I love Seanan's short fiction, sometimes I have to be in a mood for her longer stuff just due to the denser style she can have in that format, but her short fiction is almost always a win for me. So I'm not sure why I was surprised I loved this collection as much as... Continue Reading →
January Wrap-up Part 1
   I’m going to have to break this into two parts. I had no idea I’d read as many books as I had till half way through the month.    The books I read and reviewed/have reviews upcoming I’ll list here first, to help shorten this: Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by... Continue Reading →
Retro SF Thoughts : City by Clifford D. Simak
Retro Science Fiction and Fantasy has been a genre I’ve avoided since my teens. I read buckets of it as a young kid, it was all that was available to me in the library and so naturally I ate it like candy at the time. As I got older I got into the groove of... Continue Reading →

Three Graphic Novel Reads
I'm not much of a graphic novel reader in all honesty. It takes a lot for me to buy one, simply because I read them so quickly that they never seem worth the money for me. At one time in my life I the DC and Marvel comics as they came out, single issue. Unfortunately... Continue Reading →

Mystery Time! A Buzzy Book Wrap-Up
Let's talk about a super hyped thriller and a new release that I may or may not have cheated and skipped 12 books to read?    Sometimes I read books by celebrities and I just shrug, sometimes I laugh and wonder how much they paid to get this published, and sometimes I read it... Continue Reading →
Double Mystery Time! Unintentional Themes of Children abound!
It’s mystery time! I’ve been doing pretty good on my whole ‘read more mysteries’ thing that I started last year. I will admit I’m keeping pretty much in the same lane with slightly cozy, well known series. I am really enjoying this though so I feel no shame. I also try to keep them as... Continue Reading →
