Yesterday I received a review copy of one of my most anticipated releases of this year, The Broken Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin.  Today I got a second copy of the book in the mail so I’m giving away my extra copy.  This is a not an ARC – it is the finished copy of the book, which will be released on November 3. The Broken Kingdoms is the second book in the Inheritance trilogy, although it is supposed to be […]

This week I bought one book that is out of print. I happened to find some used copies available for $2 – $3 on Amazon that qualified for Prime so I snatched one up. The Ladies of Mandrigyn by Barbara Hambly This book came out in the 1984 and is the first book in the Sun Wolf and Starhawk trilogy. I’ve heard a lot of good things about this book and have had it on my “out of print book” […]

The first part is here. This part has the introduction to Of Darkness, Light, and Fire and covers the second book in it, The Fire’s Stone. Of Darkness, Light, and Fire is an omnibus containing the third and fourth novels […]

Today’s review introduces the omnibus […]

It’s been taking me forever to update all the links on the review index, but after that is done hopefully progress on the new site will go faster. I also think I’ve found a new author I must read more by – Freda Warrington. Elfland is wonderful so far – beautifully written and […]

This was too exciting not to mention… Earlier today Laini Taylor mentioned on Twitter that there was a discussion about favorite stories from her book Lips Touch: Three Times over at Readergirlz. Considering she also said she talked about her own favorite in the comments, I had to go check it out. In her comment, she said that she definitely has plans to write more stories about the Druj from “Hatchling.” “Hatchling” is not only my favorite novella in this […]
