Ooooh Greek Mythology. I love you so. Mythology in general has been one of those things that I have been fascinated with for my entire life. And Madeline Miller.... well, let's just say that Song of Achilles had me in goddamn tears despite knowing how The Illiad ended. It is quite easily one of my... Continue Reading →
Review: I Was a Teenage Weredeer by C.T. Phipps & Michael Suttkus
This book has been on my radar for some time, because it seems really fun. So, gleeful sounds were made when I was offered a copy for review (because this means I *have* to have time to read it, you see! These are the rules of review requests. I do not make the rules, I... Continue Reading →
Review: Noir by Christopher Moore
Ahh I can't help myself. This one isn't exactly fantasy... it's more humour/mystery...ish. But, it's sort of fantastical, in a way... so... yeah. π I love Christopher Moore's books. I've read, um... pretty much everything that he's published at this point. A Dirty Job and Secondhand Souls (of which the hardcover glows in the fucking... Continue Reading →
Review: Nice Dragons Finish Last by Rachel Aaron
I got this audiobook on an audible daily deal sale months ago but had just never gotten to it. I moved it up to the top of the TBR of Babel based on some twitter/reddit hype. Oh, the hype hit me. I got hyped. In the face! Yeah, well within 4 hours of starting it... Continue Reading →
Review: The Innocent Dead by Jill Nojack
It's uh... it's an interesting story how this book came to my attention. There was a book... and it had a narrator... and I liked that narrator but not the book, and... heh. Well, it turns out that the narrator is a pretty cool guy, and said I could have a different book. π I... Continue Reading →
Review: The Disappearance of Winter’s Daughter by Michael J. Sullivan
This is going to be one of those reviews that is mostly just me spewing out rainbows and glitter about something that I love. I suppose I should warn you of that in the beginning. π Consider yourselves warned! When Gabriel Winterβs daughter mysteriously disappears and is presumed dead, the wealthy whiskey baron seeks revenge.... Continue Reading →
Review: River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey
I actually got this book when it was released but never find the time to read it. Yeah, I know it's a novella. The review requests pile was... it was bad, guys. I've just waded out of it now. π And then, I was browsing through hoopla and stumbled upon the audiobook. Actually, a lot... Continue Reading →
Review: Danse Macabre by Laura M. Hughes
Surprise audiobooks are the best audiobooks! I had read this lovely little novella last year with a pretty ridiculous amount of enjoyment and hadn't heard that there was an audiobook until there was! Well, I couldn't not immediately jump on it and spend the evening listening to it. The dead beckon and the little girl... Continue Reading →
Review: Transformation by Carol Berg
I've had this one in my audible library for a long while. It was recommended to me by someone on reddit with the caveat that you should absolutely not let its cover deter you from reading it, and I ended up finding it on audible for a not-ridiculous amount of money (thanks whispersync!) and couldn't... Continue Reading →
Review: The Steamborn Trilogy by Eric R. Asher
I bet you can't guess which genre these are. I bet you caaaaan't! ;D So, I've listened to another audiobook trilogy by this author, which was Urban Fantasy and rather enjoyable if I remember it right, so when this trilogy came across my AudiobookBoom email, I jumped at it. Because this one sounded even more... Continue Reading →
