Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where each week bloggers are given a new top ten topic to blog about. This week’s topic came at just the right time. Having just returned from Comic Con, I was lucky enough to acquire a good number of new books, and I got […]
The nitty-gritty: A fast paced, frenetic story of alien invasion written as only Ernest Cline can write it, with plenty of video game action for gamers and sci-fi movie references for everyone else. As we ascended, my internal monologue went something like this: That isn’t some guy cosplaying at SobruCon IV, Zack. To me, he […]
I just got back from San Diego Comic Con and it was exhausting and wonderful and surprising, just like always. I’ll be doing a recap post later in the week, but I did want to let you know that I’m waaay behind on selecting giveaway winners for some of my recent giveaways, so stay tuned […]
The nitty-gritty: A very funny, entertaining and heartfelt accounting of the origins of small press publisher Apex Books, told by the man who started it all. You have to be careful at conventions. There are these things called room parties. Perhaps they would be better named Free Alcohol Refreshment Stations. You walk into a […]
I’m thrilled to be part of the Darkhaven blog tour, and on my stop today I’m interviewing author A.F.E. Smith! Please welcome A.F.E. Smith to Books, Bones & Buffy! BB&B: Let’s start with something easy. Please give us a short synopsis of Darkhaven. AFES: I describe Darkhaven as a fantasy murder mystery, though really the mystery […]

I’m so happy to have him on the blog today answering some of my questions about the book and his writing practices. Please welcome Eli to Books, Bones & Buffy! BB&B: To start with, can you give […]
The nitty-gritty: An atmospheric and violent tale of alien invasion, where the human characters steal the show. Adaora went into her lab. As she descended the stairs, she could practically feel it. Yes, people had been down here. The broken lock made that clear. As soon as she’d turned on the lights, she turned them […]

First of all, Happy Independence Day to all my American friends! Welcome to Over-Booked, where I share my latest book acquisitions. I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves over at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. I know I did an Over-Booked last week, but next Saturday I’ll be at Comic Con, so […]
A week from today I’ll be deep in the costumed crowds of San Diego Comic Con! If you love fantasy, science fiction and horror like I do, then Comic Con is the BEA of the speculative fiction world. Many people think of Comic Con as a place to break out your cosplay outfits, get up […]

Each week, Nathan picks a new subject. This week’s topic, in honor of […]
