The nitty-gritty: A mind-blowing presentation of an exciting space adventure, and one of the most unique books I’ve ever read! I was lucky enough to land one of the nifty hardcover ARCs of Illuminae, and that made all the difference in my reading experience. This is definitely a book you’ll want to read in physical […]

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. I stumbled upon this Saga Press title the other day, and it sounds amazing. I’m so excited to read an urban fantasy set in the roaring 20s! Check it […]
![Over-Booked [36] – 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 love to share the new books that make their way into my home, and I’d love to know if you plan on reading them too. Once again, Skyhorse Publishing has been very generous in the last […]
Bat Out of Hell was one of those books that ended up in a much different place than it started, at least for me. The story gets off to a strong start as we witness a horrific outbreak of an Ebola-like virus in Indonesia, a virus that kills 100% of people who contract it only hours […]
Happy Fall, everyone! Unfortunately for those of us in California (and no doubt other western states), Fall has yet to make an appearance. A quick check of the temps this week shows highs in the 90s! All I want is to be able to wear jeans and a hoodie, I mean really, is that too […]
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 about DIED when I saw this book cover this past week, and of course I had to feature this as my WoW pick! I absolutely loved […]
The nitty-gritty: A sprawling adventure story filled with airships, magic crystals, military maneuvers and talking cats. Yes, I said talking cats! Despite the fact that it took me two weeks to read The Aeronaut’s Windlass, I had so much fun. This was my first Jim Butcher book, and I can see why he’s so popular. […]
The nitty-gritty: A poignant and magical tale of feuding families and forbidden love, perfectly written. Embers clung to the edges, dense as a band of stars. The fabric burned and thinned. It glowed translucent, and then crumbled to ash. The thin wood of the porcelain vines released the scent of their blue berries, and the […]
The nitty-gritty: And we’re off! The story starts to take shape, we get to know the characters better. You can read my review of Badge, Book, and Candle (Bookburners #1) here. The walls of the room were hair and plaster. No. Splinters and sinew. No. The policeman didn’t know what the walls were. And, within […]
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. This week’s pick appears to be a werewolf story, and I’m pretty excited about it: In her extraordinary debut, Spells of Blood and Kin, Claire Humphrey deftly weaves […]
