I’ve always considered reading a solitary pursuit, and have been happy to hole up in a convenient corner to while away the hours. But in the past year or so, I’ve found a wonderful group of fellow bibliophiles on … Twitter! So when @bookaliciouspam tweeted (or blogged… or something) recently about reading challenges she’s participating … Book Challenge – 100 Books in a Year
Because Zoe Winters was generous enough to allow G L Drummond to guest post on her site during her blog tour last month, I got curious about what she wrote, and read a number of her blog entries. Sufficiently piqued, I was thus drawn into her series “Preturnaturals”–this first installment of which was actually the … Review: Blood Lust
I discovered Ilona Andrews about a year ago based on an online bookstore “you might also like” reference. I quickly chowed through their Kate Daniels series and am anxiously awaiting the release of “Magic Slays” any day now (it’s been on my wish list at Amazon since last December and I really can’t wait to … Review: Bayou Moon
Through a series of blog posts yesterday (the first by Kait Nolan about character arc development issues, and the second by Susan Bischoff on Young Adult romantic fantasy that is non-Twilight-like) I fell into a new author: Melissa Marr.

Since we … Author Interview – G L Drummond
I know I’ve already posted a review for the latest in the series (see River Marked), but with the release of that latest installment – and with the need for a temporary retreat from some of life’s inevitable disappointments – I was recently inspired to reread the whole series again. I do that pretty regularly … Mercy Thompson series – review
I’ve been anxiously awaiting this latest installment in Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series for several months, so actually surprised myself by waiting for a few hours after its delivery before actually delving into my new treat. (And I give you fair warning: I’m a FULL-ON Mercy Thompson fan; I have all the books, including the … River Marked
I read this Sunday as part of my ongoing search for new authors; I’d found it staring out of the shelves of a local Borders, and since I’m a sucker for any story revolving around a psychic link/bond between a human and an animal, I had high expectations. I’m not sure if it was because … Path of Fate
I learned in a rather unconventional way this afternoon that my position had been eliminated. Thus, a four-year association ends. So my focus here is going to shift for a bit to reflect my job search. That said, I’m hopeful that the work I’ve invested and experience I’ve built up over the past few years … Re-orged… out
