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 two stories that is available. ( Also: Pretty, please write more!) A Bodkin for the Bride by Patrice Greenwood. I love The Wisteria tearoom novels,…
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 have no less than 5 Celta novels on sale for 3.99 each. Heart Fortune, Heart Change, Heart Secret, Heart Search, Heart Journey. Normally you would…
This is the books that are on my ” I have to have it now” list. Though I have already read Citadel of the sky, so I guess I am waiting for the sequel. *looks pointedly at Chrysoula* Also, no covers, since I am tired and lazy. Beyond Innocence (e-book): This is the series I read when I crave something really steamy. There are lot of sex scenes, but the series are well written and the characters are interesting. This time…
So Maria at Bear Mountain Books have been raving about Frank Tuttle for a long time. With that in mind, I bought All Paths of Shadow when it was free a couple of months ago, but I didn’t get around to read it until I bought my Kindle. I wanted to read books, and I wasn’t home some I downloaded some books from my account. All Paths of Shadow was one of them. And I am glad I read it….
I might not like the cover for Heart of Fire *cough* but ever since I read it, I have been promoting her books to anyone that wants book recommendations. Since they are simply great. But I figured I would tell you why you should buy her books. 1. She can write *anything* from children’s books to Urban Fantasy to adults. 2. There are guaranteed to be a book that suits your mood. ( Except if you are in the mood…
On Monday The Digital reader reported that Adobe DE 4 is spying on Users. And since ADE is the most common program to read DRM’d epubs with, it freaked a lot of readers out. I’ll admit that I am one of them. And despite the fact that the previous versions don’t send data, I switched to Bluefire. The drawback with Bluefire is that it doesn’t detect e-readers so I cannot use it for library books. For purchased books, though,…
When Chrysoula idly said ” One for Catie, a One for.. who?” in the war room, I leaped on the chance to read an ARC. And I am glad I did. This book mostly took place in the Senyaza version of Seattle, except not. It was fascinating to get to explore other aspects of the Senyaza universe, and to realise that not even Demons and Angels are perfect, that they can make mistake. I really liked AT. She was…
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 General was fast paced, and filled with unexpected twists. Yupp. I had a blast reading about Nadine and Magnus. So much that I went back…
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 recieved great reviews. I have no idea how long it lasts, but I snapped it up. Risk of Love and Magic by Patricia Rice is…
This is in no particular order. :). – James Hetley released a new Stonefort novel. This made me so happy. I love his books, and I had almost given up on reading a new Stonefort novel. It was really good. You should buy it from BVC. Summer arrived. The weather in June was a bit cold ( to put it mildly). But this week summer arrived with a bang. I am also reminded that I don’t like temps over…
