Right, so just to get this out of the way, I am not a Kylo fangirl. He's interesting in that way any villain is but I am not someone who loves him or tags him as my favorite character. But this comic arc - wow guys. I recommend this if you're a fan of canon... Continue Reading →
February Wrap-up Pt 1
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 →
Thoughts: Turning Darkness Into Light by Marie Brennan
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 →
Thoughts: Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal
    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 →
Series Thoughts: Fruits Basket
    Everyone should be impressed - I have managed to finish a series. This is unusual for me, especially during such a stressful time as the past 4 months have been. I got lucky and was able to get most of the series through my library and the last 5 volumes my friend let me borrow... Continue Reading →
Series Thoughts: Steeple #1-5
  Giant Days is by far my favorite comic book series that I’ve kept up. Even when cutting my book budget down to the minimum I saved the money for each volume that came out. So when I spied a new John Allison series starting I jumped on board without even looking at the... Continue Reading →
February Haul/Unhaul
This has been a slow month. I had a baby on the 27th of January so I haven't been out of the house much or done much shopping. I've also read a lot of things on Kindle as opposed to any of my physical books so that's limited my intake as well. But let's see... Continue Reading →
Thoughts : The Epic Crush of Genie Lo by F.C. Yee
I'm sure the title of this one was meant to be a double meaning sort of thing. "Haha, look, she has a crush on someone who is epic and also she can crush things in an epic fashion!" But I 100% think that missed it's mark. I remember hearing about this originally and thinking -... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Exit Strategy by Martha Wells
I'm terrible at keeping up with series. Unless they're a comic series where it's a fast read you can bet I hardly ever do finish it. I am more than happy to admit that's because I don't want to be disappointed by follow up books. If I enjoy a story I don't want to read... Continue Reading →
Sample Saturday: February
It is Sample Saturday again, where I reading 6 different samples to see if I want to skip them, buy them, or check them out of the library. This time we have some climate sci-fi, some humorous sci-fi, and several different flavors of fantasy to try on! I did these in sets of three this... Continue Reading →
