I've been trying to get a book review up each week, and this week I don't have one. My reading picked up when I lost my job, and has ebbed now that I have other things chewing up my time. But I've been thinking about the books I choose to review, and what I say … Continue reading About My Reviews

Speaking of not launching into trilogies... This appears to be another trilogy that I was handed and intended to like without having read anything by the author before. Now, that being said: I have spent most of my life listening to the people around me tell me how wonderful Mercedes Lackey is. My best friend … Continue reading Book Review – The Black Gryphon
I try not to launch myself into trilogies on only the advice of friends. However, since I was handing off a trilogy to my good friend Cat to read, I could scarcely tell her no when asked to read one for her. Granted, I'm going to end up breaking the books up a bit (I … Continue reading Book Review – The Ill-Made Mute
I got a chance through NetGalley to read the newest release of Janet Evanovich's, The Chase, in return for an honest review. I noted later that it wasn't strictly written by Evanovich, but co-authored by Lee Goldberg. I wasn't concerned. Several years ago, I had started reading Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels and had been quite … Continue reading Book Review – The Chase
Despite having heard of the book The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, I did not recognize Ann Brashares' name as the author when presented with the opportunity to review The Here and Now. I am an avid fan of Young Adult fiction, and the premise seemed interesting. I am a little wary of YA novels … Continue reading Book Review – The Here and Now

Not having any I'd frequented back home, I was intrigued by the concept—and of course, more than willing to look around for new books. Now, as many of my … Continue reading Book Review – Slaughterhouse Five
Well, I thought I'd already written this review, but I suppose I haven't. I really ought to, before the next book in the series comes out and I become even further behind. And besides, it's the sequel to the book that really got my teeth sunk into this author's work, so why shouldn't I pay … Continue reading Book Review – Mindline
In my ongoing quest to read everything M.C.A. Hogarth has written about the Eldritch, the last in my most recent spree was Even the Wingless. Having struck up by this point a conversation about my interest with the author on Twitter, she warned me that this particular book was going to be darker than the … Continue reading Review: Even the Wingless
Two reviews in one, this time around – because they're related and both short. The Case of the Poisoned House and Other Xenopsychiatric Studies (e-book only) A perfect way to keep your readers in touch with your characters. Despite the fact that the book came out well before Mindtouch was written or published, I read these … Continue reading Reviews: Case of the Poisoned House and Family by M.C.A. Hogarth
This is the fourth in a four-part series where you get to see the reviews I sent my MFA mentor during my second semester. I have chosen not to go through an edit the reviews in any way, despite the fact that I am posting these after I’ve received feedback from my mentor. So you’ll … Continue reading Book Review – The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner
