The nitty-gritty: Like all the best fairy tales, this story is both magical and foreboding, a cautionary tale of the pitfalls of gender stereotyping, told as only Seanan McGuire can. Just as she did in Every Heart a Doorway, Seanan McGuire captures a mood of nostalgia and sadness in her follow-up, Down Among the Sticks […]
The Friday Face-Off is hosted by Books by Proxy, where each week bloggers can showcase books with covers centered around a weekly theme. This is my first time participating! I thought I’d try something different, and since I LOVE book covers, what better chance to do some digging on the internet and find books that […]

Waiting on Wednesday is the brainchild of Breaking the Spine, although Jill isn’t hosting this meme anymore. In any case, I will continue to post Waiting on Wednesdays, simply because it’s one of my favorite posts to do each week:-D I was so excited to discover this book last week, when several bloggers listed it […]
The nitty-gritty: A powerful collection of loosely tied together stories of the women who fell in love with superheroes—and died because of it. I never wanted children.

The nitty-gritty: A high-octane adventure tale in space, populated by some of the craziest characters you’ll ever meet. Well, this is probably the strangest, wackiest story I’ve ever read, and that’s saying something. Being a lover of speculative fiction, “strange” is the norm and I’ve definitely read my share. Mary Turzillo takes strange to a whole […]
It’s June you guys! Which means long, hot days full of books, right? I’ve finally started to get my blogging mojo back, although it’s weird, I feel like I’m recovering from some big life change, or something. I’m not sure I would recommend taking too much time off blogging, because I discovered that I actually […]
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 can’t remember the last time I posted a top ten list! So in my attempt to get my head back in blogging, I knew this week’s theme would be an […]
The nitty-gritty: A fascinating taste of alternate history involving hippos, full of grit, danger, romance and plenty of humor. And teeth, plenty of teeth. Readers have been buzzing about this novella for months, and I was so excited to finally sit down and read it. What fun this was! Sarah Gailey has created something unique: […]
Yes, I’m back! What better way to end my lack of book reviews than with a 5-star book?! The nitty-gritty: Scary, thrilling and full of heart and emotion, this is another winner from M.R. Carey. I fell hard for The Girl with All the Gifts a few years ago, and so I was beyond excited […]
