I’m a little late, since we’re halfway through July, but today I’m sharing my most anticipated books for July, August and September. I’ve picked my top five for each month, and at the end of this post I’ll show you how I did last quarter (not bad, actually!) Titles are linked to Goodreads, here we […]
The nitty-gritty: While the writing and themes were beautifully done, the plot and the multiple timelines never really gelled for me. Mudlark had a lot of potential, but it lacked a few important things for me. Mostly, I never felt an emotional connection to the characters, so it was very hard to care about what […]
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. It’s been a long, hot week here, with temps in the high 80s most days. Ugh. We have a few days coming up […]
I never in a million years thought I’d still be blogging fifteen years after I started this blog on a whim! Yet here I am, still plugging away. I thought “15” would be a good time to stop and take a look back, share the good and the bad, and especially, say “thank you” to […]
The nitty-gritty: A delightfully swoony conclusion to Brigitte Knightley’s Dearly Beloathed duology, The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy sparkles with wit, romance and unforgettable characters. “Hearts are such wretched things.” I enjoyed the first book in Brigitte Knightley’s duology, The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy, but the second book is better in […]
I figured it was time to do another DNF post, and both of these hurt! I do want to say that a lot of readers love both books, so do keep that in mind as you’re reading my personal opinions. Both books were gifted to me by the publishers (Titan Books and Orbit Books), and […]
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 […]
I’m linking up with Top Ten Tuesday, which was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog. Today’s prompt is to make a list of books with [word of choice] in the title, and because it’s Summer of Horror, […]
The nitty-gritty: The perfect antidote to action-heavy fantasy, The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance has surprising depth, well drawn characters, and a nice found family vibe. “Climbing a mountain is more than simply striving for the peak, Ainsworth.” For a book that got off to a very shaky start, I was surprised by […]
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. I’m currently enjoying a long weekend, which will come to an end all too soon! The weather has been very nice, but we […]
