  • 30 in 30: Day 24 (A quote? how the hells am I supposed to choose just ONE?)

    Best quote from a novel Oh my goddess, we have so many contenders for this post. I simply can’t list just one, unless I wanted to be funny. Contrary to my usual nature, I wish to share quotes that actually mean something to me. So, from the very talented Jacqueline Carey and her quite astounding…

  • 30 in 30: Day 21 (more Kushiel spoilers, be warned)

The previous cover showed a profile shot of her, which had only part of the marque. (Also…I’m not too fond of her face…

  • 30 in 30: Day 03 (in which I review PORN — I mean, part of the Kushiel series)

    The best book you’ve read in the last 12 months This one is harder to answer because I’ve read fewer books in the past year than I usually have. (Yes, you read that right.) Most of the books I’ve read have been non-fiction, which usually means that I haven’t actually finished them yet. And I…
