This week I received two review copies from Blind Eye Books, which publishes science fiction and fantasy featuring gay and lesbian characters. Lately I’ve accepted none of the review copies I’ve been offered in an attempt to get caught up on the reading pile, but I remembered hearing about one of these books, read some excerpts and couldn’t resist. The Archer’s Heart by Astrid Amara This was the book I remembered hearing about thanks to Orannia. Back when we were […]

So much for getting caught up on all my reviews this vacation weekend… I was planning to but I’ve been on the computer far less than normal. (Apparently, planning isn’t working well this month since I only read about half the books on my reading list for the month.) When I do start writing them, I’ve got three reviews to do now: Black Ships by Jo Graham (great book), An Illustrated Guide to Mythical Creatures by David West and Anita […]

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve had any TBR additions, but this week I do have one review copy I received. The Better Part of Darkness by Kelly Gay This debut urban fantasy is coming out on Tuesday (November 24). For a while, I was urban fantasied out (especially if it had vampires with the exception of the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs) but I read the first four pages and think I’ll be reading this one […]

This week I have five new books I added to the TBR pile. They’re all books I bought myself this time and they’re all ones I really can’t wait to read, although I probably won’t get to more than one of them this month (I’m still trying to figure out my November reading list other than By the Mountain Bound by Elizabeth Bear, which I’m reading now). Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor I received review copies of the […]

It’s Sunday so it’s time to post any new additions to the TBR for the week. I have three new ones and they are all copies I received for review. By the Mountain Bound by Elizabeth Bear I was psyched to get a copy of the second book in The Edda of Burdens series a few days ago – it is one of my most anticipated 2009 releases (it’s out on October 27). Elizabeth Bear is one of my favorite […]

I’ve decided to join in with the book blogosphere trend of posting books bought and received on a weekly basis (unless I did not happen to buy or receive books that week). So every Sunday I’m going to put up new additions to the TBR pile just for the fun of it and since I know many of you, like me, probably enjoy seeing books that they may not have noticed before. I’ve always avoided these posts since I was […]
