The Good, the Bad, and the Uncanny by Simon R. Green My rating: 4 of 5 stars It's always good to catch up with John Taylor and all the other colourful characters that live in the Nightside. In this instalment, John is hired by an elf who wants to get to the other side o…

Dead Things by Stephen Blackmoore My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow. I was in the mood for a gritty UF book, and that's exactly what I got. Awesome! Eric Carter is a necromancer. A shitty title, but hey, that's how he makes a living. And we get to see him in action right …

MERRY CHRISTMAS ! Have an awesome, safe festive season. :)

And although I don't feel like doing much, but sitting down on the couch to read and catch up on my Twitter feed, I've actually put together a to-do list.   There are a few things I'd like to get done today, before hubby gets home--including making  peanut butter choc-c…

Wild Card by Jamie Wyman My rating: 4 of 5 stars I picked this up for my Paperwhite last week and was very curious about the story. So I read it. ;) Catherine's soul doesn't belong to her. It belongs to the conniving goddess, Eris. For the last eight years, Eris has be…

Soulbound by Tessa Adams My rating: 5 of 5 stars I started reading this book on Friday afternoon, and have been engrossed in Xandra Morgan's world of witches, wizards, warlocks and the strong magic they wield ever since. Xandra is part of a powerful witchy royal family.…

I had some fun with Tags @     It's for my upcoming SFR book:

I get up super early with hubby every morning, and while we were having breakfast yesterday I noticed that the moon was huge and bright. So I decided to step outside on the balcony to take a picture of it. And that's when I noticed the moon had a friend. Turns out it was Jupiter b…

When mysterious new boy Ryan Westland shows up at her school Eden Anfield is intrigued. On the face of it, he's a typical American teenager. So how come he doesn't recognise pizza and hasn't heard of Hitler? What puzzles Eden most, however, is the interest he's taking i…

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13th!     Remember: Stay away from any machete-wielding, hockey mask-wearing, droopy-eyed silent types!   TGIF.

Dead Mann Walking by Stefan Petrucha My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow. Just wow. This book was awesome! I'd been looking forward to reading it for a while now, but for some reason it kept getting lost in my bookshelf. But this week, I dug it out and got stuck into it. Glad that I…

I have to admit that when it comes to going anywhere near shopping centres in December, I get a blinding headache. It's nuts out there! o.O   We don't decorate the house, either. We actually threw away our X-mas tree earlier this year, and don't plan to replace it. I lov…

Shapeshifted by Cassie Alexander My rating: 5 of 5 stars OMG. I love this series! I enjoyed the first two books so much I was really looking forward to reading the third. And it didn't disappoint. Edie Spence is a nurse and since she was shunned--for her own safety--from …

I can't! Where has the year gone? Yikes. :/ As you can probably tell if you've dropped in during the last week, I've been catching up on some reading.   I've lost myself in a  bunch of new and familiar UF worlds, and even tackled a few classics. I actually finishe…

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum My rating: 5 of 5 stars It wasn't until this year that I realised there are many classic books I haven't read yet. So, I've decided to do something about it. A few weeks ago I watched an awesome episode of Supernatural…

Grave Secret by Sierra Dean My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really like this series, so I was looking forward to reading this book. After what Lucas did to her, Secret wants nothing to do with him. She's also keeping her distance from Desmond, though she misses him like crazy…

Binding the Shadows by Jenn Bennett My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love this series and couldn't wait to read the third book. But I'd been putting it off until I wrapped up my own UF series. As soon as I got started, I was hooked! Arcadia has plenty of good things in…

My rating: 5 of 5 stars I pre-ordered this book shortly after really enjoying the blurb. I mean, I couldn't resist this: "The job was simple: decapitate the zombie, get paid, get out. Warlock Marcus Shifter followed the plan perfectly. The corpse, however, did not."   …

Remember how I mentioned that the first two RECAST books were going to be released in one print volume? Well, here's the fantastic cover:      Isn't it beautiful? I love how Kanaxa captured the mood of both stories and featured both Colt and Ace on the cover.   I L…

Yay. So excited!     Not only does this mean that I've won NaNoWriMo for the seventh time, but that the first draft of RECAST #4 is written and ready to be revised.

Wow. I can't believe I'm actually posting twice this week. But I just finished TORN FROM THE SHADOWS R2 edits. That's right! I started the week by completing my NaNoWriMo story , and am ending it by sending back second round edits. Yay.  :) I'm so excited. Both of…

Hey! You might have noticed that I was (yet again) MIA last week. But, like always, I have a reason. :P I was super busy adding words to my NaNoWriMo story .   Since I spent the first week of this month working on R1 edits for TORN FROM THE SHADOWS , I fell behind on writing. I me…
