Rain, rain, go away!

As you can probably guess, it's been raining nonstop here in Sydney. Which always sucks. It was so dark yesterday that it felt like night all day long. Now, that totally sucks! And it's not even winter yet. :/ Anyway. I spent most of yesterday napping, and reading. We've…

HEXBOUND by Chloe Neill

They say absolute power corrupts absolutely. But it turns out even a little bit of magic can turn you to the dark side. That's why Lily has to learn how to control her newly discovered abilities and quickly, on top of avoiding the snobs who think they run her school, nursing a crush o…

WARM BODIES by Isaac Marion

R is a young man with an existential crisis–he is a zombie. He shuffles through an America destroyed by war, social collapse, and the mindless hunger of his undead comrades, but he craves something more than blood and brains. He can speak just a few grunted syllables, but his inner life i…

Sometimes, zombies want more than just brains...

I've been in one of those craving-zombie-books-kinda mood lately. So I couldn't put it off any longer. Yesterday, I grabbed one off my bookshelf. It's called WARM BODIES by Isaac Marion . So far, it's an amazing take on the whole zombie apocalypse thing, and I'm …

HOUNDED by Kevin Hearne

Atticus O’Sullivan has been running for two thousand years and he’s a bit tired of it. After he stole a magical sword from the Tuatha Dé Danann (those who became the Sidhe or the Fae) in a first century battle, some of them were furious and gave chase, and some were secretly amused that a…

It's cold outside!

After enjoying some mild and very sunny days lately, a sudden change in the weather is a rude shock! Yesterday, out of nowhere, a lovely morning turned into a yucky afternoon. And this morning, it's super cold and windy. At least it's not raining anymore. :/ I feel bad for my …

Good morning!

In spite of a very late night--hubby and I got caught up in watching Q&A  because it turned out to be a very interesting episode--and feeling like crap when I opened my eyes at 5AM this morning, I now feel refreshed. Why? Well, I just finished a yoga workout. For some reason, as …

New Week, New Goal...

Hey! How's everyone doing today? Can you believe we made it past 6pm, Saturday night? ;) Seriously, the idiot who stirred up so much crap about the world ending this past weekend should go into hiding. What a tool! Oh well. It made for some very entertaining and funny tweets. …

RIP Randy "Macho Man" Savage

Thanks for the many--wrestling--childhood memories...

WILD GHOST CHASE by Ericka Scott

Two reality-show ghost-busting teams versus one haunted house. The first team to successfully exorcise the spirits wins the renewal of their television contract. It sounds like a pretty straight-forward competition, but something or someone at Harrington House has another agenda. …

Another Friday...

And this week feels like it's gone a little faster than usual. Not sure why, but it sure sped by. Yikes! Is it just me, or do the weeks seem to be moving a little faster than usual? And according to Twitter, the world is going to end on Saturday. Uh. WTF? Seriously? Where's th…

Check it out!

As you can probably tell, I've once again changed my website template. After all of the problems I had with Blogger last week, the template I had refused to go back to normal... at the same time, I decided that having a 3-column template made everything a little too cluttered. I h…

Guest Interview: Madeleine Roux

Today, I'm very excited to have a guest interview with Madeleine Roux, the author of Allison Hewitt Is Trapped . I loved this book so much, I just had to know more about her. ;) Hi Madeleine, and thanks so much for taking the time out to answer some of my questions. 1). I'm a h…

CLAN RATHSKELLER by Kevin Hearne

This is a free short story that takes place ten months before the events of "Hounded", the first book in the Iron Druid Chronicles, coming 2011 from Del Rey. This short story is a prequel to HOUNDED, so I was very interested in checking it out. And it didn't disappoint, be…

Happy New Week!

Well, it's already Tuesday, but it's still pretty new, right? ;) So. Y'know how I was complaining about the shitty weather last week? On Sunday, the sun finally returned and the temperature was actually quite warm. It was lovely, and we decided to go for a really nice, lo…

DIE FOR ME by Amy Plum
