I have had some troubles finishing books lately, but I have read some really good ones. Shaman Rises by C. E Murphy I devoured Shaman Rises by C. E. Murphy. It is the last book in the Walker Papers series *sob*, and it was so good. It wrapped up all the loose threads, and was filled with unexpected twists. Go and read it! High Seduction by Vivian Arend I love Vivian Arend’s contemporary romances, but I was a bit slow…
This summer is packed full with books that I’m itching to read. To begin with, there is Shield of Winter by Nalini Singh. Which was the reason I re-read the series now. Mmm. ( I’ll admit that I’m crossing my fingers that my book store makes the same mistake they did last year. *cough*) Then in July Shaman Rises by C.E Murphy releases. *sob* I’m still struggling with the fact that it is the last Walker Paper novel. Also in…
The last week or so I have been glomming on Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling series. It is far from the first time I read this series. I love it. I love the complex and rich worldbuilding, but most of all I love the characters. They are Changelings, Psy and human, but what I also appreciate is that all of them has a past that have affected them and that affects the plots in the books. But what I appreciate the most…
Close to a year ago, I wrote a blog post about my top 3 female SF/F writers. With the recent hubub about the Waterstone list, I thought it might be a good idea to write a new list. Unlike last year when it was solely unknown authors, it is a mix of wellknown and less well known writers. Chrysoula Tzavelas: I pledged the Matchbox Girls Kickstarter solely on C.E. Murphy’s blurb. And I haven’t regretted it since. Since the moment…
I know. This is a bit late, since it is already February 10th. In January I glommed on Lisa Shearin’s Raine Benares Novels. It was nice to be back in this world, and follow Raine’s adventures as she tried to rid herself of the Saghred. The plot were engaging, the characters interesting. Just like before, the last book was my least favorite. Probably because I really don’t want the series to end. I also re-read the Moon series by Maria…
I have 200 books marked as unread in Calibre, most of them written by authors that I have wanted to give a try for a long. And yet, none of them spark my interest. Normally, I would have shrugged it off, and assumed that it would change soon. Except that I have been in a reading slump since October. Which is very frustrating, when you like me used to read 1 book/ day, if not more.. But then I started…

Midnight ink is 0.99 right now, and contains stories from 9 authors I think. I’ll admit it. I’m often wary of multiauthor bundles, but since all the stories are interlinked, I decided to buy it. TheDuchess warby Courtney Milan has been on my wishlist for awhile, and it is just 0.99 right now, and the sale ends TODAY. So grab it while you can. For the Honor of the Hunt by Lazette Gifford This is a short story collection, with 3…
To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions… • What are you currently reading? • What did you recently finish reading? • What do you think you’ll read next? I know I have been quiet this month, but I have been in an reading slump. Sigh. But I think I am finally crawling out of it. Anyway, here is what I have read this month. Currently reading: I love Wen Spencer’s novels, but I am struggling with…
