Wyrd & Wonder is headed into the final stretch, but before it’s over, I wanted to shine a light on the best fantasy books I’ve read so far this year. This is a mix of five and four-and-a-half star reads, and even though we’re not even halfway through 2020, I can already tell that the […]
You may have already heard the buzz for Christopher Paolini’s adult debut, To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, coming from Tor Books this September, and if you’ve been wondering whether it’s your kind of book, then I’m happy to present the first part of a special excerpt today!

The nitty-gritty: Gear does it again with another thrilling entry into his wonderful Donovan series. I love writers who are able to sustain long series by improving upon each book they write. Such is the case with W. Michael Gear’s Donovan series, I’m happy to report. Unreconciled, the latest edition in Gear’s action-packed science fiction […]
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 I have literally nothing new to report, other than the fact that my daughter flies back to Boston today.

I’m afraid this book just didn’t work for me at all, which is a shame because I loved the idea and I was looking forward to reading something from Jeffrey Ford.
