The nitty-gritty: Full of humor, action, mystery and suspense, this story surprised me with its unexpectedly satisfying emotional depth. I know I’ve stumbled onto a talented writer when a story’s themes are carried out from beginning to end, and that’s exactly what Seth Fried has done in The Municipalists. The two main characters, an odd […]
![Over-Booked [99] – A Book Haul Post](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ob-3-9.jpg?resize=200%2C200)
Welcome to Over-Booked, where I share my latest and greatest book acquisitions! I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves over at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at The Caffeinated Book Reviewer. Huge thanks to all the publishers who sent books my way! I had some lovely surprises come in the last few weeks, so […]
As if I don’t already have enough memes I’m participating in, I just HAD to join in the Little Red Reviewer’s new feature, Five for Friday! Here are the “rules”: Welcome to a new-ish feature here at Little Red Reviewer, called Five for Friday. The concept is simple—it’s a Friday, and I post a photo […]

The nitty-gritty: Book two in The Risen Kingdom series shines just as brightly as the first. If you love amazing world-building, daring adventure and sparkling, witty characters, you simply must read this series. The second book in Curtis Craddock’s delightful fantasy series started slow for me, I have to admit. It took me a good […]
A few notes about how I’m going to review this series. There are ten episodes, and my plan is to put a review up each Wednesday as they become available. I’ve never done this before, so let’s see how it goes! Also, I won’t be giving star ratings to the individual episodes, but I will […]
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 […]
The nitty-gritty: Bad, clichéd writing, cheesy and dramatic dialog, and distasteful elements that don’t work with the rest of the story make this a book I cannot recommend to anyone. I could sum up my thoughts on this book in five words if I really wanted to—The Dysasters was a disaster—but I’m in a ranty […]
The nitty-gritty: An exhilarating, character-driven debut that touches on such themes as mental illness, the tenuousness of life and death, and the power of true belief. If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling beyond the stars, Do You Dream of Terra-Two? is a must read. It left me breathless. It occurred to Astrid, in a disembodied […]
