Up until now, I’ve read Heyer’s Regency romances, but she wrote some historical novels as well. (What I didn’t know about this one until I read the forward is that it’s unfinished – she never had the concentrated time to devote to it that she wanted to.) This is the story of John of Bedford, […]

I really like how this book picks up a few centuries after the action of the Mistborn novels – society has changed and evolved due to what happened in those books – it’s really cool to see how that has changed, and what was brought forward from that older time. The setting is part Old

Librarything Early Reviewers book. So I was introduced to Mamrie Hart by way of “@Midnight”, after which we tracked down “Hey USA” online, and have added “Camp Takota” to our Netflix watchlist. Which I guess means I’m probably not anywhere near a Mamrie Hart superfan, but I really do love her on what I’ve

Read for the Once Upon a Time IX Reading Challenge. I do love these books. I’ve read two of the three in this series so far, and both have made me cry. (Which is a high compliment. I don’t cry for books.) In the Dells, there are monsters – varieties of animals

Read for the Once Upon a Time IX Reading Challenge. What I really like about Brandon Sanderson’s work is that he comes up with fresh, incredibly different systems of magic for all of his separate worlds. Figuring out how things work is half the fun of his novels. This particular book is slanted

This is a neat little book – it’s got pictures of all the known stable elements. (Well, he’s stretching a bit for a few at the far end of stability, but there are also little write ups with each element to tell you why.) So I’ve really been enjoying having the Kindle app on
