A Thousand Nights by E. K. Johnston February 2017 Patreon Book

Since the beginning of 2016, I have been reading and reviewing one book a month based on the results of a poll on Patreon. All of these monthly reviews can be viewed here. The February theme is one of my favorites: retellings! I love retold stories and reimaginings, and it sounded like a fun theme for the month. The February book selections were as follows: Daughter of the Forest (Sevenwaters #1) by Juliet Marillier The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine The Goose […]

Phantom Pains by Mishell Baker The 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 (usually unsolicited). 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 books, […]

The House of Shattered Wings by Aliette de Bodard January Patreon Book

Since the beginning of 2016, I have been reading and reviewing one book a month based on the results of a poll on Patreon. All of these monthly reviews can be viewed here. It’s impossible to keep up with all the books, and even aside from there always being more books to read than time to read them in, I’ve missed out on some books I was especially eager to read the last couple of years due to moving so many times—so I thought it […]

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor Anticipated 2017 Fantasy and Science Fiction Book Releases

One of the most exciting parts of a new year is looking forward to all the new books it will bring—upcoming installments in favorite series, stories written by esteemed authors, and novels by new-to-me writers that draw the eye with compelling descriptions (and perhaps a striking cover to match that enticing blurb!).
