The nitty-gritty: An original world-building idea that just didn’t get off the ground for me. Perhaps a novel might work better? I was excited to check out a shorter piece of fiction by Fran Wilde, whose Updraft I really enjoyed, and so when Tor.com announced The Jewel and her Lapidary, I jumped at the chance […]
![Waiting on Wednesday [195] – FAITHFUL by Alice Hoffman](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Faithful.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 changed my mind at the last minute for today’s WoW pick! I had something else planned, but then I came across Alice Hoffman’s new book and just […]
I’m very happy to welcome Geoffrey Girard back to Books, Bones & Buffy! I was lucky enough to chat with him a couple of years ago, and now he’s here answering a completely different set of questions. Geoffrey’s latest is his debut short story collection, out now from Apex Books, called first communions (and yes, […]
Welcome to What’s on my Plate, a post I write each month to let you know (and to remind myself!) what books I’ll be reading, as well as other posts I have planned. April went by in a flash, right? I did pretty well with my April review books, but there are a few I […]
The nitty-gritty: Potential not quite realized, but a fantastic premise full of hilarious dialogue and some hard-hitting emotional moments near the end. And once again a cool cover and a really good idea grab my attention and I immediately hit that “request” button! Down with the Shine does have a great concept: a girl is […]
The nitty-gritty: A bunch of stories that will make you very uncomfortable. And that’s a good thing! God watches as you bring another into the room. He does not take his eyes off you. Sits in his LifeChair exactly where you parked him two days before. White beard and tubes. His cartridge core throbs, like […]
![Waiting on Wednesday [194] – CLOUDBOUND by Fran Wilde](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Cloudbound.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. Fran Wilde’s debut Updraft was a unique fantasy about a society of people living above-ground in the clouds, and book two comes out this fall! After the dust […]
The nitty-gritty: A lush and romantic story of palace intrigue, with a supernatural subplot that adds a sense of danger to the tale. The gorgeous colors on this cover initially attracted me to Masks and Shadows, like a bee to a beautiful flower, but I was happy to find an exciting story behind the cover […]
![Over-Booked [47] – A Book Haul Post](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/over-booked.jpg?resize=200%2C200)
Welcome to Over-Booked, where I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. I’m happy to share my most recent book acquisitions! Hopefully you’ll find something here that interests you:-) Oh so many cool books to share this week! Some requests came in, and I […]
The nitty-gritty: A short tale that’s packed with action, humor, and some old favorite characters. I fell in love with Wesley Chu’s Tao series, which ended last year with The Deaths of Tao, and so I was thrilled to discover he was writing a novella set in the same universe. The Days of Tao is […]
