I am down to the “hard” letters in my A-Z challenge on Goodreads. “Q” gave me Third Daughter (The Royals of Dharia #1), by Susan Kaye Quinn. Here is my review…

Teaser Tuesday: Aerisia: Land Beyond the Sunset
Aerisia begins in the real world and gets interesting with a stump. No, really! From the corner of the main character’s eye, this stump might be a bear, a wolf, a stray dog, a monk in flowing robes… Love the departure from the norm with that last item, and the setup for magic.
Book Review: Tuck, by Stephen R. Lawhead
I just finished reading “Tuck” by Stephen R. Lawhead. The “King Raven” series is one of the best retellings of the Robin Hood story I’ve ever read.
Teaser Tuesday: Tuck
So. Tuck, by Stephen R. Lawhead. Book three of the so-far amazing King Raven trilogy. It took far longer to finish book 2 than I planned—and then I remembered that I have to read a book a week to get through everything in my TBR stack. And, well, insomnia. At least it’s good for something! I think I enjoyed book 1 better, but only barely. I love the history, the setting, the very real situations, choices, and setbacks the characters face. There was a spot in Scarlet that had me surreptitiously teary… It’s funny, but when I’m all by myself […]
TBR Challenge Invitation
Ooh, the challenge of the TBR… Everyone knows what that little acronym means, right? TBR=To Be Read. Do you, dear readers, have a bunch of books on your shelf, your e-reader, or wish-list that you are just jonesing to read? I do. I always do! I popped over to ReadItForward to calculate how long it would take me to read all the books on my list (not even counting those on my bookshelf that I haven’t read yet!). And that’s: a) if I don’t acquire any more books, and b) if I read about one book per week. Clearly, I need […]
Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch…
My calendar says a book review is supposed to go in this spot. Oops? I’m reading a book! Actually, I’m reading three… And I’m writing! (True story!)
Teaser Tuesday: Children of Earth and Sky (2)
I am enjoying the depth of the setting. There are characters with story lines so different they couldn’t possibly cross. What, for instance, has the resentful new ambassador got to do with the orphaned, wannabe pirate raider girl? And what’s the duke going to do with the doctor? Or the artist? Of course, I must read on.
