Last night I finished reading Karin Lowachee’s The Gaslight Dogs so the poll for what to read next is now closed. It was a close race between Changeless and Servant of a Dark God, but Changeless won by 1 vote so that will be next. As much as I’d like to stay and finish a review, I’m afraid I have to go clean now. Yuck.

As usual, I’m indecisive so help me decide what to read next by voting on the poll to the right. I’ll read whichever book wins when I’m done with The Gaslight Dogs and leave the poll up until I’m finished with it. And I just might run another poll when I need to choose one of the books I bought to read after that because I’m really torn about whether to read the new Carol Berg, the new Robin Hobb, […]

And, no, it doesn’t have to be this one. 😉 Once again, the Preditors and Editors Readers’ Poll for best review site is open. It will be until January 14. I was really surprised to see several of my favorites missing from the list and I wish I could add them all. It seems like a lot of the ones that were on there last year are missing, at least so far. Maybe I just caught it late last year […]

This year I have surpassed my goal of reading 50 books by reading 58 total. Earlier this month, I was hoping maybe I’d make it to 60 but didn’t quite make it. Fifty-nine is a possibility but 60 probably is not (especially since I haven’t wanted to read books that are too terribly short since I’m 6 reviews behind right now and need to get caught up). A little over a week ago, I posted my favorite books from 2009 […]

Do I dare make a December reading list? I’m not so sure I do after last month’s failed attempt, especially considering December was the month last year that I managed to read the fewest books due to the busy holiday season. So I think I’ll learn my lesson from last year (when I attempted to read a 700 – 800 page book that I just didn’t have time for) and stick to short-ish books for December. I am going to […]

So, whilst I was off being a good little grad student, apparently there was a Thing in the blogosphere about this fun little rant. By special request of RRRJessica, here’s my take on the subject: He’s got a point. Wait! Stop! Before you fire up the hate mail, I should probably clarify that a bit. There is a valid point in there. It’s a tiny little thing; like most points it is 0-dimensional, lacking depth, width, and breadth, and is […]
