This book . . . *shakes head* I received an ARC of A PROMISE OF FIRE early in the year, and I was excited about it too, b/c fantasy romance, I love it. And it’s rare. So new author, new series, hell yes, I will board that train. Then I started reading it. Two things: […]
So I should’ve gone to see FBaWtFT back at Thanksgiving, when it first came out, but I didn’t. B/c three different Thanksgivings in three days . . . Ish. Whatever, there was no time for movie-going. And I didn’t go see it immediately afterwards, b/c recovering from all the Thanksgivings. BUT. My birthday was on […]
I read DISCOUNT ARMAGEDDON over four and a half years ago when it was first released, and all I can say in regards to why I’m only just now getting back to it is . . . It was a casualty of Mt. TBR. And I am ashamed. B/c seriously, guys, this book screams, “JESSICA! […]
Bookfessional: Books We Love on the Big (or Little) Screen Last week, Tor.com posted a MASTERLIST of all the SFF adaptions coming to TV or theaters, and I couldn’t curb the urge to repost/comment on some of the ones I’m most looking forward to. But FIRST, it’s important to know that just b/c the film […]
The Elixir virus is still plaguing both human and immortal populations when the latest installment of Hunter’s ELEMENTAL WORLD series begins, but this time we’re focused on finding a cure (for vampires without a living sire) for the disease.

Bookfessional: DNFs There are as many reactions to DNF(did not finish)-ing a book as there are different types of readers. Some people will quit a book if the first few pages don’t grab and keep their attention, while others will stubbornly continue until they read the last word on the last page, even if any […]

Blackthorn and Grim have returned to their cottage, Blackthorn curmudgeonly about her recent revelations and Grim silently and steadfastly enduring.

Bookfessional: Classics I Have Not Read My constantly expanding to-be-read list gets more ridiculous by the day, but I don’t usually think of it in terms of the classics. In fact, any time I get a book that isn’t a new release, if it’s a priority, I try to remember to shelve it as an […]
I’ve been doing brainless data entry-type things this week. Until today . . . Today the cooking madness begins, but before that, it was nothing but mind-numbingly dull BLAH. So did I? a. fall asleep with my eyes open? b. repeatedly bash my head into my keyboard? c. multitask and inhale season one of Legends […]
Bookfessional: My Bookish Wishlist Next week my fellow Americans and I will be celebrating Thanksgiving . . . and by “celebrating,” I mean eating triple our bodyweight in butter and PIE. *throws confetti in the air* *shakes significantly larger booty* *does not care* After that . . . well, after that the frenzy that is […]
If you aren’t sure what a “squawk” is, start watching the YouTube video at 0:15: That, my friends, is a squawk. The reason for this squawk is b/c I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel.
