It’s our second “Winter Wonderland” weekend in a row! This is not what we moved to Atlanta for at all. But it sure is pretty as long as one is on the inside while the blizzard is OUTSIDE. But it’s not completely outside as this picture of George certainly attests. The catio is fully screened […]
We’re supposed to be getting an ice storm today. So I’m probably huddled under a comforter with a good book and as many cats as I can get to cooperate. Not that cats are generally all that cooperative. OTOH, it could all blow over, or pass us by, or just not be, well, all that. […]
Unlike last week’s stack, there are some truly pretty covers this time around. Especially All the Tea in China, Daughters of the Sun and Moon, and Our Perfect Storm. There’s also some pretty creepy in Brimstone Hollow and The Museum of Unusual Occurrence. I definitely picked up You Had me at Bigfoot, while the books […]
This was a good reading week, even if a bit stressed out by the whole “having to move again” thing. C’est la vie. But we found a house! YAY! Whoopee! Now we just have to pack. And move. And unpack. C’est la vie all over again. This coming week’s schedule feels like a bit of […]
We’re moving. Again. Our landlord has decided to sell the house we’re living in, so we have to move. It’s been three years, and that makes this the longest we’ve lived in a dwelling since we moved in together back in 2001. We move a lot. But we weren’t quite ready to do so right […]
This week it looks like my cup runneth ridiculously over, doesn’t it? Tor sent me an eARC for the next book in L.E. Modesitt’s Recluce series, because I love his Imager Portfolio. The only problem is that I’ve never read the Recluce series. I just never got a round tuit. It’s time to rectify that, […]
Did you remember to “spring” your clocks forward last night? Or did they all do it for you? And why, oh why are we still fooling with this? Current Giveaways: $10 Book or $10 Gift Card in the March Book of Choice Giveaway Hop The Enemies of Versailles by Sally Christie Winner Announcements: The winner […]
This was a week that started well and petered out by the end. Just as I was planning to start Friday’s book, the Amazon Web Services glitch hit in a funny way. I could see all the many, many books in my kindle app, but the one I planned to read just wouldn’t download. That […]
Welcome to the post-ALA Midwinter Stacking the Shelves. And it’s a doozy. Back before the conference, I did my STS post really early, because I don’t get any blogging done during the conference. So a LOT of books piled up in those two weeks. And I saw a few things at the conference. I didn’t […]
I do three different “best of the year” lists in different contexts. This is my personal list, but…I also do a Best Ebook Romances of the year for Library Journal, and I’m one of the judges for the SFR Galaxy Awards, which is effectively a best SFR of the year list. So there are repeats. […]
