So, this is just a quick pop-in to share a few favorite from the past couple weeks. Hopefully, I will be … Continue reading Reading Roundup #87: Better Than Reality
After a busy year, I'm finally getting some down time, and it feels lovely. For the first few days, as my body finally realized it had permission to crash, I mostly napped and watched Remington Steele episodes.

Well, it's happened: I've fallen into obsession with another long series. I tried to pace myself with the Vorkosigan books — I really did!! — but somewhere around last Friday I lost all control, and here we are, three full books and three short stories later, and with no sign of slowing down. I did … Continue reading Reading Roundup #79: Here I Go Again

This week, all of our characters are fighting for what they need, whether it's love, survival, or simply a sense of purpose. Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch: … Continue reading Reading Roundup #78: Something More
