“At one point he brushed my hand and there was electricity, but I think that was the combination of the deep carpet outside the restaurant and my new cardigan.”

I don't know how much more I can continue to say about these books, as my love for them is not diminishing but only growing, and the books are so consistent with what I love about them, I don't want to just be saying the same things every time a new one is published. But I guess I'm going to anyway! … [Read more]

Not as funny as it thinks it is, but not terrible, either.

Kill the Farm Boy (The Tales of Pell, #1) by Kevin Hearne & Delilah S. Dawson

I was hoping to like this a lot more than I did. And because I'm probably going to Review Amnesty the third book in this series, which I read in November for a book club meeting I didn't end up attending, this review will also touch on that one a little and the series as a whole.

Peace Talks (Dresden Files #16) by Jim Butcher

by Leave a Comment

I'm rounding third and headed for home with The Dresden Files, with only one more published book in the series to read. There were about 6 years in between book 15 and this book and if I had waited that long, I would have been disappointed, and a little mad. Here's a one-sentence summary of books … [Read more]

Grin and Beard It by Penny Reid

by 4 Comments

I’ve had the Winston brothers series recommended to me by several friends, so I decided to give it a try. I started with Grin and Beard It, the second book in the series (the titles are all beard themed, in case you hadn’t guessed that already), because the first book was checked out from my local … [Read more]
