I have encyclopedias that need a new home. A home that will love it as much as I do.

Review: Tiger Burning Bright
HOW HAVE I NOT REVIEWED THIS ALREADY. I feel like an idiot. I realized the other week, I haven't reviewed this one!! So I have to do this: Tiger Burning Bright by three of the most amazing women authors ever Andre Norton, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and Mercedes Lackey. I first picked up this book from… Continue reading Review: Tiger Burning Bright
Writing: Science Fiction Evolution
I am reading some classic science fiction (Foundation Triology) and have found an understanding why I didn't enjoy science fiction as much as fantasy when I was younger. There is a trend in the genre to be plot, world, and science focused with characters only being a carrier for these things to be explored. Asimov,… Continue reading Writing: Science Fiction Evolution
Review: Never Have Your Dog Stuffed: And Other Things I’ve Learned
Anyone who reads my book reviews has probably noticed a dearth of non-fiction. I don't read much of it. I generally read for escapism and reading something real isn't escape. There are exceptions to this rule. Alan Alda is a fun actor. I've known of him pretty much my entire life - mostly from M.A.S.H.… Continue reading Review: Never Have Your Dog Stuffed: And Other Things I’ve Learned
Review: Diving Universe
So my general rule has always been to avoid reviews until I have read an entire series. The problems come when a series is begun, but incomplete. The author has more to write. Do I review or not? Well, I think I have decided if I have read all available published in a series, I… Continue reading Review: Diving Universe
Review: Things Fall Apart
I picked up this book several years ago and put it on my “to read” shelf with great gusto. And promtly forgot about it. I wish I had read it sooner. Hell, if I was a high school English teacher, this would be part of my curriculum. It is good. I can see why it’s… Continue reading Review: Things Fall Apart
Review: Black Jewels Trilogy
This is not my normal fare of fantasy. These three books by Anne Bishop; Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows, Queen of the Darkness. They are borderline romantic, without the erotic elements most romance novels feature. Reading these three books, it felt like I got dropped into a world without a lot of… Continue reading Review: Black Jewels Trilogy
Review: Book of a Thousand Days
Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale is written like a diary, the entries numbered by days. The story itself is an interesting melding of eastern and western fantasy. I like that the world isn't a direct correlation to Chinese or Japanese imperialism. At least not anything so directly recognizable. The plot is such a… Continue reading Review: Book of a Thousand Days
Review: Three Cups of Tea
Three Cups of Tea: One man's mission to Promote Peace... One School at a Time has taken me about three years to read. It was my toilet book and for a very long time, I would look at it feel utterly intimidated by it, so I would read and re-read the first chapter or two.… Continue reading Review: Three Cups of Tea
Review: The Belgariad
My brother gave me these books by David Eddings when I was in middle school and they are an old favorite. With everything going on in the world, I have been struggling to read. This is breaking my heart, but it's true. My brain just can't process new things from books right now. New worlds… Continue reading Review: The Belgariad
