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 had fun with Waiting on Wednesday last month, posting only […]
The nitty-gritty: Another winning story in the Heartstone series, I was once again enchanted by White’s lively storytelling and wonderful world-building elements. One of my favorite things about Heartstone, the first book in White’s Pride & Prejudice fantasy retelling, was the world building. I’m a big P&P fan, but those elements are not what won […]
And here we are, the end of the year…how did this happen? It seems like just yesterday I was making reading goals for 2018 (which we won’t talk about because big fail!). But I actually like December on the blog, because I use it mostly as a “catch up” month, since I don’t usually have […]

Events, characters, places and impressions swirl around you, creating a sense of unease, or confusion, or sadness. Tidhar pieces the parts of his stories […]

The nitty-gritty: Full of dangerous magic, secret gangs and books that can conjure monsters, Matt Maxwell’s noir vision of 80s Los Angeles is an addictive treat. Well, this was a strange little book, but I enjoyed it! I had never heard of Broken Eye Books until the author got in touch with me. And when […]
The nitty-gritty: A slow-paced beginning turns into thrilling excitement at the end, which makes up for some of the more tedious sections. I’ll admit that when I first saw the cover of Breach, I thought it was science fiction. Maybe that’s why I feel like I got off on the wrong foot with this book. […]
