SKYFARER – Joseph Brassey
Joseph Brassey’s Skyfarer is a delightful throwback to science fantasy of the 1970’s and 80’s. Aimee de Laurent is fresh out of the academy where she has studied wizardry (wizarding?). She is now apprentice to one of the best teachers in the entire galaxy, Harkon Bright, and they are about to head out on a… Continue reading

THE COMPLETE SOOKIE STACKHOUSE STORIES – Charlaine Harris
I tend to forget how much I enjoy reading Charlaine Harris until I start another one of her books. This collection of short stories featuring everyone’s favorite mind-reading waitress gives us a number of short bursts of Harris’ energetic writing with a few more glimpses into the lives of those in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Like… Continue reading

MASK OF SHADOWS – Linsey Miller
If you’re reading a book and you read only in the morning but when you go to bed at night you are thinking about the characters in that book, and wondering what is about to happen next, you probably really like that book. If you’re reading a book and you tend to always read that… Continue reading

THE GIRL IN THE GREEN SILK GOWN – Seanan McGuire
Seanan McGuire, that talented and productive author, treats us to another installment in Ghost Roads series with The Girl in the Green Silk Gown. Rose Marshall is dead. She’s a ghost – a hitch-hiking ghost to be more precise – and she wanders the highways, catching rides with the living in order to help them… Continue reading

WILLFUL CHILD – Steven Erikson
I requested this book four years ago and over time I’ve forgotten what it might have been about so I began to read this ‘blind’. Lately I’ve also been interested in reading some humorous fiction, so imagine my delight to begin reading and discovering that this isn’t just a humorous story, it’s a parody that… Continue reading

JUDGE ANDERSON: YEAR ONE – Alec Worley
Is it strange to request a book based on a comic that I’ve never read? I’ve also never seen any Judge Dredd movies. But I am aware of the concept and as a science fiction story I was very interested in reading this. The idea of a ‘judge’ with telepathic abilities is really intriguing to… Continue reading

KILLING IS MY BUSINESS – Adam Christopher
I love this series. I recently reviewed an anthology of humorous sci-fi novellas and I mentioned that I had been in the mood for some good, fun, and funny sci-fi. That anthology did NOT do the trick, but the Ray Electromatic Mystery series works wonderfully. Raymond Electromatic is a robot. He is the last working… Continue reading

PEW! PEW! – SEX! GUNS! SPACESHIPS! …OH MY! – anthology
According to the Goodreads description of this book it is “9 Comedic space opera tales of big spaceships, poor life decisions, and lots of Pew!” I can’t disagree with any of that. There are, in fact, nine novellas/novelettes included here. There are some big spaceships, and most of the characters make some poor life decisions.… Continue reading

SPARROW HILL ROAD – Seanan McGuire
Is there anything that Seanan McGuire can’t write, and write well? Sparrow Hill Road begins McGuire’s take on ghosts. There are legends of ghosts all over the country: The Girl in the Diner; The Phantom Prom Date; The Girl in the Green Silk Gown. Though the stories have deviated and changed from the original tellings,… Continue reading

HEROINE’S JOURNEY – Sarah Kuhn
With this book I have now read the Heroine’s Complex trilogy. I’ve had real mixed feelings about the previous two books (you can search for my reviews on my blog) but I am so happy to note that this is the strongest book of the series (and it will be a continuing series, according to… Continue reading

A MAN OF SHADOWS – Jeff Noon
The one sentence, attention-getting note on Goodreads before the book description reads: “The brilliant, mind-bending return to science fiction by one of its most acclaimed visionaries.” Now I can’t say that I’ve read anything by Jeff Noon before this, so I can’t speak to this being a ‘return’ to science fiction or his being a… Continue reading

THE RAVEN BOYS – Maggie Stiefvater
Although I mostly read ARCs (Advance Reading Copy) these days, I’ve noticed that too often I come into a book series halfway through and I don’t enjoy the book quite as much because I’m not already familiar with the characters. When I think ahead enough, I will do a little research on my ARCs and… Continue reading
