Book Review: The Magicians

October 10, 2014

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

Book Review: Stories of Your Life and Others

September 20, 2014

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

Book Review: Ready Player One

August 24, 2014

I was in Lincoln, Nebraska for over two weeks during the roller skating National Championships.  It is a long time to be away from home, and I read through all of the books I had brought with me a few days after arriving.  Luckily, Lincoln has some awesome used book stores, and I was able … More Book Review: Ready Player One

Book Review: Dawn (Xenogenesis Book #1)

August 24, 2014

Dawn by Octavia E. Butler was chosen as the July book pick for the Sword & Laser book club.  I’d never read any of her works before, but I’d heard good things, so I was excited.  I’m happy to say that this story did not disappoint. Can we talk about this cover for a minute? Like, … More Book Review: Dawn (Xenogenesis Book #1)

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 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: 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
