The nitty-gritty: A wonderful mixed bag of 80s nostalgia, creepy horror and a friendship that weathers all sorts of obstacles. “Promise me you’ll always be my friend,” she said. “DBNQ,” Abby replied. It was their shorthand for “I love you.” Dearly But Not Queerly. And they lay there on the freezing sand and felt the […]

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 just stumbled upon this book, and was immediately hooked by the comparisons to Station Eleven and The Martian: A debut novel set at the edges of civilization: […]
A few years ago, I had the pleasure of reading the first two books in J.D. Horn’s Witching Savannah series (The Line and The Source), and really enjoyed them. Too many review commitments prevented me from getting to the third book, but I was super excited when a publicist contacted me about featuring J.D.’s latest […]

Welcome to Over-Booked, where I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves and the Sunday Post and sharing my latest and greatest! In sad blogging news this week, in case you didn’t hear, two wonderful SFF blogs are shutting down. The amazing SF Signal, which has been going strong for over twelve years (!!) and My […]
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 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 […]
