Ysabel Review

Ysabel, by Guy Gavriel Kay, was the first novel by the author I have read. I was fortunate enough to win a copy from Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist, which has a lot of book giveaway contests. This will definitely not be the last of Kay’s novels I read; I almost picked up Tigana the other day but opted to buy a copy of Patrick Rothfuss’s debut novel The Name of the Wind without the Fabio cover instead while I had the […]

Thief of Time Review

After reading Hyperion, I decided it was time to read something lighter, so I picked up Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett. At this point, I’ve read most of the Discworld series, but there are a few of them I haven’t yet read and this one was next in publication order.

Overall, I liked the series, although […]

I hope to be able to afford HBO by […]

On the Move

My fiance and I are moving this week so we’ve been packing up all our books and no matter how many we pack, there’s always more. And I even have a bunch that never got unpacked from before. It’s amazing how many we have, and how many of those I haven’t yet had time to read (many of which are on my To Read list for 2007). Here are a few of the books I came across that I’d recommend […]
