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 […]

This week’s edition is called “I thought I knew what I wanted to read in June but now 2 interesting books showed up and I am conflicted!”  About some books at least – The Uncertain Places by Lisa Goldstein and Naamah’s Blessing by Jacqueline Carey are a certainty for June (oh, and Magic Slays by Ilona Andrews since the signed copy I pre-ordered should be here soon and I cannot wait to read this book!).  Maybe I won’t get a […]

Going to BEA both hindered and helped May as a month for reading.  It really hindered it in the beginning since I was so busy getting ready to go, but taking the bus from Maine to New York and back gave me a lot of time to make up for it!  Because of that, I finished 2 books in the last week and saved the month from having only 2 books read.  Once again, I’m going to give some brief […]

The Children of the Sky by Vernor Vinge This […]

Namely George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire and Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn. Ubisoft has a PC game scheduled for release in September called A Game of Thrones: Genesis.  It’s a RTS starting approximately 700 years before the beginning of the book A Game of Thrones and leading up to that point.  For more information, read this article or visit the official site. Progress has also been made on the Mistborn pen and paper RPG and there should […]

This is the first of two posts on books from Book Expo America (BEA).  Instead of doing one post, I decided to split it into two with one focused on young adult (or in the case of the last book, middle grade – Amazon says it’s young adult but the ARC and Tor catalog both say middle grade so I’m trusting those instead).  The other post will be on books that fall into the adult fantasy, science fiction, and horror […]
