Book Reviews + More
Skyward by Brandon Sanderson This seems to have been a big hit amongst readers and I finally picked it up during an Audible sale! I'm only a couple chapters in but I like the narration and I think it'll be a fun story. Another plus is that the sequel will be out in November!
The Gameshouse by Claire North This is actually a collection of three novellas that I've been wanting to read for some time now. Now I've got them all in one place, making it easy to zip right through them. I've seen a few reviews raving about the first novella and lamenting the decline in the... Continue Reading →
Walking to Aldebaran by Adrian Tchaikovsky So, this little novella sounds creepy and awesome. I'm expecting something great since I've enjoyed so many of Adrian Tchaikovsky's other books and if it's not entirely a winner, at least it's only 140 pages! A Brightness Long Ago by Guy Gavriel Kay I CANNOT WAIT... Continue Reading →
Rotherweird by Andrew Caldecott An English town where outsiders are discouraged from visiting and secrets are practically a dime a dozen... When I was approached about a review copy of this book I did about 30 seconds of research and decided I had to have it. Rotherweird sounds darkly quirky and it appealed to my... Continue Reading →
The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton Once again I am branching out beyond the SFF genre and venturing into historical fiction.

Age of Legend by Michael J. Sullivan I'm pushing back some other books in my TBR so I can read this RIGHT NOW! Where will this book take us after the shocking events in Age of War? I don't know (well, I have a vague idea) but I can't wait to find out. ... Continue Reading →
Inspection by Josh Malerman I've been sooo curious about this book and can't wait to dive in. I'm seeing lots of 3 and 4 star reviews for this book (and several 1 and 2 stars), so I'm trying to lower my expectations just a smidge. I don't want to be TOO disappointed, you know?
Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City by K.J. Parker I requested this book because I liked the title and I have no regrets. I'm only 50 pages in as I type this but I can already tell I'm going to love this book! The main character Orhan just clicked with me and judging from... Continue Reading →
The Food Explorer by Daniel Stone What can I say? I like food and this was in the Audible 2 for 1 sale so I picked it up. I'm trying to broaden my reading selection this year and this definitely fits that criteria and sounds like one of the more interesting non-fiction biography type books... Continue Reading →
The Naturalist by Andrew Mayne This book series came highly recommended from some fellow bloggers so I decided to check out the first book. It sounds like an excellent blend of science, suspense, and mystery. This should be a prime way to break up all the fantasy I've been reading lately. Kellanved's... Continue Reading →
