The tricky business of faerie bargains

“The fun is in the taking. Why haven’t you killed the Hunter?”

The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains by Reena McCarty

May 18, 2026 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

In one of my online groups, folks started talking about Reena McCarty’s The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains. Being currently poor, I put it on hold at my library. I had some expectations based on the title, but I quickly learned that Faerie Bargains is more than faerie adventures but with lawyers … [Read more]

Three extremely different books about space

Otherworldly by Dwain Worrell

Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

May 18, 2026 by kfishgirl 1 Comment

I'm being lazy and combining these three VERY DIFFERENT BOOKS because Space! I read Otherworldly and Project Hail Mary as ebooks, and Atmosphere as an audiobook. Otherworldly first! So, one of my favorite book genres is space horror. My list of fears (to read or watch a movie / TV show … [Read more]

May 18, 2026 by faintingviolet 5 Comments

Reviewing a re-read is always a bit of a stumper for me, and even though I’ve been systematically making my way through re-reading the Murderbot books over the past couple of years the idea of trying to have something new to say about Network Effect is a bit daunting. Even though it has been over … [Read more]

I have started a few books in the last month or two that I fully intend to finish but they aren’t quite holding my attention and I keep starting new books rather than going back to them. So I feel like I have been struggling to get through novels but then I look back over my recent reads and … [Read more]

The Hubris and Entitlement of Alchemists

Inkpot Gods by Seanan McGuire

May 17, 2026 by Jen K 2 Comments

I have read most of what Seanan McGuire has written, including under her pen name Mira Grant, so of course I jumped at Netgalley’s offer of an ARC of Inkpot Gods, the fourth of her Alchemical Journeys novels (she also did a spin off of this series, writing some of the often referenced children’s … [Read more]
