I was offered The Calculating Stars as an audio to review by Audible and was very excited to hear it. In my mind, it was science fiction but in reality it is combined with historical fiction. The story centers around a couple of the Jewish faith, in the 1950s. They both work for the government. […]
I saw this as an audible daily deal, thought it sounded good, and went right to the library to request it. Time passed and by the time I started listening I didn’t remember what it was. So I was happy to discover The Wolves of Winter is amazing. The setting is in Canada, the Yukon, […]
Today’s friend is Carole from Carole’s Random Life in Books. I’ve gotten to know her a bit after reading Sunday posts the last few months. She always is reading something I feel like I want to go read now; her reviews are that good. She also helped steer me in the right direction when […]
Karen White, the narrator, brought this audio to my attention. I’m glad she did because the author was new to me, and this was fun. Although, some of the sexy banter or sex terminology made me blush or cringe. Parker is the oldest and has all younger brothers. She comes from a geeky nerd background […]
I can’t believe I’m on my last Jig story. This has been a really fun fantasy series. It follows Jig the goblin, who is a runt and half blind. He isn’t looked highly upon by his fellow goblins. Jig has learned how to hide and to be cunning it when it comes to dealing with […]
I didn’t even read the blurb before requesting this one. I just knew from the cover and title, Stars Uncharted, it was science fiction / space opera by an author I love. This was as enjoyable as their other books I have read. We see the world mainly through the eyes of two strong, talented […]
You know what more books need…More sentient inanimate objects. Some of my favorite things in some of the other fantasies I’ve read have been things like Nightblood, the sentient sword in the Cosmere series of Brandon Sanderson. Beauty and the Beast had an entire castle full of sentient everyday items – that was awesome. So […]
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. There are SIX giveaways on the right sidebar, although one ends today. I am also […]
This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre. The genre here, by my definition, is space opera which is a sub-genre to science fiction. It’s always hard to narrow down to favorites. I’m sure I am forgetting some […]
There are so many things to love about Penny Reid’s Winston Brothers series. Each book is a gateway into the heart and mind of another sibling and their love interest. Dr. Strange Beard has chapters alternating between Roscoe and Simone. Before now, we don’t know much at all about either character. Another hallmark of this […]
