Tiara: Favorite Quote from Your Favorite Book
Posted on June 17, 2013 Leave a Comment
“In a way, her strangeness, her naiveté, her craving for the other half of her equation was the consequence of an idle imagination. Had she paints, or clay, or knew the discipline of the dance, or strings, had she anything to engage her tremendous curiosity and her gift for metaphor, she might have exchanged the […]

The Magicians’ Guild byTrudi Canavan Trudi Canavan is an author I’d been looking forward to read for a long time, which is why she’s pretty high on my list for the WWEnd Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge. Thanks to my book hoarding habits, I found that I actually own the first books from both […]
Book Review: Will in Scarlet by Matthew Cody

Will in Scarlet by Matthew Cody I really enjoy books about famous fictional heroes that aren’t actually about the famous fictional heroes. Will in Scarlet is a Robin Hood story told first and foremost through the eyes of the young lord, William Shackley. Later, the voice of Much, the miller’s daughter turned son, is added. […]

Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay I picked up this book because I love the series. The premise of a serial killer killing other serial killers was just too interesting to pass up. You actually root for Dex, even though you know that he’s the bad guy as well. The beginning of this book was […]

The books in the Kushiel Universe by Jacqueline Carey Oh whyyyyyyy, why must you make me choooooooose? This is the reason I’m always chafing at these kinds of “What’s your favorite ______?” questions. Whether it’s movies, songs, books, etc. I don’t know how anyone can name just one. I know I can’t. A book series […]
The Brian K. Vaughaning
Posted on June 12, 2013 Leave a Comment
This one time, I admitted that I had not read very much of Brian K. Vaughan’s comics. The result was a Twitter deluge of my friends – some of whom were in the midst of dealing with current issues of Saga – expressing their Brian K. Vaughan love and all the feels that he invokes in […]

What I’m Drinking: A personal blend of blood orange, ceylon sonata, and pomegranate for a tangy, tarty taste that I’ve named Bloodlust.
