First, a quick update since it’s been quiet around here lately: Yesterday I finally finished the 1,000 page hardcover behemoth A Dance With Dragons!  That means hopefully I’ll be getting back to writing more here now that I won’t be spending almost every spare moment reading it very slowly and trying to catch as many of the details as possible. This week brought one review copy. Low Town by Daniel Polansky This debut novel is also being released under the […]

This week brought some pretty exciting books since I finally got my copy of A Dance With Dragons, the fifth installment in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series.  Better yet, I got it signed along with a new hardcover copy of A Game of Thrones (because I really needed a third copy of this book, but oh well – it’s signed and it’s one of two books in the series I didn’t already have in […]

Due to a busy week, I haven’t had a chance to finish any of those reviews, but I’m hoping to at least finish the one I have started today so I can post it sometime next week.  However, next week is going to be busy as well since John and I decided to drive the 4 hours to go to one of George R. R. Martin’s signings on the A Dance With Dragons tour!  I’m very excited since this has […]

I thought I was going to end up bookless this week, but then on Friday I came home to find 5 of them waiting for me. Since this week was the third time I got a copy of Cold Magic by Kate Elliott (this time in mass market paperback), I’m not going to list it below again.  If you have been waiting for it in mass market paperback the wait is almost over, though.  It will be available in stores […]

Another Sunday, more additions to the TBR.  Except this Sunday there’s also some dismay because of the lack of Game of Thrones tonight.  Good thing the next book is almost out! This week was an exciting week – two of my most anticipated new releases from this year showed up.  I also ended up with hand-me-down copies of the entire Hunger Games trilogy, but I’m not going to list them here since I already did list the first book in […]

This week’s edition of books added to the leaning pile brought 1 review copy and 1 book I had pre-ordered.  Oh happy week as the latter was one of my most anticipated reads of the year (and yes, I’ve already finished it and will probably start working on the review today so hopefully there will be a review of both Song of Scarabaeus by Sara Creasy and that book next week). The Dread Hammer by Trey Shiels Trey Shiels is […]
