Usually I lump a month’s worth of book reviews into a single post, but every once in a while you read something exceptional enough to warrant one of its own. Such is the case with Nadine Brandes’s historical fantasy Fawkes, released in July. Reviews have never been my forte. Until this year, they weren’t somethingContinueContinue reading “Book Review: “Fawkes” by Nadine Brandes”

Book Reviews For August
Usually, I write (or at least sketch out) my reviews as soon as I’ve finished the books I’m reading. This month, I was lazy and did not do that. I did tally eight titles read in August, though. So at least I was just writing lazy, and not reading lazy. Either way, prepare yourselves forContinueContinue reading “Book Reviews For August”

Hope For Susan: Reflections On Narnia’s Lost Sheep
“Sire,” said Tirian … “if I have read the chronicles aright, there should be another. Has not your Majesty two sisters? Where is Queen Susan?” “My sister Susan,” answered Peter shortly and gravely, “is no longer a friend of Narnia.” “Yes,” said Eustace, “and whenever you’ve tried to get her to come and talk aboutContinueContinue reading “Hope For Susan: Reflections On Narnia’s Lost Sheep”
Book Reviews for June
I don’t know, you guys. I’m starting to run out of clever/cutesy intros for my book review posts. Just how important is an intro? ‘Cause if I can get away with it, I might start launching straight into the reviews. That’s what we’re here for, anyway, right? Allons-y! Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ byContinueContinue reading “Book Reviews for June”
Book Reviews For May
Another month is gone, and springtime is almost over. Actually, I’m not sure what happened to Spring this year. Winter went long, and summer temperatures came early. Spring kinda went MIA. Fortunately for the world at large, I am not at leisure to complain about the weather today. There are more important things to do.ContinueContinue reading “Book Reviews For May”
Book Reviews for April
My writing plans for this afternoon did not include blogging. Since I’m supposed to be editing one of my fictional projects instead, I hope you’ll forgive me for bypassing the usual introductory fluff and simply saying: Here are some books I read in April. And here is what I thought of them. 1. Clouds ofContinueContinue reading “Book Reviews for April”
Book Reviews for March
I haven’t had much oomph to give blogging the past week or two, but apparently if there’s one thing I can scrape together, it’s a book review post. Hex Breaker, by Taryn Noelle Kloeden Epic fantasy with an earthy, mythical essence. There’s a lot going on— wolves and zombies and wars, oh my!— but allContinueContinue reading “Book Reviews for March”
Book Reviews For February
I had hoped to write something brilliant and original today, but this March weather thwarted my plans. It’s hard to get a good night’s sleep when violent wind keeps blowing your window open, and it’s hard to think clearly when you didn’t get a good night’s sleep, and it’s hard to write brilliant and originalsContinueContinue reading “Book Reviews For February”
What I Write: An Introduction
I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say. -Flannery O’Connor Happy Monday, everyone! Today I’ll be continuing in the introductory theme I began in the previous post (feel free to press pause for a sec and go check that one out, if you haven’t already.) Now the worldContinueContinue reading “What I Write: An Introduction”
