This Week in Reading: Dragons with Heart, Fitz, and Time Wrinkles
Well, I'm finally doing it--I'm finally going to finish the Farseer Trilogy. I read the first book in this series by Robin Hobb in 2014 and the second one the following year. I've been meaning to read Assassin's Quest ever since but just haven't gotten around to it for various reasons. Ok, really one reason … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Dragons with Heart, Fitz, and Time Wrinkles

But I thought I'd talk about my reading goals now that we're a little way into the year and see how I've been doing so far and if I want to shift … Continue reading 2018 Reading Goals
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: Southern Gothic, How-To Feed Your Hero, Young Nobles With a Touch of Fey, and Witchery
This week I'm finishing up two books from last week before starting a couple of new ones. I'm about twenty percent through What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank by Krista D. Ball. So far this has been a pretty fun read. Sure it's non-fiction, but it's also a humorous read and a pretty informative writing guide. … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Southern Gothic, How-To Feed Your Hero, Young Nobles With a Touch of Fey, and Witchery
Book Review: The Sisters Mederos by Patrice Sarath
I was immediately interested in this book because it's a fantasy of manners which is one of my favorite sub-genres of fantasy. I enjoy stories about folks navigating society, especially if they also point out that society's constraints and issues there may be within it. I was not disappointed as The Sisters Mederos does a … Continue reading Book Review: The Sisters Mederos by Patrice Sarath
Favorite Reads of 2017
I'm perpetually behind on things, constantly catching up on reading, writing, and a myriad of other things and this should come to no surprise to anyone who knows me well, but writing this post has been on my list of things to do for several weeks now. Anyway. Most of these books were not published … Continue reading Favorite Reads of 2017
My Year in Fantasy Reading – 2017
I'm finishing out the year having read 102 fantasy (speculative fiction) novels and 150 books overall. I did read several fantasy manga (mostly a total re-read of Fruits Basket and whatever was available of The Ancient Magus' Bride), but I didn't include them in the stats here, only novels. Some General Stats 102 novels consisted … Continue reading My Year in Fantasy Reading – 2017
