Shiver Me Dead

6 July 2009 Jackie 1

Orbit is looking for some help designing the most ridiculously bad high-concept SFF book cover in the universe.  This sounds like it could be a lot of fun and I know I’m going to be keeping my eye on it. Interviews: Kat Richardson, author of the Greywalker series, by Amberkatze […]

Prey by R. Vincent – the SPOILER edition

6 July 2009 Jackie 5

I finished reading Rachel Vincent’s new Shifter novel, Prey a couple of weeks ago and I’ve already posted my initial review.  However, I think I ended the first sentence with SERIOUSLY?!  Now that the book has been out for a week, I’m reposting the review, but with the spoiler stuff […]

6 July 2009 Rayna 0

Last fall, we received a copy of CA Milson’s The Chosen and that was what was previously reviewed.  When we were given The Chosen: Rise of Darkness, we both thought that it was a sequel, not the same story, newly revised.  However, it came to our attention that the second […]

Sunday Surprise!

5 July 2009 Jackie 9

Lately, there seems to be an angel (or demon depending on your view) who has been supplying me with books.  I generally know what I’m suppose to be getting in the mail, but this past week, two have shown up that I wasn’t expecting.  I love those type of surprises!  […]

4 July 2009 Jackie 60

I have way too many books sitting in my office and I can’t keep all of them (the hubby has been glaring at me since I’ve been asking for more shelves and he says no); but that’s good news for everyone else because I’m giving a couple of them away.  […]

Good Things Come in Threes (Anthology)

2 July 2009 Jackie 3

I was pleasantly surprised when I received a copy of Good Things Come in Threes in the mail the other day.  I’ll be honest, I kind of forgot it was coming out on July 14th.  Since all three of these novellas have been published before, I wasn’t keeping track of […]

I know I know
