Happy 100th Post Giveaway!

That is correct, you have indeed read properly. I have made 100 entries on this website. Not all of them have been reviews as I had initially pictured, but have been so much more as they have transformed and grown with my reviewer process. I have made it through a goal to read 75 books in one year. I have made connections with multiple authors and gotten the opportunity to expand my blog into interviews. I have become what I hope is a useful reviewer to the amazing Netgalley system.

 Now, I want to get anyone who missed out on this amazing series a chance to indulge in the steampunk goodness of Holmes revitalization. Up for grabs is the first book in the Baskerville Series, A Study in Silks. You can catch my review over here for more inspiration on this fabulous series starter.



It starts at Midnight and continues through the rest of the month, so get tallying some points for your free copy! The winner will be announced on July 1st.

UPDATE: The winner has been chosen and announced. Thanks so much for participating in my giveaway. I will do another one when at my next centennial. Here is to reading 100 more books!!

    This book is one of my favorites, especially since there are 2 more to feast on. I would love to win it and pass in on to my daughter, she and I share a passion for reading and Emma Jane is one of the best writers I've ever read. Good luck to all and if you don't win, buy the series. You'll be entertained from the very first page to the last I promise.

The most mind-boggling book I've ever read

... and the mind-boggled review to go with it. This book was the most unique reading experience I have ever had in decades of reading. Assassin Queen by Anna Kashina This week we have the final novel of the "Majat Code" trilogy. I previously reviewed the first and second novels and have read a short companion novella as well. Some may recall me raving about the first novel and being slightly disappointed about the turn of the second novel. The novella was more in tune with Blades of the Old Empire  and added to the hype for The Guild of Assassins . So with the letdown from the latter book, why did I get the third? More importantly, how did I feel about it? Redeemed and exacerbated. How can you feel both of those at once? That is the mystery of the third novel of the "Majat Code." There were some extremely awesome, butt-kicking scenes reminiscent of "Blades," and the romance from "Guild" was still included. I was excited and disappoint

Welcome to February everyone. Hope you have all unburied from the snowmagedpocalypse readers in the Northeast. Just in time for some new powder to flurry down and send you back indoors to read my reviews on what to read to get you through the winter doldrums. Today we certainly have just that. The Custodian of Marvels by Rod Duncan And my world has been righted! We are back with Elizabeth Barnabus as she was in The Bullet-Catcher's Daughter. I'm all tingly. Not that Unseemly Science  was a complete let down; I just really feel that the magic (or circus dust?) wasn't there from the first novel. Apparently that is because it all built up and got swept to this novel.  We have the original troupe together for some Ocean's Eleven shenanigans as they attempt to rob the International Patent Office (gasp for dramatic effect). The humor and wit have returned to the original level because everyone knows all about best laid plans. While I like Julia, her relegation back to

Uncanny Collateral by Brian McClellan

Image
I have recently been watching a group of authors playing D&D on Twitch (the group is called TypecastRPG ) because of Charlie Holmberg. As I have watched, I decided to start reading books by the other authors. I started with Brian McClellan's new book Uncanny Collateral .  The premise is urban fantasy--not my ideal fantasy category, though I do love Buffy so it seemed like a worthy try. A reaper seeks out those who have sold their souls to the underworld. Interesting enough. Add to that the reaper has a mystical ring stuck to his finger that houses a djinn. My interest continued to mount. I take points off for the author basing the book in Cleveland, but add points back for the armpit jokes that only an Ohioan can understand. I didn't appreciate the profanity, but it is an urban fantasy so it wasn't surprising. The actual storytelling more than makes up for it, though. The snarkiness, the characters, the action; all terrifically written. I love the dynamics between
