The Leaning Pile of Books
It will most likely be a busy week with last minute preparations for going to Book Expo America next week, but there will at least be a review of The Fear Principle by B. A. Chepaitis this week. I’m hoping to review Eona by Alison Goodman (or maybe Embassytown by China Mieville if I can finish it on time) before leaving as well, but we’ll have to see how it goes – there doesn’t seem to have been as much […]
April Reading
Just like March, I finished one book on the first of the month and just missed 5 books for the month.

The Leaning Pile of Books
First, a quick update: This whole past week I was busy every single evening after work so I didn’t make any progress on book reviews. I’m working on a review of Passion Play by Beth Bernobich and then I have a review of Eona by Alison Goodman to write (it kept me up until 3 in the morning – I absolutely loved it). At the moment I’m reading two science fiction books – The Fear Principle by B. A. Chepaitis […]
