The nitty-gritty: More stunning world-building, the return of some beloved characters, and even greater mysteries. The Fifth Season was one of my top ten books of 2015, and so I was beyond excited to start reading the second book in the series, The Obelisk Gate. I’m happy to say it was a more than worthy […]

Over-Booked is my every-other-week or so post to share the books I’ve been getting for review, purchased or won. I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. I’ve been pretty successful at backing off on the book requests, especially on NetGalley and Edelweiss, so […]

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. Hot on the heals of Nnedi Okorafor’s Hugo Award win for her novella Binti, I was so excited to see that there will be a sequel! Binti was […]
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where every week bloggers are given a top ten theme to blog about! I thought it would be interesting to check my bookshelves and find some books that have been sitting there for YEARS, still unread. How sad is that?? But maybe this post […]
The nitty-gritty: A beautifully written and powerful story about death and the inescapable bonds of family. Most things in life change gradually. Events creep up on you from behind just like the language. You barely notice the beginnings; it’s only when things go terribly wrong that we wipe the sleep from our eyes and wail […]
The nitty-gritty: A hilarious romp through the weird world of a Lovecraft convention, narrated by a murder victim and full of strange characters. The crowd drank with an intensity that only comes with the combination of free alcohol, unsuccessful writers, and high stress. Colleen took sips, and the booze flooded her veins. Raul, as it […]
So last month I attended San Diego Comic Con, the world’s largest pop culture convention, and I brought some special things back just for YOU. First, apologies to my international readers, because this giveaway is only for U.S. residents only, due to shipping charges. I’ve assembled a bunch of books, comics, samplers, bags, buttons and […]

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. I seem to be stuck in a veritable avalanche of Lovecraft-inspired books! I just finished one, I recently reviewed one, and now I’m highlighting yet another this week! […]

Over-Booked is my book haul post, where I share my recent book acquisitions with you every couple of week or so. I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. Even though I’m so far behind with review books, I just can’t seem to stop […]
The nitty-gritty: Weird and atmospheric, this short novella will mesmerize some readers, but may be just too strange for others. Her mouth split in a smile, the first expression he’d seen of her other than intent study. She stopped pacing, hands resting on her hips. There was no moon, but Jackson would have sworn (and […]
