I read the first book in the Starship’s Mage series awhile ago and always wanted to get back to the series. Starship’s Mage was surprisingly good, so I was happy I had chosen it for Thrifty Thursday feature. So when I saw Tantor releasing the audio for later in the series, I was thrilled to have more. […]
Once upon a time I stumbled, fell into World of Warcraft and didn’t climb out of playing that game almost every spare minute of my time for almost four years. I say this so you understand – this is my kind of book. I loved the idea of Warcross, a world where basically you […]
Today’s friend is the wonderful Jen from That’s What I’m Talking About. I knew of Jen back in the Twilight vampire days because of a mutual friend in Michigan but she may not know that connection. I got to know her better on Twitter and through the Fitreaders group. I enjoy her […]
Carrie Vaughn is an author I’ve always enjoyed. Her Kitty Norville series is one of the first urban fantasy ones I read. Bannerless is more science fiction dystopia than supernatural.

If you have enjoyed Jack Campbell’s other series, Lost Fleet and Beyond the Frontier, and Lost Stars, Genesis Fleet will feel familiar. The writing style, space opera and military strategy all line up with the others. Vanguard is the beginning of the world, a prequel. The politics swing from democracy […]
I loved The Admiral, the first book in the Evagardian series. It was a good introduction to the world with four people stranded who didn’t know each other. It was smart. The plot was clear – survival – but very fascinating as the world developed and also learning about the characters. The Admiral, […]
My Ace Roc Stars connection gave me the first book, Arena and I was hooked, ready and waiting. Gauntlet picks right up with the action and emotional roller coaster. It is fierce, uplifting and energizing! Kali, the warrior, is such a lovable character. She makes mistakes, totally blames herself, […]
I had no idea what to expect, so The Chemist was an awesome surprise. I loved it from beginning to end. If it were a book, it would be a page turner but since I was listening, I wanted to listen ALL THE TIME. There were so many things to […]
