Feed by Mira Grant 608pp (Paperback) My Rating: 7/10 Amazon Rating: 4.5/5 LibraryThing Rating: 4.29/5 Goodreads Rating: 4.24/5 Feed is the first book in the Newsflesh trilogy about the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse and will be followed by Deadline and Blackout. The series is by Mira Grant, another name for urban fantasy author Seanan McGuire. Normally I do not go near zombie stories, being very squeamish about blood, gore and descriptions of eating brains.

After that there is only one book left to review, Naamah’s Kiss by Jacqueline Carey, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I might get caught up over this next week. This week I received one book in the mail that I am very excited about reading. An Artificial Night by Seanan McGuire The third book in the October Daye […]

Even though A Local Habitation just came out earlier this month, the third book, An Artificial Night, will […]

According to Orbit’s website, it will be released in May, but I noticed Amazon says it will be available on April 27. In spite of the fact that […]
This week I received one early Christmas present and one ARC. I was excited about both of them, but especially the early Christmas present. The Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge I have wanted to read this book for a long time but have never gotten it since it was out of print. So I was very thrilled when my husband found me a signed hardcover copy and gave it to me as an early Christmas present. It’s a science […]
