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

Stolen Songbird is about a young woman, Cécile, who is kidnapped on her way home from the local village and taken to a secret city of trolls located under a mountain.

Book Review: What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank by Krista D. Ball
So, this one is a little unusual for me to review in that it is a non-fiction book. It also happens to be written by a friend of mine, so I'll get that out of the way right up front. I picked this one up to read for my fantasy related non-fiction square for the … Continue reading Book Review: What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank by Krista D. Ball
Book Review: The Oddling Prince by Nancy Springer
I'm struggling with a way to begin this review that won't sound like I'm incoherently babbling about how much I loved reading this because, for me, it's just that great a book. So, I'll start in the usual way, with a short summary of the book. The Oddling Prince takes place in the kingdom of … Continue reading Book Review: The Oddling Prince by Nancy Springer
The Infinity of Space and Other Humorous Concepts
Hi! Today, in my review, I'm going to discuss three books. All are independently published, and I will be singing the praises of this amazing publishing option, as well as warning people away from the dragons and goblins that lurk along the way. For like any good fantasy quest, the journey to the Lost Tower … Continue reading The Infinity of Space and Other Humorous Concepts
Book Review: Iron Gold by Pierce Brown
I am a big fan of the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. In fact, the audiobooks of Red Rising, narrated so fantastically by Tim Gerard Reynolds, are what sparked my love of audiobooks. It wasn't only the narration, which is really top tier, but also the energy of the story itself that made me … Continue reading Book Review: Iron Gold by Pierce Brown
This Week in Reading: Ongoing Rebellions, Southern Witches, Fantasy of Manners, and Medieval Recipes
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
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!
