Rachel Vincent has the cover for Shift posted on her forum. I did have it posted here, but after seeing that it was posted on the forum, I didn’t really read anything else and just grabbed the image. So you’ll have to wait for a bit more before I can […]

That Monster TBR Stack Challenge

17 August 2009 Jackie 16

I’m tired of looking at my TBR stack.  When I first started Literary Escapism, I had maybe 5 books waiting for me to read.  That was on a good week.  I can’t say that anymore.  This is what I am currently dealing with: I’m not liking it.  There are just […]

Awhile ago, the cover art for Justine Larbalestier’s upcoming YA Liar was revealed and it caused a major up roar – which is should have. Well, the people at Bloomsbury listened to the mass outcry and a new cover has emerged. OCD, Vampires & Rants has the previous and new […]

Dark Time by Dakota Banks

9 August 2009 Jackie 7

I was sent a copy of Dark Time, the first novel in the Mortal Path series by Dakota Banks and I really can’t say much about it. What if a woman sold her soul to a demon and 300 years later wanted it back? In the 17th century, a woman […]
