I read World War Z many years ago when a friend lent it to me and I enjoyed it a lot. What's not to love about a zombie apocalypse? Two years ago when I first started listening to audio books several people recommended I pick up the full cast recording of WWZ, especially after I … Continue reading Audiobook Review: World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks

Book Review: Heart’s Blood by Juliet Marillier
Heart's Blood by Juliet Marillier is a Celtic take on the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast. From Goodreads: Whistling Tor is a place of secrets, a mysterious, wooded hill housing the crumbling fortress of a chieftain whose name is spoken throughout the district in tones of revulsion and bitterness. A curse lies over … Continue reading Book Review: Heart’s Blood by Juliet Marillier
This Week in Reading: Magicians and Whatnot
Last week was a bit of a whirlwind for me, lots of social events this past weekend and other commitments so my reading has shifted around a bit. I finished Farseer but haven't yet picked up The Song of All. Think I'm going to read a few more lighter books before diving into that one, … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Magicians and Whatnot
Book Review: Assassin’s Quest by Robin Hobb
Assassin's Quest is the final book in the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb (but not the last book in this story overall--that continues in The Liveship Traders, the next trilogy in her Realm of the Elderlings series). It continues the story of FitzChivalry Farseer, bastard born of the former heir to the Farseer throne, assassin, … Continue reading Book Review: Assassin’s Quest by Robin Hobb
This Week in Reading: Finishing up Fitz, Zombies, Fairytale Re-tellings, and Finnish-inspired Epic Fantasy
I'm still finishing up Assassin's Quest but the good news is I only have about 150 pages left, and I'm also really enjoying this one. I finally hit a stride with it late last week into the weekend. I have to say, I like Fitz's character much more in this third book. I do have … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Finishing up Fitz, Zombies, Fairytale Re-tellings, and Finnish-inspired Epic Fantasy
Book Review: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle

This is a time when I started exploring the library on my own and was finding myself ending up in the SFF section often. I read A Wrinkle in Time and its sequels alongside works like The Chronicles of Narnia … Continue reading Book Review: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
Book Review: Last Dragon Standing by Rachel Aaron
Last Dragon Standing is the final book in Rachel Aaron's Heartstrikers series. A sort of epic urban fantasy series about the dragons of the Heartstrikers clan set in a near future centered around Detroit, Michigan. This series was one of my favorite things I read last year, and I listened to all four audiobooks one … Continue reading Book Review: Last Dragon Standing by Rachel Aaron
This Week In Reading: Second Verse, Same as the First
Ok, so I have a confession. I had a pretty terrible time last week reading-wise and only finished one fantasy novel and one non-fantasy novel--both audiobooks. I'm really only about 60 pages into the Hobb book (Assassin's Quest). I enjoyed the very start of it a lot, and I'm not sure why I haven't felt … Continue reading This Week In Reading: Second Verse, Same as the First

Picked up a few new books in the last week or so. The Song of All by Tina LeCount Myers sounded really intriguing to me so I decided to take a chance on it when offered a copy for review purposes. Description: A former warrior caught between gods and priests must fight for the survival … Continue reading New Arrivals!
