Why I Love Rin Chupeco’s Writing
Sometimes I blog about writing (most of the time), but every once in a while, I like to ramble about what I’ve been reading. Last fall, right around Halloween, I read The Bone Witch. If you are familiar with the series, you know it’s by Rin Chupeco. Since reading that book, I’ve read many Continue reading

Authors I’m in Love With…
I want to take a few minutes to write about a few authors I’m currently in love with. I read a lot, and I go through periods where I read some authors or genres more than others. There are some authors that I gravitate towards again and again. Here are a few I recommend: Christina Continue reading

A Peculiar Peril: Book Review
I’m going to do something that I don’t do very often… review a book. I personally am not a fan of book reviews. They are either rave reviews or really hateful. You rarely find anything in between. So, as a reader and writer, I kind of ignore them. Additionally, I pretty much like something about Continue reading

Book review: Altered Carbon
It’s time for my mid-month (or slightly later in this case) check-in. I am working on several projects this month. I am writing the short story of the month, prepping for “Writing Camp” in July which I am doing with one of my sisters, so I am super excited, and I am starting a letter Continue reading

4 Book Review of Hannibal Lecter Series
Last month, I read all four of the Hannibal Lecter series by Thomas Harris. I admit that I have seen most of the movies before I read the books, and recently, I watched the first season of the show Hannibal. The reason I decided to read these is that I was wondering why Hannibal is Continue reading

Review of the Nebula Awards Showase 2013
Every year I try to read the Nebula Awards Showcase anthology. If you don’t know, the Nebula Awards are given for Science-Fiction and Fantasy Writing. I look forward to the collection every year. And last year, I started ordering the older copies from Abebooks.com. (I love that site). I almost have every year now. Anyway, Continue reading

The Bone People by Keri Hulme
Booker Prize Winner in 1985 I have mixed feelings about this book but I will get into that in a second. I also have to confess that because I hadn’t heard of the book before my sister gave it to me, I looked it up and read some short reviews on goodreads.com. I found the Continue reading

Review of Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper
1st book of The Dark is Rising Series I have wanted to read this series ever since I saw the movie The Seeker. I thought the movie was okay, but I could tell while I was watching it that there was a lot of something left out. The script of the movie seemed very incomplete Continue reading

Double Review: Jhereg and Yendi by Steven Brust
This review is going to cover the first two books of the Vlad Taltos series. I picked these books up because my brother in law always raves about them. I think these might be some of his favorite fantasy books, and now that I’ve read two of them, I get why. I can’t tell you Continue reading
