The nitty-gritty: A unique and many-layered world that left me craving more world-building details, but contained some of the coolest fantasy elements I’ve read in a long time. We had so many ways to describe different types of wind. Lifts. Crosses. Constants. Gaps. I might one day hear them all. Something low and large echoed […]
A bit of an unusual review for you today. I was approached by a publicist from 2000 AD, a British serialized comic that’s been going strong for over thirty-five years. He explained that they were publishing a limited edition book of concept art from the 2015 movie, Ex Machina. I was unfamiliar with both the movie […]

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that we’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. This week’s pick isn’t the normal sort of book I read, but I do love anything that deals with music, and I love the book’s whimsical cover: “Devil-at-the-crossroads” […]
The nitty-gritty: An atmospheric tale that has so much potential, but with too many confusing story elements, it just didn’t work for me. Rarely do I write scathing book reviews, it’s just not in my nature to completely tear down someone’s work. But in this case, I can’t help but rant about What We Knew. […]
![Over-Booked [33] – A Book Haul Post](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/over-booked-new.jpg?resize=200%2C200)
Over-Booked is my every-other-week book haul post, where I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves and The Sunday Post. I have a nice pile of new books this week, however I am falling behind with my reading schedule, due to that thing known as LIFE that sometimes gets in the way of the best laid […]
The nitty-gritty: A dark and dangerous magical world, an awesome anti-hero, stellar writing—what more do you need? My skin was covered with tattoos and scars. A lot of my ink was work related, you might say. Symbols, formulas, pacts, and wards. My scars, ah, my scars. They came from motorcycle accidents, knives, bullets, claws, broken […]
Welcome to my stop on the Clear Your Shelf Giveaway Hop, hosted by Bookhounds! As in past Clear Your Shelf hops, I’m going to only hint at the books I’m giving away, because it’s FUN. Ha ha. This box of books is quite a mixed bag, so read the clues below carefully to see if […]
Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to showcase upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. I’ve read several books lately about futuristic societies where computer implants are the norm, and I just can’t seem to get enough of this trope. So when I […]
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where each week we are given a new Top Ten theme to blog about. You know those authors: the ones you’re crazy about, the ones that make you salivate for their next book. They are the “auto-buy” authors, whose new books you don’t even […]
The nitty-gritty: An action-packed techno-thriller—a bit of a departure for Wendig—that still manages to entertain, despite some over-the-top story elements. If there’s one thing you can count on from Chuck Wendig, it’s that he’s not afraid to try out new genres. I didn’t know much about Zer0es going into it, and I wasn’t sure what […]
