Hayes’ debut Imaginary Corpse, which was only published last week, absolutely blew me away when I got the chance to read it, and I’ve barely shut up about it since. Angry Robot, who published it, caught wind of my flailing and asked if I might like to do an interview with Mr Hayes? OF COURSE […]
Another week has rolled around, which means another set of wonderful books are launching tomorrow! (And hey – does anyone know why books tend to be published on Tuesdays??? What’s up with that?) This week there’s only three releases I’m looking forward to, but they all sound like there’s going to be awesome! From Cate […]
Gods above, this was one incredible ride! I finished it in just under 24 hours – and it only took me that long because I had to break for Monday’s workday. But Imaginary Corpse is pretty literally unputdownable. My mind is so blown. Imaginary Corpse is the book I didn’t know I wanted. No: didn’t […]
Continuing on from last week, another list of amazing-sounding books out this month! These are all, in fact, being released tomorrow, so there’s still time to pre-order them.

I have yet to find out why, but I noticed years ago that March and September both seem to be major months for fantasy releases. Since March is my birthday, I’m not complaining in the least, and this September promises to be especially epic! So this month’s Must-Have Monday posts will be dedicated to keeping […]
Things have been a little quiet around here, but that just means there’s a lot to catch-up on! Let’s get started, shall we? Some personal news first: I went to WorldCon! It was wonderful and a little overwhelming; I really wish I’d been able to go with a friend, as was the original plan. But […]
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog! Today’s TTT is about tropes! A trope is defined as a commonly used theme or plot device, and honestly I hear the term more often used in context of […]
I received this book for free from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I closed this book just a few seconds ago as I type this, and my head is pounding about as hard as my […]
