This is a collection of short stories featuring Harry Dresden, and Jim Butcher introduces each one, explaining which collection it was first included in, or what purpose it was written for. I wouldn’t advise anyone who hasn’t read up to, and finished, at least book 12, Changes, as the last novella in the book takes place immediately after the events in that book, and it contains several spoilers. This month’s monthly motif is Short and Sweet, to read short story collection or anthologies. Which fit pretty much perfectly for me […]
Angels and demons, trying to find common ground in the face of near-impossible odds
This is the third and concluding volume in a trilogy. I’m not sure I can actually review it without spoiling some of the previous books, so if you haven’t read them, skip this for now. Do check out the previous two books, though, as they are YA fantasy at its best. Book 1, Daughter of Smoke and Bone is reviewed here, and book 2, Days of Blood and Starlight is here. I can also heartily recommend the companion novella Night of Cake and Puppets for those who have read the first […]
“Find Tom! Please! Tell him you saw Lizzie Hexam!”
This trade paperback of The Unwritten collects issues 42-49 of the comic. It’s been going for years now and is really quite heavily arc-based, so I wouldn’t start with this one. It’s a great comic, especially for anyone who loves books and reading. Start at the beginning with Tommy Taylor and the Bogus Identity. Standard disclaimer about possible spoilers for earlier books in review, just so no one can say they weren’t warned. Tommy Taylor discovers that Lizzie is not lost, she’s just trapped in the Underworld, and […]
It’s just so amazing, you guys. Why aren’t you ALL reading it?
This trade paperback volume of Saga collects issues 13-18. It’s an ongoing series, and you really should be starting at the beginning. It’s also the best comic book/graphic novel series I’ve read in probably a decade, so if you haven’t read it, run to your nearest comics shop and come back when you’ve caught up. Also, it goes without saying that there may be spoilers here for earlier in the series. Marko’s mother has decided to join her son and his new family on their quest to find […]
A Victorian romance with depression, theft and blackmail attempts
Disclaimer! I was granted an ARC of this from Pocket Books through NetGalley in return for a fair and honest review. I should also add that by the time I was granted the ARC, I’d already bought the book in pre-order, because with one horrible exception, she writes awesome books, and is on my automatic pre-order list. Once again, the cover image has little to nothing to do with the contents of the book, although the cover model is at least a redhead, like the heroine. I don’t think […]
A lot of things can change in six months
3.5 stars Again, this is a book that I don’t actually want to post about here, because if you haven’t read the previous 12 books in the series, it’s probably best if you know as little as possible about what this book is about. If you have read the previous 12, and this book, and want my take on it, feel free to check my thought over on my blog. I promise I’ll start posting actual reviews here real soon.
