I've listened to a short story or two by Elizabeth Bear on audible with a good amount of liking them, but hadn't ever read any of her novels. Oh, I've been meaning to for ages. In fact, I've got more than one of them in my audible library, but the TBR of Babel is such... Continue Reading →
Review: Autonomous by Annalee Newitz
I heard a little hype about this book on twitter, and couldn't help myself when it popped up on NetGalley. It sounded absolutely intriguing. I'm no stranger to sci-fi, and also no stranger to books involving robots, but this one seemed unique. So, many thanks to Macmillan-Tor/Forge via NetGalley for this book. Earth, 2144. Jack...

Also, firstly, I'm going to straight-up apologize in advance for... Continue Reading →
Review: Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames
I didn't even have to read the entire blurb for this one to know that this book was right up my alley. Much like Jonathan French's The Grey Bastards, any book filled with a group of dudes just fighting and cursing up a storm is something I'm actively interested in reading. This particular romp been...
