A Reading Journal
A bit of a movement in independent publishing has attempted to bring different, diverse voices to fiction. It's there in traditional publishing, to mixed success, but it's gone wild in the indie world from what I have seen. This is a good example of that, to mixed success. The Dragon of Ynys by Minerva Cerridwen... Continue Reading →
I made an effort this month to fit in a lot of books I've been putting off. Partially to continue to educate myself on difficult topics and partially because I after the lackluster month of June I knew I wanted some things to make me think and feel. I really read some great books because... Continue Reading →
I had some mixed thoughts on this one. I think maybe they have even soured in the time since I finished the book. A Madness of Sunshine by Nalini Singh Source : Library eBookTL;DR : Not the strongest, lots of melodrama and tropes Thoughts: I need to go ahead and get the biggest complaint out...

So. This is not a book for everyone. Just going to open this post off with that. This is simultaneously a (at times) deeply drawn fantasy novel and a very graphic romance novel. Think Conan the Barbarian meets romance, in a setting with dinosaurs and more magic. And there were zombies at one point. It... Continue Reading →
  The second half of April was just slow. I read quite a few graphic novels but the novel reading slowed down. For a few weeks in there I didn’t have a dedicated eReader, which honestly bummed me out (till my hubby treated me to a new one) and I just didn’t have a lot of... Continue Reading →
  April has not been a very successful month (for me) as far as reading goes. There is unfortunately a lot going on right now and I ran into a couple of road blocks along the way that really threw me off. But this sort of thing happens, and we just keep moving.   So... Continue Reading →
We're swerving way out of my usual range with this one. You know those books you immediately think 'That's not for me' but every one goes on and on? Eventually you break and try it? That was this one for me and boy howdy did I have a strong reaction. Daisy Jones and the Six... Continue Reading →
The first full month with my daughter was a learning experience. We had to find our new normal - for the time being, till I return to work - and heal up. I swear those first two weeks of her being home were the hardest thing I've ever done (including childbirth), but we're starting to... Continue Reading →
My reading is restricted these days almost exclusively to my Kindle. So I'm not being too picky when it comes to things that look interesting - and are on sale. Turning Darkness Into Light by Marie Brennan is the start of a series that follows up the Natural History of Dragons series she completed a... Continue Reading →
    This has been on my TBR for ages. I love Jane Austen - no surprise there, I think a great deal of bookish readers my age do, and I love magic so combine those two flavors and you have a winner. I unfortunately never managed to get my hands on a copy so while feeding... Continue Reading →
