Book Review: Demon Haunted by Ashe Armstrong
Bit of a disclaimer, the author is a friend of mine and I received this book as a backer reward for its Kickstarter campaign. This did not affect my opinion of the book in any way. Summary: Grimluk is an orc with one purpose: hunting demons. For the past month, Grimluk has traveled with his … Continue reading Book Review: Demon Haunted by Ashe Armstrong
This Week in Reading: Catching Up From Last Week!
Well, not much to report. I did manage to read a bunch of books in the last week but not many of them were SFF. I was sick for half of the week which really messed with my audiobooking and reading schedule in general. But, I'm feeling much better now and back on track, ready … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Catching Up From Last Week!

Wow, so it sounds like I have a lot of my plate this week and that's because of course I do. I have once again committed to a lot of reading, so this week will be a bit of a challenge.

This is one … Continue reading This Week in Reading: More Magic School, More Dresden, Some DWJ, A Demon Hunting Orc, and Re-reading Kushiel
Monthly Wrap Up: May 2018
May was certainly a whirlwind reading month for me. I finished off the month having read twenty-one books. Twenty-one!!! That may be a record for me. (Not counting the time I binge-read about 50 Harlequin romances back in college in a month's time...) It helped that I was on vacation for part of the month … Continue reading Monthly Wrap Up: May 2018
This Week in Reading: More Dragons, More Dresden, Steampunk Geomancy, and Magic Schools
Last week I did a little more reading than I thought I would (oops!) and I'm now listening to the last Memoirs of Lady Trent book, Within the Sanctuary of Wings, by Marie Brennan. Kyyyyaaaah! I am just loving these books so much that I want to hug them. 😀 If you haven't read them, … Continue reading This Week in Reading: More Dragons, More Dresden, Steampunk Geomancy, and Magic Schools
Book Review: Circe by Madeline Miller
Circe by Madeline Miller re-tells the life of the Greek Goddess Circe, making her into a much more sympathetic character. Summary: In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child--not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. … Continue reading Book Review: Circe by Madeline Miller
This Week in Reading: Dragons Ahoy!
I did a great job finishing up my reading from last week and read a few non-fantasy books over the weekend so I'm not going into the week with much planned reading for once. I'm on vacation for most of the week (starting tomorrow) so not sure how much reading I'll actually get into. We'll … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Dragons Ahoy!
This Week in Reading: Finishing up Space Opera, more time with Greek Gods, Plastic Magicians, and a Near Future Robotic Sports Murder Mystery
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
