First book of the new year!!! After just a moment of looking at the beautiful cover for this novel, I knew I wanted to read it. I mean, I don't judge a book by its cover necessarily, but a book with a pretty cover is 100% more likely to make me interested in reading a... Continue Reading →
Review: Straight Outta Fangton by C.T. Phipps
Having liked Phipp's Weredeer books, this one, that takes place in the same world but at (I think?) an earlier time, sounded interesting. And so, this review is based around a review copy of the audiobook. Thanks to the author for that review copy. Peter Stone is a poor black vampire who is wondering where... Continue Reading →
Review: Minimum Wage Magic by Rachel Aaron
A new book set in the DFZ?! Clear my schedule! I preordered this one on the day I learned it existed, and then immediately started reading it as soon as it appeared on the kindle. Hooray! The DFZ, the metropolis formerly known as Detroit, is the world’s most magical city with a population of nine... Continue Reading →

Review: An American Weredeer in Michigan by C.T. Phipps & Michael Suttkus
Having really quite enjoyed the first book in this series, I was happy to accept a review copy of the audiobook of the 2nd book as well. Quick, fun listens like this are a great way to help me get work done! So, I got a copy of this audiobook from (one of) the authors,... Continue Reading →
Review: Paternus – Wrath of Gods by Dyrk Ashton
Maaaaaan I've been waiting for this one for a long, long time. I need something that I can have a mythological squee over, and if Paternus isn't that thing, I don't know what is. I actually beta read this book, which is unusual. I read books before they're released, yes, but not usually beta versions... 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: The Automation by Anonymous (Narrated by BLA and Annotated by GB Gabbler)
So, you can probably already tell that this book is going to be a little bizarre. Let me assure you it's a bit more than a little bizarre. I've had this book on my review requests pile for a long, long time, but, guys the review requests pile isn't a large looming unsteady jenga-esque tower... 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: Lake Silence by Anne Bishop
I really really like the world of The Others, so naturally when this popped up on NetGalley, I was more than happy to send in a request for it. This one is a spin-off of the first five books in the series. It takes place in the same world but a different part of it... Continue Reading →
