Brad Abraham’s debut novel Magicians Impossible is making a splash in the SFF community, having just been published by Thomas Dunne Books, and I’m super excited to have Brad visiting today. If you missed my review, you can catch it here. He’s also kindly offering a signed copy of Magicians Impossible, so stick around for the […]

Waiting on Wednesdays is the brainchild of Jill at Breaking the Spine, and because Jill isn’t hosting it any more, I’m now linking up with Can’t Wait Wednesday at Wishful Endings. Stop over there and link up your “Can’t Wait” book of the week! I love this cover, and I’m always on the lookout for […]
Halloween is upon us! For the next few weeks, I’ve decided to highlight my most recent favorite scary tales, and this week I’m looking at vampire stories! I find my favorite vampire tales are gritty, complex and violent, and I especially love stories that bring something new to the table. These are all books I’ve […]
The nitty-gritty: Luminous and magical, The Rules of Magic is Alice Hoffman at her best. Today everything smelled earthy, the rich scent of mulch and decaying leaves and roots. It was an ending and a beginning, for the month itself was like a gate. October began as a golden hour and ended with Samhain, the […]

Waiting on Wednesdays is the brainchild of Jill at Breaking the Spine, and because Jill isn’t hosting it any more, I’m now linking up with Can’t Wait Wednesday at Wishful Endings. Stop over there and link up your “Can’t Wait” book of the week! Two things immediately grabbed my attention when I saw this book […]
Last week I reviewed David Walton’s latest, The Genius Plague (click here to read my review), and absolutely loved it! Today I’m happy to welcome David to the blog to chat more about fungi, code cracking and linguistics. And if you want to know how all those things come together in a science fiction story, […]
The nitty-gritty: A beautifully written and conceived tale of rival magicians, but with too many characters and ideas, it just seemed too big for a single volume. I have to admit it was my husband who “got” the title of this book. He took one look at the cover and said, “An Unkindness of Magicians. […]
How did it get to be October? Seriously, I wish time would slow down a little. Last weekend, we took my son to college to help him get settled into the dorm. That was such a surreal experience! I can’t believe he’s taking that first step to being on his own, and I’m thrilled that […]

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. Has it really been a month since my last Over-Booked? I haven’t been getting that many review books in the mail (thankfully! I really […]
The nitty-gritty: Hugely entertaining, this terrifying vision of what our future could be like will keep you turning pages long after bedtime. I loved David Walton’s Supersymmetry, a fast-paced scientific thriller about time travel and alternate realities, so I knew that The Genius Plague was going to be a must-read. And wow, did I have […]
