Today’s friend is the Melliane from Between Dreams and Reality. I learned of her in my very earliest blogging days at Yummy Men & Kick Ass Chicks. YMKAC was a Canadian blog and its owner, Julie, also spoke French. Since Melliane’s blog also does French reviews, they interacted. So Between Dreams and […]
I have enjoyed the Starship’s Mage series from the beginning. I’ve taken an odd route, reading some, listening to others. I discovered the series when the first book, The Starship’s Mage was a kindle freebie and I was in the mood for space opera. The writing has improved as the series goes along. It has a […]
Today, I continue my review of the Starship’s Mage series. Yesterday, I reviewed the audio of the Hand of Mars. Now I will review Voice of Mars and Alien Arcana. Next week will be another review of the audio of Judgment of Mars. I continue to be pleasantly surprised by this series. In Voice […]
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. […]

I got the first book in this series as part of my first Ace Roc star package and I knew from reading the blurb I would love it. I did and I have continued to love this series. Of course, it is space opera and I’m renewing my love affair with […]

When I started listening, I shook my head at how stupid some things were but then the ridiculous worked its way into a hilarious satire. I love science fiction and space opera. However, the military is unfortunately, related to the government which is the scariest thing ever. In Mechanical […]
I got all but the newest of these books at the library as Kindle ebooks. These stories are in the world of Jack Campbell’s Lost Fleet books. They start at the point where the Alliance / Syndicate war has ended and now the governments need to refocus and rebuild their economies. This is […]
