Last week was a pretty good week in reading for me. At least in audiobooks. I managed to finish up The Gospel of Loki by Joanne M. Harris, Traitor's Blade by Sebastien de Castell, and most of Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman all in audio. I also read Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Finishing up Chaos Mages, Lady Astronauts, Ghosts, Witches, and even more Mages!

New Arrivals!
Normally I save these posts for Sunday's but I'm shuffling things around a bit due to my schedule and being super behind in reviews. Sorry! Woke up Monday morning unexpectedly with a bad case of poison ivy spread over half my face and my eye a swollen mess (that's what I get for trying to … Continue reading New Arrivals!
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
Book Review: MaddAddam by Margaret Atwood
In this final book in her MaddAddam trilogy, Margaret Atwood gives us a look at a post-apocalyptic near-future populated by the remnants of super hippies, scientists, and genetically engineered humans and animals. There are so many interesting things to talk about in MaddAddam, I'm not even sure where to start. Let's jump in. Summary: A … Continue reading Book Review: MaddAddam by Margaret Atwood
Book Review: Space Opera by Catherynne Valente

I have been really looking forward to reading Space Opera by Catherynne Valente because 'Eurovision in space'.

Book Review: Head On by John Scalzi
I'm not a huge science fiction reader--I mostly stick to space opera or planetary romance types of books within the genre--but I found myself reading Lock In by John Scalzi a while back and really enjoying it. So I was genuinely excited when I heard that a follow up novel was coming out this year … Continue reading Book Review: Head On by John Scalzi
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
Movie Review: Annihilation
My husband and I went to see this on a whim (well, for him it was a whim--I'd been wanting to see it) and I'm really glad we got the chance to see it in theaters because it was quite a ride. Annihilation, directed by Alex Garland and staring Natalie Portman, is based on a … Continue reading Movie Review: Annihilation
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
