After all, it would just be sad to cancel my Amazon pre-order, get the time off work, and go all the way down there to come away with no signed book!  It turned out I was […]

Thanks to Grand Central Publishing, I have 3 copies of Naamah’s Blessing by Jacqueline Carey to give away!  This is the final book in the Naamah trilogy and the ninth Kushiel’s Legacy book, although it’s not necessary to read the first 2 trilogies before this one.  It will be released on June 29th. I’m about a third of the way through Naamah’s Blessing right now and am really enjoying it. As usual, Jacqueline Carey’s writing is beautiful and even though […]

Chasing a map tattooed on human skin. Across an omniverse of intereing […]

Yesterday I received a review copy of one of my most anticipated releases of this year, The Broken Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin.  Today I got a second copy of the book in the mail so I’m giving away my extra copy.  This is a not an ARC – it is the finished copy of the book, which will be released on November 3. The Broken Kingdoms is the second book in the Inheritance trilogy, although it is supposed to be […]
