Nikki and I hope you’ll join us today for Story Time with Literary Escapism, a bi-weekly feature where we showcase various children books that fall directly in the fantasy & science fiction genres, as well as books we’re enjoying with our young children. We’re talking boardbooks, picture books, those books […]
I’m a huge urban fantasy fan and there are some that are more dark and gritty than others. A good example of an awesome one is Yasmine Galenorn’s Otherworld series. Haunted Moon is the 13th book and I devoured it in a matter of hours. It was fantastic and just […]
In an engaging journey of true passion, Marie Brennan’s A Natural History of Dragons catapults the reader into an epic tale of one woman’s life, finding her passion and having the courage to act on it. A Natural History of Dragons brings a world which is truly familiar yet beautifully different; letting […]
Imagine an epic fantasy-adventure book meets reality TV (but replace cameramen and TVs with bards and ballads) and you end up with Ian Gibson’s Stuff of Legends. While it was a cute, funny story that I enjoyed while reading it; yet, there was nothing really amazing or memorable about Stuff […]

This first in a new series introduces us to Bannon and Clare, a not quite harmonious team of logic and instinct. With each chapter of this suspenseful steampunk mystery, Saintcrow’s world becomes more […]

I really wanted to like Song of the Dragon by Tracy Hickman. I was a big fan of the Dragonlance series and I was excited to read it, but I was terribly disappointed. Drakis returns from the War of the Nineth Throne — the last of the great dwarven wars — […]
James R. Tuck has a new Deacon Chalk novella, Spider’s Lullaby, coming out in two weeks and I finally got to read it. Now normally, I’m not a big fan of novellas and pass them by. But we’re talking Deacon Chalk. Monsters. Kickass fighting…considering I loved Blood and Bullets and That Thing at […]
I have had the first two books of Nancy A. Collins’ Golgotham series for far too long. They’ve been near the top of my to-read next list from the start. So you can understand my sadness when Right Hand Magic (#1 in the Golgotham series) didn’t pan out the way I had […]
After just finishing Nancy A Collins Right Hand Magic, I wasn’t all that excited to read the next book in the Golgotham series, Left Hand Magic, but I gave it a try anyway. It was easier yet harder to read this book. Since I knew what to expect, it meant […]
