The nitty-gritty: I wanted the gothic creepiness of What Moves the Dead, but instead this sequel lacked the elements that made the first book so good. “This isn’t just a dream, though. It’s the war.” I absolutely loved What Moves the Dead last year, and I was honestly surprised to see Kingfisher had written a […]
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 going rogue and posting a different list this week for Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reading Girl. Today I’m sharing ten “new to me” authors I hope to read this year. And for each author, I’ve listed their 2024 release, all books on my TBR that I’d love to read. I have […]
The nitty-gritty: Magic, art forgery and heists make up the plot of Gwenda Bond’s latest, a fun mash-up with mixed results. I ended up having a lot of fun with The Frame-Up, despite a few issues with pacing and some of the world building elements. Gwenda Bond has written a magical heist story with a […]
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:-D We have extreme storms coming to California this week, and I’m sure in other parts of the U.S. as well. I’m writing this […]
Welcome to February, otherwise known as the busiest month in SFF publishing, lol. There are a TON of new releases this month, and I’ll be reading only a fraction of them. If I had more time I’d read a bunch that aren’t on this list, but I’ve had to pick and choose, and even then […]
January flew by for me, how about you? I posted ten reviews this month, and I’m very proud of that number:-) It was month with ratings all over the place, but overall I’m pretty happy with the books I read. I also read my first TBR Jar Challenge book (which ended up in the #1 […]

I’m linking up with Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday 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! Every year I make it a point to read books by authors I “should have” already read, and […]
The nitty-gritty: A man gets more than he bargained for when he decides to go after his fiancé in this strange, compelling but uneven sci-fi tale. This was an odd one, folks. The tagline on the cover promises a sci-fi thriller, but “thriller” is not a word I would use to describe The Sanctuary. That’s […]
