Book Review: By Divine Right, by Patrick W. Carr
“By Divine Right,” the prequel to a longer series, starts out with a wonderful little mystery about the main character, Willet, then segues into a detailed description of the town — a little *too* detailed for my tastes, but hang in there, the story picks up after that in an entirely readable fantasy detective fashion. The … Continue reading Book Review: By Divine Right, by Patrick W. Carr →

Your Hoard: How to Care for Your Books
When I was a fledgling my wonderful mama taught me a lot about cleaning, but I do not recall a lesson about how to care for your books. Dishes, bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry, cooking—yes. Books? No. Maybe it was obvious to her. Or maybe she was so busy enjoying her stacks and boxes of books that … Continue reading Your Hoard: How to Care for Your Books →

I was just talking about … Continue reading Movies Made From Books We Love →

The Great Cover-Up
The Great Cover-Up is one of my favorite features to do. Great book covers, wonderful typography, amazing design — and when it comes on a book, it’s a win-win situation. I think the first cover I recall really falling in love with was the one Michael Whelan did for To Green Angel Tower by Tad … Continue reading The Great Cover-Up →
