by Leave a Comment

One of my MFA cohorts just published her debut novel, and of course, I had to buy it. Pepper’s Rules for Secret Sleuthing is a middle-grade story about our hero, Pepper, who’s gone with her father to help settle the estate of a late family relative. However, when they get there, Pepper notices some strange behavior from her own aunt and a few facts that don’t seem to add up.

The Orphans of Raspay by Lois McMaster Bujold

  Lois McMaster Bujold has released another novella set in her World of the Five Gods. And once again, she does it in such a sneaky fashion that I completely missed it!

Penric is a first for Desdemona – despite having close […]

Definitely a bro-fantasy, but with far more charm (#Reader’s Choice–BINGO!)

Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames

Having only a few hours left to finish Bingo, and not yet quite having a bingo, I’m using Reader’s Choice in lieu of True Story–because I’m not the sort of person who enjoys reading True Stories anyway. So, Bingo! (Bingo across the top row: Remix, Reader’s Choice [for True Story], Far and Away, Youths!, Reading the TBR). Several months ago, I read the highly-recommended-online Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames (also with Aquillius from my previous review, AKA my husband). We both love fantasy, and […]

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

by 2 Comments

I blame faintingviolet (and crystalclear) for my new obsession with everything Rowell. I was so happily ignorant before cracking one of her books, but now I’m like an addict and I can’t get enough. I haven’t suffered from book-hangover in a very long time, but Wayward Son has me moping around wondering when book 3 is going to hit the shelves. I don’t know what to read next, I have a stack from the library that I’m sending back because everything is just paling in comparison […]
