Although I don’t have the whole week planned out, I did want to give everybody a heads up about what’s coming up on Tuesday and Wednesday since I’m very excited about it!  Content for the rest of the week and when it will be up will depend on just how fried I am in the evenings after work (and how quickly I can straighten up questions I’m putting together for an interview), but here’s what Monday through Wednesday will look […]

This week brought two books – one I bought for the Women of Science Fiction Book Club (and will be reading very soon since it’s for this month) and a finished copy of a book I already read as an ARC.  Since I already posted about the ARC when I got it and will be posting the review very soon (probably tomorrow), I won’t include the description here. The finished copy I received is The Sea Thy Mistress, the third […]

There will be another book giveaway very soon – maybe even later tonight if I can get the post set up!

This week I just got one book I bought myself (which was a serious exercise in self restraint since I actually went to the bookstore and looked around and saw many that I wanted to take home with me).  I went to look for the February Women of Science Fiction Book Club selection, but they didn’t have it so I picked up another book in a series I’ve been wanting to continue that they did have.  They did have the […]

This is not exactly a review (thus the lack of the word “review” in the title).  Since I didn’t actually finish the book, I can write about my impressions, but I can’t really write a review of the entire novel.  I tried to decide for a while whether or not to write about it even though I didn’t complete it and decided to go ahead.  When I see other people talk about books they didn’t finish, I find it useful […]
