Book Review: Promise of Blood

August 18, 2014

So I did quite a bit of reading while I was gone at nationals, and I’m trying to play catch up on my blog while I’m spending more time cleaning my sewing space than using it, and before work starts up again and life once again gets crazy full.  So expect to see a lot … More Book Review: Promise of Blood

Book Review: The Words of Radiance

August 9, 2014

Brandon Sanderson has become one of my favorite authors over the past few years.  Although I enjoy all of his works, I really look forward to his long epic fantasies.  He is fantastic at creating fascinating worlds and unique magic systems.  So I had very much been looking forward to returning to Roshar in the … More Book Review: The Words of Radiance

Book Review: The Martian

May 10, 2014

Well, the bad news is I have a cold.  And thus I haven’t been sewing much.  I am very behind on my commission schedule.  The good news is that, being sick, I didn’t feel too guilty about taking a day of rest.  Of course, I was planning on sleeping, but I kept waking up because … More Book Review: The Martian

Book Review: One Thousand Paper Cranes

May 8, 2014

After forcing my way through A Dance of Cloaks, I wanted to pick up something quick and good.  My sister has a pile of “books she thinks I need to read” growing in my room, so I thought I would start to whittle it down.  I decided a nice start would be Takayuki Ishii’s One … More Book Review: One Thousand Paper Cranes

Book Review: A Dance of Cloaks

May 5, 2014

Although I have been super busy I somehow managed to finish the April Sword & Laser book pick, A Dance of Cloaks by David Dalglish. Despite the fairly high page count (around 450 pages, depending on the version), it was actually a very quick read.  And that, unfortunately, is about all I can say in favor … More Book Review: A Dance of Cloaks

Book Review: Altered Carbon

April 3, 2014

Despite felling like I haven’t had any time to do anything lately, I somehow managed to finish the Sword & Laser Book Club March book pick – Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan. Altered Carbon is a futuristic science fiction noir-ish detective novel.  It follows Takeshi Kovacs, an off-world criminal/detective with militaristic Envoy training, as he attempts … More Book Review: Altered Carbon

Book Review: Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

March 2, 2014

As I may have mentioned, I have been recovering from the flu, and thus have been reading a way more than normal.  I hadn’t the focus for anything too drawn out or too serious, so I thought I would pick up an old Sword & Laser book pick – Down and Out in the Magic … More Book Review: Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

Book Review: The Lies of Locke Lamora

February 25, 2014

It is probably all too obvious based on the number of recent book review posts that I am dealing with the flu.  Which was fine during the Olympics – online replays left me thoroughly entertained – but afterwards I turned to my big stack o’ books to fill the hours.  It is one of those … More Book Review: The Lies of Locke Lamora

Book Review: The Hunger Games Trilogy

February 21, 2014

When The Hunger Games first came out I was interested – I had heard a lot of favorable reviews on the internet.  So I picked it up and looked at the cover description in a bookstore and was immediately incensed.  Unfortunately for Suzanne Collins, I had just finished reading Battle Royale by Koushun Takami, which I obsessively loved, … More Book Review: The Hunger Games Trilogy

Book Review: A Wizard of Earthsea

February 11, 2014

One of my reading goals for this year is to keep up with the Sword & Laser book club picks, in the hopes that I can find fantastic new fantasy and sci fi authors, and read more diverse picks from the genre.  The February book pick was A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin. … More Book Review: A Wizard of Earthsea
