Ghosts and Halloween are nothing to fear, but what about another holiday cheer?

The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt by Riel Nason and Byron Eggenschwiler

The Little Ghost Quilt's Winter Surprise by Riel Nason and Byron Eggenschwiler

January 8, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

In 2020 The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt was published. And according to its publisher description, it became an instant Halloween classic. In July 2025 a new gift edition will be published. I am not sure how this differs from the original as I read this as an online reader copy. But regardless of the extras it might have, it will still be the same sweet book about being yourself and the adventures you will have because of it.  The story is sweet and […]

The book, "The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook" by Matt Dinniman is standing behind an assortment of miniature figures used in roleplaying games like Dungeons and Dragons.

If you like wildly imaginative and clever sci-fantasy this series is the one for you

The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook by Matt Dinniman

January 8, 2025 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook is the third book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Review for book one Dungeon Crawler Carl Review for book two Carl’s Doomsday Scenario Carl and Princess Donut have descended to the fourth level of the dungeon and into the Iron Tangle.  An entire level that exists exclusively in subways but has trains of all types from steam engines to monorails.  There is no map, there are colored lines (yes, zomp actually is a color) and named lines (like the Nightmare Express), trains […]

A champion, mimic and sorceress beat some bad guys and might have saved the world

Sword of the Champion by Eric Lide

January 8, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have no idea when I started the online reader copy of Sword of the Champion by Eric Lide. I do know that it was sometime in early to mid 2024 as I saw I might not want to start it as it was such a future publication. So I put it aside and promptly forgot about it. (Sorry!) However, I was smart enough to know I needed to save as many links as possible to it. I am not sure why, but thankfully I […]

Building bridges

The Paper Bridge by Joelle Veyrenc and Seng Soun Ratanavanh

January 8, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

One morning I opened my emails to find a Floris Books email saying I was a winner from the Grabbing a Galley from the Publishers Weekly campaign and there was an online link that was in the email. It hadn’t been that long since I had entered, but I had forgotten the titles I had hoped for. Therefore it was Christmas and I was opening the book present I always love getting. This one was the picture book, The Paper Bridge created by Joelle Veyrenc, […]

A middling middle book

Sunbringer by Hannah Kaner

January 6, 2025 by NatalieH Leave a Comment

I read Hannah Kaner’s novel, Godkiller, about a month ago, and liked it enough to pick up second book in the Fallen Gods trilogy, Sunbringer. Godkiller told the story of Kissen, a “godkiller” in the kingdom of Middren. A few years after a war involving the gods, worship is outlawed in the kingdom. Kissen is sort of a bounty hunter, tracking down and removing problematic gods from villages. When she meets a young girl, Inara, who is inextricably linked to a small god of white […]

Some Carryovers from Last Year and Two from This Year

Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor

The Cat Who Taught Zen by James Norbury

A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow

A Mirror Mended by Alix E. Harrow

This Fatal Kiss by Alicia Jasinska

The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo

January 6, 2025 by Tracy Leave a Comment

Muse of Nightmares I was not expecting that. I was not expecting the call-backs to the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, and that was so cool. This was already a book I was loving, and that bumped it right on up to 5 stars for me. This isn’t a spin-off or sequel, so you don’t have to have read that trilogy to enjoy this one, but I loved the sense of mild continuity. Muse of Nightmares picks up where Strange the Dreamer left off. Minya […]
