If you have a readathon coming up, like the April Dewey 24 Hour Readathon, it would behoove you to put Amy Plum’s After The End on your stack, if you have it in your possession. After The End has all the hallmarks of a perfect readathon book: first chapters, exciting story, consistent action, and a relatively short […]
Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch | Book Review
April 22, 2014
Reading two books from an epic fantasy series that is not on my review copy TBR in one month feels like a giant indulgence.

I began reading City Of Jasmine […]

Rome, Crownover’s third book in the series, showcases the fact that the Marked Men just get better and better with each addition to the series. This is the story of Cora, […]
