Mogsy’s Favorite Romance Book

Posted on November 12, 2013 Leave a Comment

Master of Crows by Grace Draven While I’ve been known to enjoy an element of romance in my reading, I’m not sure if the actual Romance genre is my cup of tea. Harlequin novels or the type of books featuring their heroines’ steely-eyed, bare-chested and six-pack-bedecked love interests on their covers just aren’t generally my […]

Mogsy: A Book That Makes You Happy

Posted on July 11, 2013 Leave a Comment

Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi John Scalzi’s books generally make me happy. I can always count on them to make me laugh (the man can write gruesome death scenes at the hands of merciless aliens and still make them heeeelarious) and they often end well. A re-imagining of H. Beam Piper’s Little Fuzzy, Scalzi’s Fuzzy […]

Mogsy: Favorite Quote From A Favorite Book

“It’s a truism in policing that witnesses and statements are fine but nothing beats empirical physical evidence. Actually it isn’t a truism because most policemen think the word empirical is something to do with Darth Vader, but it damn well should be.” — Peter Grant Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch (BiblioSanctum Review)

Mogsy: A Book That Makes You Sad

Posted on June 26, 2013 Leave a Comment

11/22/63 by Stephen King Can I take “Book that made me sad” to also mean “Book that made me bawl my friggin’ eyes out so hard that I couldn’t even see well enough to finish the last page”? If so, this would be it. 11/22/63 isn’t really that sad per se, but the […]

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 […]

I’m not necessarily a fan of historical fiction, or of the Arthurian legend, but a friend recommended this to me and I ended up loving the book so much that I bought the entire series and have read it twice. The Warlord Chronicles is the story of King Arthur, as told in the first person […]

Mogsy: A Book That I’ve Read More Than Three Times

Posted on June 5, 2013 Leave a Comment

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien Okay, I’m going to cheat a little for this question. The thing is, I don’t typically reread books. If I were to read a book again, it would be a book that I love, and generally books that I love, I remember very, very well, and that’s why rereading isn’t […]
