You know The Book Smugglers are my very favorite book bloggers, right?
And so naturally I was happy for them when Thea and Ana got asked to write a weekly review for Kirkus?
Well, it turns out I had an extra reason to be happy about this, though I didn’t know it at the time, because for their second Kirkus column, they wrote this list.
Which I know got mentioned in the comments below a previous po...

| This book has very clever use of language, very clever details all through. I laughed out loud at some of the most unexpected lines. It is reminiscent of THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH, which is the impression I’d gained from reading reviews, but I wasn’t as...more | |

| THE SCORPIO RACES was the outstanding book of my recent reading, because you totally fall right into the story. I didn’t know much about it before going in, but it turns out to be much more a contemporary fantasy than I’d expected. With just one fant...more | |

| Just read RA MacAvoy's new book, DEATH AND RESURRECTION. I really enjoyed it! Really! MacAvoy hasn't forgotten how to write! I really liked Ewen (the main character) and the secondary characters were well drawn. I enjoyed how MacAvoy made one police...more | |

a) I wish I’d written this book, and b) I’m not sure I’m going to want to read anything else for a while. What could measure up? THE GIRL OF FIRE AND THORNS, by Rae Carson, is a YA fantasy. I’ve read lots of those lately. How is this one set apart? Wel...more |

Keep up with the excellent writing." Thanks! " |

So, just read this omnibus of Valor's Choice and The Better Part of Valor, by Tanya Huff. Huff isn't an auto-buy author for me, or at least she never has been . . . I like her books okay, but I don't go seek them out. Well. A friend recommended the Val...more |

Well, plus I'm finishing a manuscript . . . I think by Wednesday. Probably. Maybe. Soon, anyway. Then, before revising, a break to tear into the growing To Be Read pile!
Of course; thanks for your request.I've just started to use Goodreads more, so I hope to start reviewing books here and reading other members' reviews . . . any day now, as soon as I have time!
