Martin, which I reviewed on Thursday Saturday, and Magic is Dead by Ian Frisch, which I will review on this coming Thursday (maybe). I read Fevre Dream for the Book … Continue reading Sunday Salon, 7/14/19

Review ~ Fevre Dream
Fevre Dream by George R. R. Martin When struggling riverboat captain Abner Marsh receives an offer of partnership from a wealthy aristocrat, he suspects something’s amiss. But when he meets the hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York, he is certain. For York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one … Continue reading Review ~ Fevre Dream

Down the TBR Hole 22
This is a meme started by Lia at Lost in a Story. The “rules” are: Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf. Order on ascending date added. Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course, if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last … Continue reading Down the TBR Hole 22

Read & Reading I was overcome by readathon insanity on Friday and signed up for the Book Junkie Trials. Yeah, this happens occasionally. So, I’ve pretty much doubled the number of books I was going to read in July. We’ll see how it goes. This week in addition to daily The Count of Monte Cristo … Continue reading Sunday Salon, 6/30/19

The Book Junkie Trials Readathon
I’m late-ish arriving at this readathon/challenge which I heard about from Liz @ Travel in Retrospect. All the details can be found at Rachael Marie Book Junkie’s post video or on Twitter or via this comprehensive Google docs folder. The fun part? A little personality quiz to figure out which team I’m on and which … Continue reading The Book Junkie Trials Readathon

Review ~ Conjure Times
Conjure Times: The History of Black Magicians in America by James Haskins & Kathleen Benson Throughout American history, black magicians have achieved great skill in both the magician’s tricks of the trade as well as the psychology of entertaining an audience. However, because of slavery and, later, racial segregation and discrimination, few have been able … Continue reading Review ~ Conjure Times

The Black Cat, No. 9, June 1896
Welcome to the No. 9 issue of The Black Cat and the Black Cat Project! Thankfully, this month’s issue annoyed me a lot less than the last. I guess that’s what happens when I don’t have to deal with a racial invective in the very title of a story. Stories “The House Across the Way” … Continue reading The Black Cat, No. 9, June 1896

Sunday Salon, 6/23/19
Read & Reading Kind of had a terrible week progress-wise on everything. PMS does this to me sometimes. Just rotten, rotten brain fog. But, I’m feeling much better now. Didn’t finish reading anything aside from the June 1896 issue of The Black Cat. I should finish Conjure Times today with a thought to review it Tuesday-ish. … Continue reading Sunday Salon, 6/23/19

Read & Reading I did indeed finish The History of Soul 2065 and reviewed it on Friday. While at the library last week I also read a slim volume of humorous poems titled Love Poems (for Married People). I might do a short review with it and a few other things this upcoming week, if … Continue reading Sunday Salon, 6/16/19
