The last week sure does feel like it flew by fast. I'm still working on listening to the audiobook of Iron Gold by Pierce Brown. I am really enjoying it but it does tend to be on the grimmer side if things, so I can only do so much of the audio a day. I … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Ongoing Rebellions, Southern Witches, Fantasy of Manners, and Medieval Recipes
Homecoming
Good morning and Happy Monday, WTF. Today, I'm stepping back into this joint blogging endeavor and letting my once-briefly-noticed blog Stark Writing Mad fall by the wayside. I realized a while back that I could blog regularly or write novels and stories, and since my various characters have a lot of pull in my head, … Continue reading Homecoming
Low Flying Fantasy: The Coldfire Trilogy
Today, I'll be talking about an underrated Science-Fantasy series by C.S. Friedman, The Coldfire Trilogy. Every so often, I'll find myself in a bookstore holding a book I might have started decades ago, or at least wanted to read, and so it was with the second book, When True Night Falls. I'm not even sure … Continue reading Low Flying Fantasy: The Coldfire Trilogy
New Arrivals!
A few new books have been added to my gigantic never-ending to-be-read mountain! The top two are brand new books just published this month. First up is Moonshine by Jasmine Gower. The first thing that struck me with this book was the beautiful cover. (I admit I'm a bit of a sucker for a lovely … Continue reading New Arrivals!

This Week in Reading: New Adventures in Old Rebellions and Fantastic Obstacle Courses
This week I'm listening to Iron Gold by Pierce Brown, the next trilogy in the Red Rising universe. I was really excited to dive into this one because I absolutely love the Red Rising books, and they're the first audiobooks that made me feel like, yeah, I can listen to audiobooks without my mind wandering … Continue reading This Week in Reading: New Adventures in Old Rebellions and Fantastic Obstacle Courses
Book Review: Ink, Iron, and Glass by Gwendolyn Clare
Full disclosure: I ended up with an ARC copy of this in my book pile back in September while attending the Baltimore Book Festival. Since the book is being released later this month I thought it was a good time to dive in. Ink, Iron, and Glass takes place in an alternate version of the … Continue reading Book Review: Ink, Iron, and Glass by Gwendolyn Clare

Book Review: Cast in Deception by Michelle Sagara
The Chronicles of Elantra has been a favorite series of mine for years, and this latest edition to the series, the thirteenth, was a fun ride. For anyone new to these books, the series focuses on the life of Kaylin Neya--a member of the Hawks, a sort of a police force for the city of … Continue reading Book Review: Cast in Deception by Michelle Sagara
Book Review: Blackthorn and Grim series by Juliet Marillier
I listened to these books on audio late last year and fell in love with the characters so much that I marathoned all three of these pretty much back to back. I'd read one of Juliet Marillier's books before, but that was a long time ago. I'm regretting not reading more of her work and … Continue reading Book Review: Blackthorn and Grim series by Juliet Marillier
