Posted April 1, 2023 by Tammy in What's On My Plate / 29 Comments

Holy cow, it’s April already, people! 2023 is flying by, at least it seems that way. I read about half of my March TBR, which is sad, but I’ll be squeezing a lot of those missed books in this month (especially Rubicon and Moths, ugh!) In addition to those, of course I have a good […]

March 2023 – Reading Wrap-Up

March 2023 – Reading Wrap-Up
Posted March 31, 2023 by Tammy in Monthly Wrap UP / 29 Comments

March was an odd month for me. My review ratings were all over the place, and I didn’t read as much as I wanted to (but then again, when do I ever?) In my personal life, I’ve gone through a wide range of emotions about my new home. I’m dealing with serious winter conditions for […]

A HOUSE WITH GOOD BONES by T. Kingfisher – Review

A HOUSE WITH GOOD BONES by T. Kingfisher – Review
Posted March 28, 2023 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 27 Comments

The nitty-gritty: T. Kingfisher mashes together Southern gothic creepiness, a cast of unforgettable characters, and plenty of humor in A House With Good Bones, a thoroughly entertaining haunted house story. “There is probably something more awkward than the morning after you’ve found a jar of teeth and your mother has admitted she thinks she’s being […]

Posted March 27, 2023 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 18 Comments

The nitty-gritty: An excellent sequel, Hel’s Eight brings readers more of Ten Low‘s desolate and dangerous desert setting and larger than life characters, with just the right balance of action and emotion. Last year I read Stark Holborn’s Ten Low and loved it, and I’m so happy that the author decided to continue Ten’s story. […]

INFINITY GATE by M.R. Carey – Review

INFINITY GATE by M.R. Carey – Review
Posted March 20, 2023 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 30 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Epic in scope but intimate in characterization, Infinity Gate introduces a fascinating multiverse with a high stakes plot, plenty of twists and relentless pacing. M.R. Carey won my heart years ago when I read The Girl With All the Gifts, and since then his stories have never failed to impress me. And Infinity […]
