I got myself in over my head this week… I’ve never reviewed erotica before, and hadn’t planned on ever doing so. However, one of the women who did me an early review favor for Dust to Blood contacted me to ask if I’d support her new release. Without asking further details, I offered to return … Book Review: Blue Moon Rising
Based on an invitation I received via GoodReads, I decided to join a Blog Hop describing what it is I look for in a review–and what it is I try to include in my own reviews–even though this represents a bonus post for this week. 😉 If you read the results from the poll that … What Do You Look for in a Review?
This is the week of Jennifer James. 😉 As I mentioned Friday, she’s the founder of the crit group I belong to, and has given some very useful feedback to me on my writing, so I’m happy to return the favor and help her while she faces the madness of releasing two books in the … Book Review: Love Kinection
Tracey contacted me via this blog to request a review and her blurb so captured my attention I had to check out her blog. When I saw the whole “Body of a Geek Goddess” moniker, I had to interview her, too. Of course, now it’s been a few weeks and I’ve been dawdling about actually … Book Review: Dark Dates
I waited anxiously for the final book of the Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger to be released, and then made myself wait a little longer to actually buy it until my book budget was available and my time budget opened a sliver. Carriger has created such a unique voice with this series I almost … Book Review: Timeless
Because I follow @lianabrooks on Twitter, I had seen her cover development efforts for Fey Lights and happened to catch her request for ARC readers. Since I enjoyed Even Villains Fall in Love and her blog, I signed up. The title caught my eye, and I wondered whether she was going to do something with … Book Review: Fey Lights
This was another bargain bin book from Barnes & Noble a year or two ago; I hadn’t ever heard of Louise Marley before seeing this hardcover. The image was intriguing, and the fly-leaf description caught my attention: A priest of the Order of Mary Magdalene and a skilled anthropologist, Isabel Burke has been called offworld … Book Review: The Child Goddess
As you will have guessed from my “lazy” posts earlier this week, I’m participating in Novel Publicity’s promotional tour for Frederick Lee Brooke’s latest book, Zombie Candy. I wasn’t entirely sure I wanted to read the thing, since I’m decidedly not a zombie fan–I don’t like gore in any format. But I’m also a sucker … Book Review: Zombie Candy
This morning’s news that Ray Bradbury had passed away put me in something of a contemplative state all day. So rather than taking advantage of an evening home, alone, to try to catch up on my Camp NaNoWriMo effort (already dreadfully behind), I picked up a book that reflected both my melancholy at losing a … Book Review: The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
My experience with Mercedes Lackey’s books has been uneven over the years, so I’ve typically been reluctant to try a new series of hers without some kind of recommendation. In this case, it was a leap of faith, since it is a retelling of the Swan Lake story and I thought it was an extension … Book Review: The Black Swan
