Although I managed to finish several short books in an epic one-day reading binge shortly before Thanksgiving, I seem to have gotten quite far behind in reviewing them. The first book I managed to finish reading, but the last I’ve managed to review, was the November Sword & Laser book club choice – Do Androids … More Book Review: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
I’d heard a lot of good things about Patrick Rothfuss’s Kingkiller Chronicles series before I read it last year, and at this point I know I’m probably going to be a Rothfuss fan for life. So when his new novella, The Slow Regard of Silent Things, came out I snapped it up immediately. The Slow … More Book Review: The Slow Regard of Silent Things
Ok, so a few months ago I reviewed the BurdaStyle Wardrobe Essentials book, and came to the conclusion that I probably didn’t really need the dress book, but I somehow ended up getting a copy anyway. Amazon informed me that my order would arrive March 9, 2015, the product page states that the book will … More Book Review: BurdaStyle Modern Sewing: Dresses for Every Occasion
When Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus was chosen as the December Sword & Laser book pick, I was curious – I hadn’t heard anything about it before ordering my copy. I was expecting something different from the usual castles and wizards, and what I got was a fantastically unique world that didn’t disappoint. I often order … More Book Review: The Night Circus
I read Brandon Sanderson’s first Legion novella when it first came out a few years ago, and totally fell in love with Stephen Leeds and his amusing assortment of “aspects.” So to say I was ecstatic when a sequel was announced is a bit of an understatement. I preordered Legion: Skin Deep as soon as I was … More Book Review: Legion: Skin Deep
When the October book for the Sword and Laser book club was announced I was quite excited – it sounded fun and interesting and different. And to some extent it was, but in other ways it felt very similar to many young adult novels I have read in the past. Alif the Unseen by G. Willow … More Book Review: Alif the Unseen
By this point it should be fairly apparent to anyone who has seen my blog that I am pretty much a Burda fangirl. So when I heard about the release of the latest book in the BurdaStyle collection, BurdaStyle Modern Sewing: Wardrobe Essentials, I was rather excited and pre-ordered it right away. This was, unfortunately, … More Book Review: BurdaStyle Modern Sewing: Wardrobe Essentials
I’d heard a lot of things about Lev Grossman’s The Magicians. It’s good, it’s not good, it’s exciting, it’s boring. People told me it was the sort of book you either love or you hate. Sword and Laser had chosen it as a book pick a while ago, and SyFy has recently optioned it for … More Book Review: The Magicians
This is another book I’ve read as the result of a Sword and Laser book club pick. It is the first time they’ve chosen a collection of short stories, so it was a nice change of pace from the more typical tomes that can double as bug-crushers. The tales in Stories of Your Life and Others by … More Book Review: Stories of Your Life and Others
Although I haven’t been doing much selfish sewing this year (and any plans I may have formulated in January are so far out the window it’s hard to believe they were ever in the house), one thing I have managed to keep up with is the reading for the Sword & Laser book club. August has … More Book Review: Redshirts
