I took a little hiatus from TBR Challenge last year. An unintentional one since I did actually sign up in 2017. But then I decided I might try to write a book. Ha. Ha ha. Anyway I’m back now! And the first book of the TBR Challenge year was a great one. I picked up
Last week I posted about my best reads of 2016. This week I thought I’d share a few books that I am VERY excited about reading in 2017. Some of these are part of on-going series so I’ll link both Goodreads, pre-order details where available and a link to the first book of the
Last January, I set out to read 100 books off my TBR pile. And guess what? I did it! I still have 662 on it, but whatever, let’s just ignore that. I also read a ton of aliens, shifters and cyborgs, none of which actually made it onto this list because I think if I

Set in the paranormal Victorian world of KJ Charles’ Charm of Magpies series, Rag & Bone is the follow-up novel to A Queer Trade, a novella that appeared in the Charmed & Dangerous anthology last year. In A Queer Trade, we were introduced to Ned, a working class man who buys used paper in bulk
At the end of last year I got a little jealous of everyone doing their Best of 2015 posts. I read a lot and I don’t always review what I read. Plus I’ve never really kept track of books I like best except for a handful of perennial favorites. So I thought this year I
Iron & Velvet, the first book in the Kate Kane, Paranormal Investigator series, is an f/f urban fantasy and a campy romp of a book. The cast is large, the mystery quite plotty and the dry, noirish witticisms utterly hilarious. While done up Sam Spade style, what Iron & Velvet most reminds me of is
Have you ever tried to read for 24 out of 48 hours in a single weekend? It’s not as easy as I assumed it would be! This is the second time I’ve participated in the 24 in 48 Readathon and I haven’t yet managed to hit the 24 hour mark. I managed 18 this time,
