Book View Cafe Wild Rumpus... er, New Bookstore Launch

For
lo, these many months, the elves at Book View Café, beloved spouse
among them, have been laboring to transform the ebookstore into
something elegant and user-friendly, in which browsing means discovered
very cool new books as well as old out-of-print favorites. Now it's done
and up and we want all our friends/n/relations to celebrate with us.

To
that end, we're giving our readers a chance to... read more »

Deborah Ross gave to: The Mystery of Grace by Charles de Lint	My rating:
Not a "big" novel, but a sweet, lyrical fantasy. Heroine is a tattoed Latina car mechanic named Grace. She says: "Every time we make something out of nothing, that's an act of magic. It doesn't matter if it's a painting or a garden, or an abuelo telli...more

Deborah Ross gave to: The Jennifer Morgue (Laundry Files, #2) by Charles Stross	My rating:
In our house, all you have to say is, "I'm reading a Charlie Stross," as shorthand for "a wildly inventive, absorbing, thoughtful read." This follows THE ATROCITY ARCHIVES aka Cold War spy agencies with delusions of bureaucratic paperwork in Cthulu-L...more

Deborah Ross gave to: Night Kill by Ann Littlewood (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
Ann's a college friend and this is her debut novel from Poisoned Pen Press. She worked for years as a zoo keeper, and set her mystery, um, behind the bars. The animal stuff is way, way cool, and the story moves right along. No sf/f elements, but I su...more

Deborah Ross gave to: The Alchemist's Pursuit (Venice, #3) by Dave Duncan	My rating:
Effortless to read, full of color and texture (alternate Renaissance Venice), basically a mystery with way enjoyable scenery. For me, Duncan's work is a wonderful blend of experienced-pro skills and freshness of invention. Read his ILL MET IN THE ARE...more

Deborah Ross gave to: Dancing on the Head of a Pin (Remy Chandler, #2) by Thomas E. Sniegoski	My rating:
He's clearly not done with Remy Chandler, PI and Seraphim-in-exile, but I'm giving up. The world building doesn't work, the theology is crap, and the prose clanks and stutters. Even the way cool relationship between Remy and his Labrador, Marlowe, is...more

Deborah Ross gave to: Deathwish (Cal Leandros, #4) by Rob Thurman (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
Latest and perhaps last of the Cal/Nik Auphe series (whatever the real name is). I liked the earlier ones and this didn't let me down. Angst, martial arts, loyalty and betrayal, supernatural creatures, and an immensely satisfying ending.

Deborah Ross gave to: Living With Ghosts by Kari Sperring (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
Superior fantasy that drew me right in. Lyrical, flowing the prose. In some ways, the world-building reminds me of Sherwood Smith's INDA series with a bit of Chaz Brenchley thrown in. The ending could have been sentimental but was courageous instead....more
