A Plague of Giants by Kevin Hearne My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book represents a major change from the Iron Druid series, so I worked hard to set aside my expectations of Hearne based on loving those. A Plague of Giants is every bit as well-written as that series, maybe even better! Still, I […]
What I’ve Been Up To
Lots of knitting. Lots and lots of knitting. (If you’re on Ravelry, you can see my finished projects.) My hands ache from the knitting, particularly the left because I knit Continental. I think I may have to learn to knit English just to swap off on occasion. We’ve been going out to hear more live […]
Book Review: The Gathering Edge by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller
The Gathering Edge by Sharon Lee My rating: 5 of 5 stars A most satisfying entry in the Liaden Universe series, number 20 begins and ends with plenty of action. Indeed, the reader hardly has time to take a breath for all the action! The characters themselves must be exhausted — I feel so in their […]

Less Than a Treason by Dana Stabenow My rating: 5 of 5 stars FINALLY! The cliffhanger at the end of Bad Blood is resolved, or of course there would not be a #21. It’s been so long (over four years!) since I read #20, though, that I had to go back and re-read the last bit […]

Fredrickson My rating: 5 of 5 stars I first read Fredrickson’s second book, Love 2.0: How Our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything We Feel, Think, Do, and Become. It blew me away, and I’ve recommended it hither […]
Book Review: Storm Front by Jim Butcher
Storm Front by Jim Butcher My rating: 5 of 5 stars I just re-read Storm Front, after first reading it — well, I don’t even know how many years ago! Shortly after it was first released, I think. Now, it’s important to know that I simply don’t re-read books. I find that too boring, most of the […]

The End of an Era
I just finished migrating all the posts and comments for this journal to https://technomom.dreamwidth.org/. I doubt that I will continue to post here at all (not that I’ve been doing it much). If you wish to keep in touch, please do so there or (better yet) on Facebook or by reading the very occasional posts […]
