Recent reads: A bit this and that

  The Forteous meeting by Christopher Kastensmidt. This is a novelette, set in Colonial Brazil. Aliette de Bodard recommended it on twitter earlier today. I downloaded it and read it on the commute into town, and I am glad I read it. It was a really good story, and I cannot wait to read other […]

Have you read the word warriors?

I am a part of the war room, founded by C.E Murphy 6 years ago.  We are awesome and mighty.   And as a coincidence several of us have books on sale right now. Note: Links are to Amazon, since it is hot and I am lazy. Available at other stores, though! Robin D Owens […]

What I’m reading: The California Malcom edition

I read Risk of Love and Magic recently, and had a blast. I loved the romance between Nadine and Magnus.  They were both a bit wary to the other, and it was sweet how the wariness first turned into  affection, albeit an baffled one, and then love. Their search for Nadine’s sister, and later the […]

A handful of mixed deals

I used to post weekly deals when I wrote reviews. I am considering to resume them, since I was pretty good at finding them and they were fun to write. Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie is 1.99 right now.  This is a science fiction novel that has been nominated to a lot of awards, and […]
