This week I have a giveaway, and I’m hoping to revise a draft of a post for the week.  Then I’ll move on to reviewing A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge and Dust by Elizabeth Bear (which I just read for this month’s Women of Science Fiction Book Club).  I’ll also be writing a review of Late Eclipses by Seanan McGuire, but I won’t be posting it until closer to the release date in March.  So for now […]

Sorry for the quiet week.  I have been working on a couple of posts, but I wasn’t satisfied enough with them to post them yet.  However, I am hoping that means I can make up for this week and finish posts on the rest of the books I read in 2010 so I can move on to books read in 2011 (there’s only one so far but it was a lengthy book so I’m hoping books read will increase quickly […]

This week brought two books – one ARC and one bargain I found.  (Who can pass up a $5 trade paperback of a book they heard was good? Not me!) The Dragon’s Path by Daniel Abraham This is the first book in a new series by Daniel Abraham called The Dagger and the Coin.  It will be available in trade paperback on April 7.  On the same day I received the book, I also got a Spring/Summer 2011 catalog from […]

I hope everyone who celebrated had a good holiday!  Due to Christmas this week’s leaning pile of books post is pretty long – I got a few signed books and some books off my wish list.  Often I include books my husband gets since there’s potential I’ll read them, especially if he says they are good, but this took me forever to put together so I’m just going to list them at the end. In other news I’m on vacation […]

This week’s post will be short, I’m afraid. I’ve been sick all weekend and haven’t really felt up to doing much until just a couple of hours ago.  The good news is that means I’ve gotten some reading done – I finished Midsummer Night by Freda Warrington (and loved it) and started The Folding Knife by K. J. Parker (which is awesome so far). This week brought three review copies.  My husband also gave me a copy of a book […]

Today I bought two books due to the fact that I had $10 in Borders bucks that were going to disappear if I didn’t use them over the next couple of days.  We can’t have that happening!  I was hoping to get the next Lee and Taro book by Moira J. Moore, but the bookstore didn’t have it so I ended up with these two instead: The Decoy Princess by Dawn Cook Dawn Cook is also Kim Harrison, the author […]
