Drums & Light

17 March 2009 Jackie 1

Check out the cover Jennifer Armintrout has for her upcoming novel, Queene of Light.  I honestly have no clue what it is about or if it’s the third novel or the first one or when it’s even coming out.  I will say, if you check out Jennifer’s blog, you can […]

Squealing About the Books in the Mail

16 March 2009 Jackie 6

Okay, I don’t normally do a “books in the mail” post simply because I don’t get a lot of books in the mail all at once.  However, today, that is not the case.  Check out what I got in the mail today: Magic Strikes by Ilona Andrews – hell yeah.  […]

Gotta Love the Eyes

16 March 2009 Jackie 0

For a change, I’m starting out today’s post with some sad news. Keri Arthur has started the 9th and final novel in the Riley Jensen series. This totally bums me out since I love this series and will hate to see it end. On a more positive note, Keri did […]

15 March 2009 Jackie 4

This weeks Weekly Geeks will be such an easy topic for me. The recent release of Watchmen based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore got me thinking about what I thought were the worst movie adaptations of books. What book or books did a director or directors completely ruin […]

More Weekly Geeks fun and this time, but this time I’m not really in any specific mood… Kids who don’t eavesdrop on adult conversations are doomed to a childhood of ignorance. – Men of the Otherworld by Kelley Armstrong No, I would not want to live in a world without […]

Double Circus Flycon

12 March 2009 Jackie 2

Damn. I am loving the cover for Ann Aguirre’s Doubleblind, the third Sirantha Jax novel.  Seriously, is this just not an awesome cover.  It’s different from the first two novels in the the colors are a little more lighter, flirty….girly maybe, but I am digging it.  I’ve been keeping my […]

Feast of Fools by R. Caine

11 March 2009 Jackie 3

No, I’m not backed up on reviews. I really did finish two books today. The fourth Morganville Vampires novel, Feast of Fools was completely captivating. In the town of Morganville, vampires and humans live in relative peace. Student Claire Danvers has never been convinced, though—especially with the arrival of Mr. […]

Midnight Alley by R. Caine

11 March 2009 Jackie 1

I don’t know what it is about young adult fiction, but whenever I’m getting stuck in a reading rut, I can usually count on a YA title to bring me out of it. It doesn’t always work, but Rachel Caine’s Midnight Alley did it for me this time. Claire Danvers’s […]
