The Silvered by Tanya Huff
The Silvered by Tanya HuffReview of the Silvered by Tanya Huff

As far as I know, The Silvered by Tanya Huff is one of those rare creatures that at times may seem like a myth in itself—a stand alone fantasy book. While I love reading some books that tell a complete story on their own, I am hoping that this one does end up having a sequel or two.

Artemis Awakening by Jane LindskoldThe Leaning Pile of Books

The Leaning Pile of Books is a feature where I talk about books I got over the last week – old or new, bought or received for review consideration. Since I hope you will find new books you’re interested in reading in these posts, I try to be as informative as possible. If I can find them, links to excerpts, author’s websites, and places where you can find more information on the book are included. This week brought three ARCs, […]

Iron Night by M.L. BrennanReview of Iron Night by M. L. Brennan

I loved both Generation V and Iron Night. Fort has always tried […]

Vicious by V. E. SchwabMini Reviews & Thoughts: New (To Me) Authors

Once again, I’m doing some more catching up with some shorter reviews/thoughts on a few books. Unfortunately, none of the books in this particular set are ones I liked very much, though you may want to look at some other reviews of them since I’ve seen positive reviews for them, even mainly positive reviews for some. It was going to be a slightly more positive post, but I ended up taking out the book by a new to me author […]
