The nitty-gritty: S.A. Barnes’s fantasy debut is a solid series opener with dangerous characters, high stakes and plenty of romantic angst. “And I need you to know that I may not enjoy killing people, but I am very, very good at it.” Despite my middle of the road rating, I really did enjoy Death’s Daughter, […]
Welcome to Buffy’s Corner, where I take a look at what’s coming up this week on the blog! I’m linking up with The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s blog, The Caffeinated Reviewer. First of all, happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there! I have a slightly different Badger photo today, just the tip […]
The nitty-gritty: Nicholas Binge combines cosmic horror with biting commentary on big corporations in this short and entertaining novella. Nicholas Binge is such a good writer, and Abyss was a fun, mind-bending story with some Lovecraftian horror elements, hence the tentacled creature on the cover. It’s also a cautionary tale of corporate greed and how […]
Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently […]
It wouldn’t be Wyrd & Wonder without a list, so today I’ve put together twelve upcoming adult fantasy books that I can’t wait to read. There are a lot of fantasy books coming out in the next six months or so, so this is obviously just a slice of what to expect. I’ve also decided […]
The nitty-gritty: Intricately constructed and full of surprising reveals and connections, The Girl With a Thousand Faces is an epic, emotional journey of revenge, trauma and forgiveness. “Pain and grief are holes that never fill. We just learn to step around them as we walk.” It’s been a four year wait for Sunyi Dean’s follow […]
Welcome to Buffy’s Corner, where I take a look at what’s coming up this week on the blog! I’m linking up with The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s blog, The Caffeinated Reviewer. Work was super slow this week, and on Thursday I thought it was Friday all day, lol. Imagine how excited I was to […]
The nitty-gritty: A magical cafe is the setting for this engaging fantasy that blends mythology and modern themes. The Café of Infinite Doors has a fascinating premise, but it ended up being a mixed bag for me, mostly because of the characters (I’ll explain more below). I did love the touches of folklore, however, which […]
Happy May! This month I’m participating in Wyrd & Wonder, a fantasy reading event, so I’m going to separate my books into two piles: fantasy and other genres. I’m actually surprised how much of my May TBR is fantasy, although some of these are a mash up of fantasy and horror. If you don’t know […]
April was a very good month for reading! My favorite book of the month was The Book Witch, and I had four 4.5 star reads too. I also managed to post ten reviews, which I’m happy about. Four of these are novellas, so that’s probably why:-) Here are the books I read and reviewed in […]
