So, this is a day late, but I have the winner for the The Shackled Scribes giveaway!
Congratulations Sue S. you win a copy of The Shackled Scribes and a ten dollar Amazon gift card!
I’ll need you to either comment with your email, this will not be posted to the blog, or send me an email at the address listed in the review request page. I look forward to hearing from you!
So, since I’m a bit more active again, I went back through all of my old reviews and added a new category to all the ones that I’d actually given an out of five score to. That’s going to be up at the top of review posts in the “filed under” section with other things like genre and sub-genre. This is mostly for my own use, but if you guys are interested in what kinds of stuff gets what reviews it might be worth a click.
I’m also looking at reviewing some of the comic trades I’ve been reading lately. So that’s like all three of the Jem books and the first Squirrel Girl. Nothing that’s really new new, but it’s fun and I’m going to read them anyway. Might as well, right?
And, last thing for the moment, are there any serious opinions on if I revisited that idea from way back to review some nostalgia books? It would be mostly my nostalgia, so anything from Nancy Drew to stuff I found at the library sale to some of the Dragonriders of Pern books. I just kind of want to throw that out there again because looking back it seemed like a fun idea.
Anyway, any ideas or suggestions, feel free to comment!
So, I’m still working on getting things sorted and the blog up and running regularly again. There is no denying that, so I’m just going to roll with it.
I’ve got a review for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child coming up soon, hopefully the next couple of days, but my internet is going to be spotty for a bit. Bear with me on that. I’m aware that spoilers were posted before the book came out, but I’m still trying to avoid them in my review, that’s part of why it’s taking so long.
There are a few more reviews in the works, those will be up in short order. I’m trying to get to where I can do one a week again, plus other posts about related things. If anyone has ideas on what kind of content they’re interested in, feel free to comment and let me know. I’m still tossing ideas around on my end of things.
This is a couple of days late because of work stuff, but I have a winner for the The Left-Hand Path giveaway.

You’ll usually find me in my writing cave, surrounded by my dragon collection
and the characters in my head. I also enjoy reading–mostly young adult
novels–as well as drawing, painting, and quilting. I also attend writing
conferences, walk with my husband, and enjoy music and dance of all kinds.

Alright, I’ve got another giveaway for you guys, Adam Christopher’s The Burning Dark and The Machine Awakes. These books both sound like awesome sci-fi goodness with humanity venturing ever further into space, terrifying machine aliens, and multilayer conspiracies set to make things so much worse.
So, standard question for entry: Tell me about the sci-fi you love. Do you prefer David Weber style military hard sci-fi or Ann Aguirre style soft sci-fi? Who’s your author of choice?
The usual rules are in effect. One winner from the US or Canada will be announced next Tuesday the 28th and will have three days to respond with a current email address. If the winner doesn’t respond after three days a new winner will be chosen. The winner will be picked using a random number generator.
I’m considering going back and rereading some of the books that I liked back in middle school and seeing how I feel about them now. It’d be kind of like a review but full of spoilers and general talking about the thing and how I think it could have been better.
If I do this then my first book on the list would probably be Silver Ravenwolf’s Witches’ Night Out, mostly because I found it second hand a couple months ago and figured that I’d see if it stood up to nostalgia.
Alright, I gave her a couple of extra days because I was late with the announcement, but I haven’t heard back from Loverofbooks. That said, Antane is the new winner!
Alright, I’m more than a little late posting this, and for that I am sorry, but we have a winner!
Loverofbooks, please email me your mailing address to receive your copy of The Exile.
