Another week with not enough reviews written (Changeless draft is done though!), but I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case until this summer. Recently I found out we have to move at the end of May, but now we may have to by the end of this month. And then we’ll only be moving out for two months and then moving back. With all the chaos, I’ve been mostly reading books that are somewhat short because I just […]
What a crazy week. I haven’t had much spare time so I still need to finish up that review of The Thief and write one for both Magic Bites and The Gaslight Dogs. This week I used up the rest of my bookstore gift card on three books and also received three review copies. Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews I had told myself I couldn’t get this one until I reviewed the first book in the Kate Daniels series, but […]
I had been thinking about picking up the next Kate Daniels book this week but didn’t since I’m not letting myself read it until after reviewing the first one (almost there – just need to write a review of The Thief and revise a draft of A Local Habitation first). Two more review copies showed up this week, though. Changeless by Gail Carriger Changeless is the second book in the Parasol Protectorate series and is coming out in April (although […]
It was actually leaning this week since I received 7 review copies and stacked them with the need-to-review pile as they came in (which is now at 5 since I read both The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner and Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews this week – I have started on The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms review and am hoping to finish it soon). These were all unexpected review copies but there are some I will definitely be reading because they […]
Due to illness, I’ve gotten far more reading than reviewing done this weekend. I just finished A Local Habitation, the second book in Seanan McGuire’s October Daye series, which is coming out on March 2. It was a lot of fun, and I did think it was better than the first book (which I also liked). So reviews of that, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin and Sea Dragon Heir by Storm Constantine will be coming up sometime when […]
Just finished a rough draft of a review of Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs – getting closer to caught up on reviews all the time. Or maybe it would feel that way if I hadn’t finished The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms over the weekend and read most of Sea Dragon Heir yesterday, but at least it is a lot easier to review books that have been read more recently. (The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms was excellent – my favorite book I’ve read […]
