Oops I did it again

December 15, 2016 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I have done this twice recently: started a series part way through by mistake. Funny thing is, it’s a similar sort of series and the mistake will probably have similar effects. The Iscariot Sanction is Book 2 of the Apollonian Casefiles series (which is apparently aka the Lazarus Gate series?). It is somewhat steampunk, somewhat secret agent adventure, and somewhat a buddy-cop style story. There are some supernatural happenings in late nineteenth century London, and a secret society connected to the government is investigating/protecting the […]

Round 2 of me reading book 2

December 6, 2016 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

Ok, here goes round 2 of me reading book 2.  I did finish it this time!  It wasn’t that long, so I’m not sure what exciting thing was happening in my life 5 years ago that I couldn’t finish it.  I guess I just wasn’t reading books to raise money for cancer back then.  Silly me! So again, there are some editing mistakes, and the writing is a little clunky.  I looked this book up on Goodreads, and man do people have things to say […]

Book 1 of the trilogy that I read book 3 of

December 6, 2016 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

OK, so Amazon doesn’t seem to have just book 1 of this trilogy as an option, so my link above is to the whole trilogy.  As I said in my Book 3 review, I already read book 1 a while ago, and then got stalled on book 2, and never made it to book 3.  So… I just read book 1 again.  I remember liking it, and I liked it again.  You have to take some things into consideration to enjoy the book though.  I […]

Narfna, you’re my book lobster. Thanks for knowing exactly what I needed today.

December 6, 2016 by scootsa1000 8 Comments

I just got home (from book shopping, naturally) and found a lovely package from Narfna waiting for me. So amazing that she just KNEW I had finished The Wise Man’s Fear just last night and was in need of a new fantasy to keep me busy. Also, how gorgeous is that Catherynne Valente book? Can’t wait to read it. And Night Shift!!!! Amazing. Thanks so much. Your choices were perfect. Cannonball book exchange truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

I don’t care how inbred he was, I’m not going to feel bad for this guy

December 5, 2016 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

I don’t know why I bothered to read this. It was attached to my copy of What The Night Knows, as novella prequel to What The Night Knows but meant to be read afterwards. I didn’t like What The Night Knows. I wasn’t going to like a prequel about its horrifying murdering ghost guy, pre-death. But I’m also unable to NOT complete what I’ve started, so I read the damn thing anyway. So, Darkness Under the Sun tells us about Alton Blackwood’s life before he murders a bunch […]

“Look at this progressive-ass devil. Literally.”

December 2, 2016 by NTE 1 Comment

That title is from my Kindle notes as I was reading this story, in response to the main character, who is supposedly the devil, who says things like “Homosexuality is not flammable. You can’t burn by it alone.”, and therefore makes him approximately 9000% less devilish than many humans I know. I wasn’t sure what to make of the synopsis Net Galley provided for this book before I received it; “Fielding Bliss has never forgotten the summer of 1984: the year a heat wave scorched […]
