Today’s guest is Janice from Janicu’s Book Blog, one of my must-read sites! Janice mostly reads and reviews speculative fiction with a romantic element (although she also reads SFF without romance and romance without SFF). In a rare turn of events, I actually met Janice in person before I was familiar with her blog when we both attended the first Book Blogger Convention. She was reading The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N. K. Jemisin (a book I loved) and I […]

Hope’s Follyby Linnea Sinclair448pp (Paperback)My Rating: 7/10Amazon Rating: 4/5LibraryThing Rating: 4.17/5Goodreads Rating: 4.47/5 Hope’s Folly by Linnea Sinclair is the third science fiction romance novel set in the Dock 5/Gabriel’s Ghost Universe. The first two books, Gabriel’s Ghost and Shades of Dark, are closely connected and focus on the adventures of former Fleet Captain Chaz Bergren and Gabriel Sullivan. Hope’s Folly takes place after the first two novels and does refer to previous events but it only mentions Chaz and […]

Hope’s Folly, the third book in Linnea Sinclair’s Dock Five series, is out today. The copy I pre-ordered is now on its way! This one is about Philip instead of Chaz and Sully. As much as I liked Philip, I’m a little worried he’ll be too normal and uncomplicated to carry a whole book for me (which is why I preferred Gabriel’s Ghost/Shades of Dark over An Accidental Goddess – the characters in the latter were much more normal with […]

An Accidental Goddessby Linnea Sinclair464pp (Paperback)My Rating: 6/10Amazon Rating: 4/5LibraryThing Rating: 3.95/5Goodreads Rating: 4.54/5 An Accidental Goddess is a science fiction romance novel by Linnea Sinclair. It is a far future sequel to Wintertide, which I did not know until after reading this one. An Accidental Goddess is self-contained and makes perfect sense read on its own, though. I read this book right after Gabriel’s Ghost and Shades of Dark because I loved those two so much that I wanted […]

Shades of Darkby Linnea Sinclair448pp (Paperback)My Rating: 9/10Amazon Rating: 4/5LibraryThing Rating: 4.2/5Goodreads Rating: 4.08/5 Shades of Dark is the sequel to Gabriel’s Ghost and the second book in Linnea Sinclair’s Dock 5 Universe series. While Shades of Dark picks up where the first book left off and focuses on the same main characters, the third book Hope’s Folly (to be released in February 2009) is about Philip Guthrie, a secondary character in the series so far. Shades of Dark should […]

This is the last of the four giveaways featuring some of my favorite books read this year. The final book is one of the two Dock 5 Universe novels by Linnea Sinclair – either Gabriel’s Ghost (review) or Shades of Dark. (I was hoping to have a review of the latter book up by today but with all the holiday running around, I haven’t had the time yet. I’ll link to it once I get it up, hopefully sometime this […]
