I’ve got another holiday related collection for you, this time instead of holiday short stories its holiday romance novellas. The Season for Love is a collection of three Shannon Stacey works all tied (loosely) around the holiday season. In another review of Ms. Stacey’s works I’ve commended her ability to ground her characters in the real world, while still letting them play in Romance Novel Land ™. That is still true, and perhaps why when looking for something to download onto my nook before flying […]
This Seemed an Appropriate Christmas Day Review
I’ve read everything John Green and Maureen Johnson have ever written. I own their catalogues and evangelize their books. Yet, somehow, this one always slipped through the cracks. I meant to get around to it, really, but never managed to. One day last week, I needed some Christmas cheer and decided this was the way to go; I was ever so glad I did! I’m not too surprised I enjoyed the first two stories in this linked trilogy, and the third was also really well […]
Forget the past when it’s too terrible to face
Knocking out another VF book club review with Deerskin. Instead of aliens and greek-like gods, we read a dark fairytale about a princess named Lissar whose mother was the most beautiful queen of all the kingdoms. Her beauty so captivating that all the land including the King hardly remember the princess exists. But alas the queen cannot live forever, so she captures her beauty in a striking painting before her death. It’s almost as if she curses her daughter to live behind her shadow even after death. [MILD […]
Bone of the Rings!
Yes this is like Tolkien! a bit….in a graphic novel…with perhaps a bit more humor but also with depth and ancient evil and dragons and plot twists and cow racing! This was another recommendation from iO9. Graphic Novel. HUGE fat thing at 1300 pages -it’s the compilation of ALL the Bone comics which were apparently released over 10 years – 1994-2004. An epic fantasy saga – very funny, clever, good story telling. To summarize: “After being run out of Boneville, the three Bone […]
Back to the Posting Board
Disclaimer: I’m super behind on writing up the books I’ve read. What can I say? Good things happening in my life have unfortunately meant I’ve had less time to read and write about said reading. I’m super behind on my TiVo too, if it makes you feel any better. This is all to say that the following summary is going to be brief and probably leave out a lot since it’s been quite some time since I read the book in question. The Perils of […]
Alien invasion love
Collision is part one of a new alien invasion trilogy from Berinn Rae. Sienna, an ex- military brat and recent widow stumbles upon a crashed ship near her remote home. Against her better judgement, she goes inside to investigate. She discovers a super hot human-like man (except for his unnatural golden skin) unconscious on floor. Another weird guy passed out who may be dead. She drags the golden man outside just before a crazy winged alien attacks. The two creatures point weird guns at each other with […]
