I've pretty much given up on reviewing the books that I read, but now and again I'll come across something I have to talk about.

Such a book is The Silvered by Tanya Huff ( Read more... )

I used to post reviews of all the books I read, but at some point it became a chore; I would put it off, until I accumulated a stack of books I hadn't reviewed that I had trouble remembering the details of, which cluttered my desk and made me feel like a heel.  So I stopped doing it, and just put books I finished away on the shelf ( Read more... )

Now, to actually catch up with book reviews, today's is An Artificial Night by Seanan McGuire.

This is the the third book in the Toby Daye series.  It's a complete story, but it is part of a series, and it's easier to understand the characters if you start at the beginning with Rosemary and RueMy favorite thing about the Toby books from the start ( Read more... )

Today's book review is First Lord's Fury by Jim Butcher.

This is the sixth and (presumably) final book in the Codex Alera series.  They definitely need to be read in order, starting with Furies of CalderonA few weeks ago, I was a bad boy and bought a couple of books in hardcover instead of waiting for them to come out in paperback, after Larry ( Read more... )

Today's book review is Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs.

This is book 2.5 in the Alpha and Omega series (it starts with the novella "Alpha and Omega" in On the Prowl, and then goes into Cry Wolf).  It's a complete episode, but it would be better to know the characters already ( Read more... )
