Back in the saddle again
I came back from the writing retreat having written 32, 281 words in basically 3.5 days. I am completely stunned. I have never written that much in that little time, ever. I worked on the sequel to The Incubus Job…
Not entirely a book review, but it is
I just finished the third book in Lisa Shearin’s SPI files. They are so fun. I read the first one, The Grendel Affair, when it first came out. I bought the second, The Dragon Conspiracy, and then somehow forgot about…
Book Review: Thinning the Heard by Adrian Phoenix
Received from Netgalley Thinning the Herd by Adrian Phoenix is a damned fun book. You’re going to want to read this one. Before I tell you why, let’s start with the back of the book description: From the New York…
Book review: Cold Girl by R. M. Greenaway
I received this book from Netgalley. I just finished R.M. Greenaway’s Cold Girl. This is a mystery and a police procedural. It revolves around a disappearance–what happened to the pretty singer of a local up-and-coming Canadian band? The main characters…
What a week it’s been
The sick continues. Last night was . . . hell. Girlie woke me up at 11:43 having explosively vomited. She’s got quite the messy room and didn’t make it out of bed, so yeah. First it was clean up in…
Book Review: The Seventh Bride, T. Kingfisher
I received this book from Netgalley. Wow. I mean, wow. The Seventh Bride by T. Kingfisher (aka Ursula Vernon) is stunning. So freaking good. I’ve read three books so far this year that I think deserve big awards and this…
Book Review: Wrapped in Red
Received from Netgalley. This book is actually two novellas about Christmas, both contemporary romances. I don’t really have a lot to say about them. I found them fine, but not really all that appealing to me on an emotional level.…
Book review: The Society Lilith Saintcrow
I received this book from NetGalley. I enjoy reading Lilith Saintcrow. I was looking forward to The Society quite a bit and sadly found myself disappointed. It has a terrific premise, but it wasn’t executed as well as I hoped…
Book review: Shadow Fall
I’m way behind on book reviews. Way behind. I counted. I have at least nine books that I’ve read and haven’t yet written my reviews. Some of the books were really good, some less so, some really less so. I’ll…
All the Ways I Love This Book: Silver on the Road
First, a qualifier. I know Laura Anne Gilman and I got an advance reader copy of the book from her because I whined and moaned. I’d heard her read from it at an SFWA reading and I so wanted to…
