Going from reading YA books to adult books can go either one of two ways: A) OH MY GOSH WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING or B) do ALL adult books meander like this?! Unfortunately, The Traitor’s Daughter by Paula Brandon was a book that didn’t exactly have me clamoring and proclaiming about how much I had […]
Swordspoint Ellen Kushner Audiobook Review
October 14, 2012
I’m kind of on the fence about Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner. On the one hand, it breaks pretty new ground TO me in that a gay relationship is front and center in the book.

A spirited, smart mouthed main character! This is THE book for me, I can’t […]
