Well, it’s September, and summer is officially over, although it still feels like summer where I live. The kids are back in school and life outside of this blog is about to get really busy. But the next couple of months are just bursting with bookish goodness, and even though I’ve over-extended myself with review […]
Robert Brockway‘s second book in The Vicious Circuit series, The Empty Ones, just hit stores, and I was lucky enough to ask him some questions—and he actually answered them! If you haven’t started this series, and you love urban horror (there is such a thing, right?), then this series should be on your TBR list. […]
![Waiting on Wednesday [212] – THE MOTION OF PUPPETS by Keith Donohue](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/The-Motion-of-Puppets.jpg?resize=200%2C200)
Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. It’s been several years since I’ve read The Boy Who Drew Monsters, which I loved, and so I was super excited to see that Donohue has a new […]
The nitty-gritty: More stunning world-building, the return of some beloved characters, and even greater mysteries. The Fifth Season was one of my top ten books of 2015, and so I was beyond excited to start reading the second book in the series, The Obelisk Gate. I’m happy to say it was a more than worthy […]
![Over-Booked [55] – A Book Haul Post](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ob-8-27.jpg?resize=200%2C200)
Over-Booked is my every-other-week or so post to share the books I’ve been getting for review, purchased or won. I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. I’ve been pretty successful at backing off on the book requests, especially on NetGalley and Edelweiss, so […]
![Waiting on Wednesday [211] – HOME (BINTI #2) by Nnedi Okorafor](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Home.jpg?resize=200%2C200)
Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. Hot on the heals of Nnedi Okorafor’s Hugo Award win for her novella Binti, I was so excited to see that there will be a sequel! Binti was […]
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 thought it would be interesting to check my bookshelves and find some books that have been sitting there for YEARS, still unread. How sad is that?? But maybe this post […]
The nitty-gritty: A beautifully written and powerful story about death and the inescapable bonds of family. Most things in life change gradually. Events creep up on you from behind just like the language. You barely notice the beginnings; it’s only when things go terribly wrong that we wipe the sleep from our eyes and wail […]
The nitty-gritty: A hilarious romp through the weird world of a Lovecraft convention, narrated by a murder victim and full of strange characters. The crowd drank with an intensity that only comes with the combination of free alcohol, unsuccessful writers, and high stress. Colleen took sips, and the booze flooded her veins. Raul, as it […]
So last month I attended San Diego Comic Con, the world’s largest pop culture convention, and I brought some special things back just for YOU. First, apologies to my international readers, because this giveaway is only for U.S. residents only, due to shipping charges. I’ve assembled a bunch of books, comics, samplers, bags, buttons and […]
