The Songweaver’s Vow is a fantasy-style retelling of Norse legends mixed in with some Greek ones. Thank you, storybundle, for including this one by Laura van Arendonk Baugh. Yes, you have heard of her: I’ve raved about her short stories
Book Review | Paris Adrift by E J Swift
Paris Adrift is probably the best time travel book I’ve read so far this decade. I don’t often say things like this, but it gripped me. I must check out the other time related books I got from Storybundle in
Book Review | The Body in the Zero Gee Brothel
The Body In The Zero Gee Brothel is a novella (or ‘novelette’ according to the publisher) by Cameron Cooper, the first in a series of tales about a private law enforcer called Ptolemy Lane. I think I’d call it noir
Book Reviews | Rules of Conflict/Law of Survival (Jani Kilian #2+3)
Rules of Conflict is book 2 in a series with a prequel, so it’s the third I’ve read and reviewed! As usual, my first task is to get to grips with who Jani Kilian is and what her world is
Book Review | Untamed Shore by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Untamed Shore came to me in a Storybundle. I usually get scifi or fantasy, and sometimes expand my mind a little by getting collections from international authors. So when I started reading this book, I was expecting something like Mexican
Book Review | Free-Wrench by Joseph R. Lallo @jrlallo
Free-Wrench has been on my TBR since 2016, and I kept meaning to read it. What a treat this turned out to be! Even better, it’s the first in a series of six. I seem to have the second on
Book Review | Encrypted by Lindsay Buroker @GoblinWriter
Encrypted is the first of a pair of fantasy adventures by Lindsay Buroker. Set in the same universe as the Emperor’s Edge series, this is heavily endowed with cryptography and clean romance. I got both Encrypted books in a Storybundle,
Book Review | Among the Stars @KristineRusch
Among the Stars is a space opera theme anthology from Fiction River. There aren’t many stories in this anthology, compared with say, Rhonda Parrish‘s or Third Flatiron, or even the IWSG, so it’s a quick read of quick reads. This
A #Storybundle of Book Reviews | Three first in series
Three first in series books take up my review spot today. One way of catching up with the titles read before the year ends. These have all been on my TBR list for a while, and mostly from the excellent
Book Review | Jaydium by Deborah Wheeler
Jaydium makes it two scifi books in a row, at least as far as reviews goes. This was a Storybundle offering from last summer. I don’t think I’ve had a dud one yet from Story bundle, although of course, some
Book Review | Spotted Lily by Anna Tambour
Spotted Lily arrived on my Kindle in a Storybundle group in July 2015. I think I should group the Storybundles for that date on my To Read list to see what it has in common with the others. Possibly ‘weird’.
Book Review | Datura by Leena Krohn
Datura is a weird book. I mean that in a good way – it fits into the subgenre of Fantasy/scifi of ‘weird’. Leena Krohn is an award-winning Finnish author, but much of the time this story could be set in
Spacetime Reading Challenge 2nd update #spacetimereads
Hi there, Spacetime Reading Challenge buddies! It’s halfway through the year – so how are you doing? My Spacetime Reading Challenge progress I’m at 7 out of my target of 10 (Interstellar Explorer). I feel I’m not reading enough scifi
