The Leaning Pile of Books
This week was a balanced week – I bought two books and received two review copies. On Thursday, I went to see Catherynne M. Valente talk and ended up buying two signed books. One I already have and have already reviewed, so instead of talking about it again, I’ll just direct you to my review of The Habitation of the Blessed if you want more information about it. Of course, I rather liked it since I bought a second copy […]
Today I am pleased to have a guest post by Lev AC Rosen, author of the new book All Men of Genius (which was just released yesterday!). The book is a steampunk adventure inspired by William Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde – specifically, their respective plays Twelfth Night and The Importance of Being Earnest. As you may have seen, I was quite interested in this book. I ended up starting it as soon as I finished what I had been reading […]

Guest Post by Cinda Williams Chima: Thieves as Heroes

I’m quite glad I have more books in the series to look […]

How could I not after last year when I bought my favorite book of the year on that day (Elfland by Freda Warrington)? Aftermath by Ann Aguirre This is the fifth book in the Sirantha Jax series, and I really enjoy these books so I had to get the latest one since it just came out! These are […]
