I teach Special Education and have three demented dogs. Between my students all day and my dogs all night my stress relief is reading. It is the only thing that keeps me from going crazy. Or should I say from going crazier? I read anything but I prefer fantasy, sci-fi and steampunk. I also love urban fantasy and historical romances. If it has dragons and magic, vampires and werewolves, crazy machines and corsets or aliens and spaceships then I’m happy. Mix in a Scotland laird or two every once in a while and I’m ecstatic!

I’m sure many of you have heard about websites and companies that claim to be the Netflix of games, magazines, etc. Well, now there’s one for books. Well ok, there’s a few but the one I wanted to check out was Scribd. At Scribd you pay $8.99 a month to gain an all […]
I don’t normally read, or enjoy, young adult novels but I’ll make an exception for any kind of fairy tale retelling. I’m glad I gave Charming by Krystal Wade a chance. Charming starts off fast and never slows down. The characters are engaging and the story is appealing. And no, Charming is not your […]
I am a great fan of Nora Roberts, and some of her books can be a miss for me, but I’m very happy to report that Shadow Spell was a hit! I had already fallen in love with the characters thanks to Dark Witch(the first of the Cousin’s O’Dwyer series) but Shadow Spell helped […]
Did you hear the news!? Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens is going to be adapted into a radio play by BBC Radio 4. Words cannot describe how excited I am over this. Good Omens is one of my favorite books of all time. I’ve read Good Omens I don’t know how many times […]
A tale of two star crossed lovers who both want a break from their normal lives. One a woman who has a fairly normal, yet monotonous life. The other is a rock star who just happens to be a satyr. Heavy Metal Heart by Nico Rosso (the first in his […]
I try not to judge a book by its cover…but the blurb? That’s fair game. While the blurb caught my attention I’m sad to say Fated by Rebecca Zanetti was a DNF for me; but probably not for the reason you’re thinking. Zanetti’s world was very compelling and her characters managed to catch […]
Serial novels have been around for a very long time. It used to be because books were rare and expensive things, so to increase their audience base, publishers’ used to publish books one chapter or section at a time. But the serial novel really took off during the Victorian era, […]
So it finally happened. After 7 years of going to the Barnes & Noble located in my hometown I ran into a book snob. I’m sure I’ve run into book snobs before but if so they were quiet about it. I imagine they expressed their disdain in my reading choices […]
Romantic fantasy, sci-fi, and steampunk books just in time for Valentine’s Day! It’s almost Valentine’s Day! And that means romantic dinners and flowers and chocolates. Unless of course you’re busy, your significant other is busy or you don’t have a significant other. Like me. This year I’m going to forgo […]
