Authors: Robert Asprin, Eric Del Carlo and Teresa Patterson Book: No Quarter Genre: I’m going to say this one’s Crime Fiction Julia Rating: 10 Comments: Okay, so when I received this book from the friendly folks at Dark Star Books, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I certainly didn’t think it was going to be [...]
Here is the next on my list of gift suggestions for the upcoming holidays. Fantasy For those friends and family members who would be more at home digging around in a dragon’s cave, these are my recommended reads: – Hogfather or any other books by Terry Pratchett I reviewed the Hogfather in a previous post. This [...]
I’ll admit to not being the most consistent blogger in the world, but with the holidays coming up my mind has turned to books. They are (usually) a cheap and interesting present that people will appreciate – even if they don’t read them, a book will make them look more learned when displayed on the [...]
Author: John Scalzi Book: Old Man’s War Genre: Sci Fi Julia Rating: 10 Comments: Old Man’s War by John Scalzi is a well written Sci Fi adventure that made me look at old people from a new angle. The idea behind it is, if you are old (75 years to be exact), what would you [...]

Author: Carolyn Walker Book: Deadly Harvest Genre: Mystery/Murder Mystery Julia Rating: 7 Comments: This is the story of a female police detective moving to a small town where “nothing ever happens”, only to find murder, deceit and deadly intentions. At first, it reminded me of Hot Fuzz, with a hot-shot British cop moving to a [...]
I’m thinking of making October a month of Horror book reviews. What do you all think of this and does anyone have any books they recommend/want me to review? (Like have you seen a book and gone “I don’t know”? I’ll take the risk for you.)
Book: Darwin’s Children Author: Greg Bear Genre: Sci Fi Julia Rating: 8 Comments: Darwin’s Children is a Science Fiction book about evolution. When I say Science Fiction I mean that there is an educated human being writing it who is indeed very into the science of the whole situation. The only thing I did not [...]
