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 […]
Book Review: Blood Lite III: Aftertaste edited by Kevin J. Anderson
Blood Lite III: Aftertaste by Kevin J. Anderson My rating: 2 of 5 stars This anthology is supposed to be humorous horror. I have a message for Kevin J. Anderson: grossness is not nearly enough for humor. I hope volume two was funnier (I haven’t read it yet), but if it was as bad as this […]
Review: Ghost Story by Jim Butcher
Ghost Story: A Novel of the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher My rating: 5 of 5 stars Of course I (along with all Jim Butcher’s other fans) have been absolutely dying to read this book ever since finishing Changes. Sam and I have been talking about how there could possibly be another book that occurs after […]
Review: Blood Oath by Christopher Farnsworth
Blood Oath by Christopher Farnsworth My rating: 4 of 5 stars Blood Oath is an interesting and fairly refreshing variation on the vampire riff. Most of the current tales give us a suave, sexy predator who mesmerizes his or her prey, leaving humans pining for their presence. They might even fall in love with a human. […]

That is despite the fact that Jim Butcher did something I honestly didn’t think he would do to his legions of loyal readers, something that I absolutely detest. Something […]
Review: Mean Streets by Jim Butcher
Mean Streets by Jim Butcher My review rating: 4 of 5 starsMean Streets is one of the best anthologies I’ve read in a while. It only has four different pieces in it, but they’re all novellas, and all by strong, experienced writers. I don’t think any of them are here riding on someone else’s name […]
Books Books Books!
Yes, the girl and I managed a library run (to the GOOD library) on Friday. It took more time and energy than expected, of course, but we got a bunch of very good books. I read My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon last night, with much giggling. The stories were a bit uneven (normal for an anthology), […]
Disappointed!
(I’m hearing Gary Oldman in The Fifth Element when I read the subject there. Yes, I probably could have found a sound clip and included it, but I’m counting on your imaginations and memories here.) Well, I finally got around to reading the rest of Fledgling, the Liaden Universe novel published by serially by Sharon Lee […]
