The nitty-gritty: An unexpectedly entertaining and emotional story, whose prison drama and tough characters outshine the paranormal story-line. The Girl with All the Gifts was a top ten read for me a couple of years ago, and so it was with great anticipation that I started M.R. Carey’s follow-up, Fellside. And while it didn’t completely blow […]
![Waiting on Wednesday [191] – WINTER OF THE GODS by Jordanna Max Brodsky](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Winter-of-the-gods.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. I recently read and loved The Immortals, and I was so excited to see the cover revealed for book two in Jordanna Max Brodsky’s series: Myth and reality […]
The nitty-gritty: An instant classic, Railhead deserves a spot up there with some of the best young adult fantasy/science fiction ever written. The train was gone, but he could still see her, striding along beside him in the sodium glow from the trackside lamps. The smell of space clung to her, rich and smoky. What […]

Welcome to Over-Booked, where I share my latest and greatest book acquisitions! I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves over at Tynga’s Reviews, and The Sunday Post at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. My resolve to request fewer review books holds strong, and even though my last book haul post was a month ago, my haul […]
It’s April??!? March seems like the lost month to me, but I’m back on track and ready for lots of great April releases. In my personal life, only two months remain in the school year, and I know they’ll go by in a heartbeat. The weather in California is simply gorgeous right now and I’m […]
The nitty-gritty: A heartbreakingly sad but wonderfully magical tale about growing up. What she wanted most didn’t need to be spoken, for they shared her hunger, her brutal, unforgiving desire: what she wanted most was a door, and the things that waited on its other side. But unlike the rest of them, she knew where […]
![Waiting on Wednesday [190] – CERTAIN DARK THINGS by Silvia Moreno-Garcia](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Certain-Dark-Things.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. I believe this cover was just revealed, and it’s absolutely stunning! I purchased a copy of Moreno-Garcia’s Signal to Noise when it came out last year, but review […]
The nitty-gritty: Another winner for Belcher, a good versus evil story that will scare and delight in equal measure. “Jimmie, if what the Pagan said is true, then the universe, at its most fundamental levels, is out of whack and is falling apart. We have to do something before it’s too late.” “Right,” Jimmie said. […]
I’m thrilled to host a giveaway for one my favorite books so far this year, All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders. It’s published by Tor Books and was released on January 26th, and thanks to Tor, I have one signed copy to give away to a U.S. only reader! The giveaway […]
The nitty-gritty: A delightful blend of fantasy, the modern-day film industry, and quirky characters that will make you smile. It was midmorning on a Monday when magic walked into my life wearing a beige Ann Taylor suit and sensible flats. I’ve been salivating over this amazing cover for months now, and I was so excited […]
