I just realized I never posted the Kirkus Review of A Song of Storm and Shadow, which I almost exactly two years ago. So I’m doing it now! Superlative characters garner the spotlight in this quiet but absorbing fantasy. In Cain’s series opener, a royal arranged marriage may bring peace—unless …
Never Worry About Money Again: By Answering One Question By Jesse Mecham Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book on Netgalley. I’ve been using YNAB software for years now, but my use has honestly been mostly as a glorified check register. I never delved much into the various …
Back in January, I blogged about what I’d been reading lately. I wanted to post an update with some more books I’ve loved recently. I’m going back to February and March for some of these. Just to recap my reading goals for 2018, I want to read at least 50 …
I set some specific reading goals for 2018. My #OwnVoices Reading Resolution didn’t go quite as well as I had hoped in 2017, and I think a large reason is that I wasn’t as deliberate as I should have been. I made a list of books I wanted to read, …
A couple of months ago I shared the cover of Dream Eater by K. Bird Lincoln, and hosted a blog post by her. At the same time, I was also given an e-ARC of the book to read. Since the book releases today, I want to tell you how much I …
I just read a super-fun romance novel by Alexis Hall called Looking for Group. Get your mind out of the gutter–it’s a World of Warcraft reference! This book might not be everyone’s cup of tea, because large sections of it are written in the format of Guild Chat. For me, …
I’ve had Faerie Blood by Angela Korra’ti on my Kindle app for some time now because I like the author’s blog. I finally got around to starting it last week, and I did nothing else all day but read it–far too late in the night! As soon as I finished …
Okay, let me start with a disclaimer. Well, with two disclaimers. One: Mystery isn’t my main reading genre. And two: I’ve been reeling since the election on November 8. I’ll be clear here: I was a Bernie Sanders supporter, but I voted for Hillary Clinton. And I am still stunned …
Sirens is yet another strong entry into the Rhonda Parrish’s Magical Menagerie series from World Weaver Press. As I’ve said before, I’m not usually one to read anthologies, but I’ve gotten hooked on Parrish’s carefully shaped anthologies. I’ll try not to spoil any of the stories too much for you …
I was lucky enough to score an e-ARC of Rhonda Parrish’s latest alphabet anthology, C is for Chimera. Releasing April 12, this book is a good showcase for Parrish’s literary curatorship. I’m a huge fan of Parrish’s anthologies, from Fae to Corvidae and its companion Scarecrow, so I jumped at a chance to review …
