a Near Future Robotic Sports Murder Mystery
Book Review: Kingshold
Many, many years ago, the revered scribe J.R.R. Tolkien wrote "Not all who wander are lost." Wise he may have been, but he apparently never traveled with me. While our trip north was much less eventful than our trip south, I still had to spend most of Sunday in Bowling Green, KY, coping with a … Continue reading Book Review: Kingshold

Beneath the Sugar Sky is the third novella in Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series, published by tor.com. It's a little hard to review this book, or even give a summary without spoiling parts of the first book, so if you haven't read the series at all and are thinking about checking it out, I'd suggest … Continue reading Book Review: Beneath the Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire

This Week in Reading: Poppy War, more Assassins, and Wayward Children
This week will be a fairly slow week for me reading-wise as I'll be spending a lot of time prepping for the Fancy Tea Book Club meeting I'll be hosting on Sunday so that won't leave me with a ton of down-time. Going to whittle away at some books nonetheless! First up is The Poppy … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Poppy War, more Assassins, and Wayward Children
