Fallout by CL Talmadge

4 February 2009 Jackie 1

Okay, I am now seriously annoyed with CL Talmadge’s second novel in her Green Stone of Healing series, Fallout.  I want to know whose bright idea it was to end the book on such a cliffhanger?!  That was not how I was expecting the book to end. Let me start […]

The Vision by CL Talmadge

24 January 2009 Jackie 1

The first novel in CL Talmadge’s Green Stone of Healing series, The Vision introduces us to the world of Azgard and a ruling culture that may or may not be familiar. I was going to put in the book description as it’s printed at Amazon, but it pretty much states […]

Ender’s Game by O.S. Card

13 December 2008 Jesse 1

So I’ve had pretty mediocre luck with the past few books I’ve read – it’s been quite a while since I’d found one that I couldn’t put down. With all my hobbies (guitar, writing, software development, art, etc), it’s hard to find time to make it through a book. The […]

13 November 2008 Jackie 0

Jesse has given me permission to cross-post his two excerpts for his NaNoWriMo novel, The Autobiography of Ziggy Swift.  Here’s the second excerpt… Andy was dumbfounded that I was stupid enough to pour bricklayers mud into a trough and then take a bath in it. I wheezed the word ’soap’ […]

I am excited to be bringing you this wonderful story written by my husband. He’s getting ready for NaNoWriMo and this is just a taste of the novel he’s planning on writing in November. Jesse would like for this story to be considered a fable, since he tossed in a […]

The Last Plague by G. Page

Writing a good review is quite often an easy, fun task. If a book moves you, it’s painless to gush about how deep the characters are, or how the author did a great job researching a given subject. Sometimes however, you don’t connect with a book, and are left holding […]

Quondam by J. Gibson

28 August 2008 Jackie 0

I was given a copy of Jayel Gibson’s fantasy novel Quondam and I was intrigued. The story itself is very much a fantasy staple, yet it brings something different to the table. Honestly, I keep replaying the story over and over in my head and I am still having a […]

Through the Veil by S. Walker

4 August 2008 Jackie 2

I can’t remember where I heard about Through the Veil by Shiloh Walker, but it had lodged itself in the back of my head for awhile and when I saw it at the bookstore, I just had to buy it. Now, after reading it, I have to say I think […]

Warrior & Witch by M. Brennan

27 July 2008 Jackie 0

Warrior and Witch by Marie Brennan is the second novel in the Doppelganger series. Just so people don’t get confused, this same novel is also known as Witch. Why the change… My publisher wants them to have continued life; the reissue is timed for two months after the release of […]
