So close to 5 books this month, missing it by just one day!  The past couple of weeks have been busy, but I’m hoping to get back to writing my review of Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente soon.  Especially considering I’m going to have another new review to write before too long at the rate at which I’m going through Alison Goodman’s Eon – I’m starting to think I’m going to be very glad to have Eona around when I’m […]

This week’s edition consists entirely of books received as birthday presents (which is also why this post is a day late – I was busy most of the weekend with birthday stuff).  There are supposed to be more birthday books on the way as well since some are coming from overseas, and my husband also pre-ordered A Dance with Dragons for me.  I’ll have to be patient and wait until mid-July for that one! The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Volume 1 […]

Moore, both very fun books). I’m reading Deathless by Catherynne M. […]

This week I received a second ARC of Department Nineteen by Will Hill from Penguin so I’m giving it away! Jamie Carpenter’s life will never be the same. His father is dead, his mother is missing, and he was just rescued by an enormous man named Frankenstein. Jamie is brought to Department 19, where he is pulled into a secret organization responsible for policing the supernatural, founded more than a century ago by Abraham Van Helsing and the other survivors […]
