This week’s edition consists entirely of books received as birthday presents (which is also why this post is a day late – I was busy most of the weekend with birthday stuff).  There are supposed to be more birthday books on the way as well since some are coming from overseas, and my husband also pre-ordered A Dance with Dragons for me.  I’ll have to be patient and wait until mid-July for that one! The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Volume 1 […]

It was another great book with lots of books I really, really want to read – 4 review copies (all of which I’d love to read soon although I’m not sure how realistic that is), 2 books bought, and 1 late Christmas gift (due to the book not actually being out on time for Christmas).  I am not buying any books this next week, I promise! Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente Deathless will be released in hardcover and as an […]

This week was another huge week for books – I received 3 review copies, got 5 books as gifts from a friend, accepted one e-book review copy, and downloaded a free e-book offered to me by the author on Twitter.  And now that I just finished The Native Star by M. K. Hobson for the Nebula Readathon I have no idea what to read next (especially since I really just want the sequel to The Native Star right now – […]

First, a quick update: I’ve finished a draft of a review of Dust by Elizabeth Bear, so I’m hoping to get that up over the next day or two.  Now that it’s almost time for Late Eclipses, the fourth October Daye novel by Seanan McGuire, to be released, I’m also working on that review and hope to have it up soon.  After that, I’m caught up on reviews, but I’m taking a break from a book that is taking a […]

First, a quick update on this week: I have another interview for you on Monday!  This time it is with Elizabeth Bear, one of my favorite authors ever.  I’m also working on a review of her novel Dust, so I’m hoping to have that up sometime over the next few days as well.  I hope everyone enjoyed the interview with Freda Warrington (Part One | Part Two). I had a lot of fun learning more about her and am really […]
