Another Kindle sale book here – but I might have paid more for it had I known about it earlier. The Lizzie Bennett Diaries are a fantastic web series that adapted Pride and Prejudice into the modern day. Lizzie’s a communications grad student doing a web series as a project, and Darcy is […]

I picked up this book (and the other five in the series) on a .99 cent Kindle sale. Jessamyn is a pilot on Mars, training all her young life to be able to make the run to Earth to get supplies for the Colony. This is complicated by a war that resulted

This is a great ending to the Confederation novels. Gunnery Sergeant Torin Kerr has finally been sent back to her unit on the front, when they’re attacked. Torin pretty much knows she’s going to die when she hears a bomb coming in on their position, but she instead wakes up in a prison

I was very curious to see how this book was going to work – it’s a tacked on end to a former trilogy that actually ended with the death of Arthur. So bringing back another Arthur story was definitely a bold move. What this story does is go back to a few

I would like to be able to say that my garden has been puttering along nicely, now that we’re in July/August, and as you can see above, it has. I’ve even gotten my first harvest from the tomatoes and shishito peppers. But this is what it looked like until this morning. Have I mentioned
I’m often surprised how many de Lint books are out there that I still haven’t read. The man is nothing short of prolific. This is a book of short stories, with familiar characters, and characters that are just passing through or around Newford. My favorite story in this book is “Seven Wild Sisters”

I realized I haven’t posted anything about any knitting for a while, and there is a good reason for that. It’s been hot (this is going to become a recurring theme in the next couple of posts.) So the blanket I’ve been working on is probably the best possible project to be working
The main thing I’m taking away from this trio of books (see here for the other) is that Edward Gorey thought a lot about the alphabet. There are so many variations of alphabet lists in these books. He’s also morbid. Which I already knew, but got extra confirmation reading these. I

This is the fourth of the Mercy Thompson books, and definitely has an air of a between stories story, though far better done than what I’ve been reading in the later Sookie Stackhouse books. There were some rather serious events in the last book that Mercy is dealing with, including having killed one of the
Bone Crossed – Patricia Briggs Read More »
This book is a prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and I only picked it up because I didn’t have to pay for anything. I’ll admit to having no expectations, but it was actually not too bad. It’s a couple years before the action of Pride and Prejudice, and the Bennett girls have
