Book, it’s not you, it’s me. Actually, to be honest...some of it is you. This book initially annoyed me with its conflation of mass and weight, but it was mostly just a boring new-kid-at-school young adult novel (or children's book, maybe). Most of the book is pretty dull, with the main character,...
"Low Midnight" is the first book in the Kitty Norville series that ISN'T about Kitty. We see everything in this book through Cormac Bennet's eyes. It was this fresh vision that I enjoyed most- The plot is slight but fun; a fairy-tale quest in order to win access to information about Roman and a sh...
A fun and interesting main character in a to-short fish out of water tale. This is standalone, but I'd devour another book about Polly if she does write a sequel. I'm not 100% sold on the ending, either in terms of how the plot is resolved or where we leave the protagonist, but whatever. If my big...
DNF @ 30%This is not holding my attention. I was excited to read it; the premise sounded awesome. Martians kids go to school on Earth. But, meh, it's the typical board school drama-rama, with the Earth kids and the instructors treating the off-world kids like crap. I thought the main character w...
If you would like to win a copy of this, stop by my main blog and leave a comment. --- I remember while growing up back in the 20th century that SF was fun. Maybe fun isn't the right word, but stick with me -- sure, the stories were serious, there were real stakes (usually), not every ending was hap...
I could happily have skipped this episode of Kitty. I felt a little like I'd entered the Underworld myself and mostly, I just wanted to leave. "Kitty In The Underworld" starts well, with Kitty enjoying her life and me enjoying listening to her interview a Vampire stripper on "The Midnight Hour". ...
"Wolfsbane and Mistletoe" is short story collection from well-known authors who have been asked to write stories with two elements to them: Werewolves and Christmas, an unusual combination that is meant to provoke some even more unusual tales. This is a re-read for me, to get me into the Christmas...
I really love Carrie Vaughn, and sci-fi, so when I heard her first big project post-Kitty was a classic sci-fi I was beyond excited! And there's lots to like about this book. Vaughn's geeky roots are showing, and it is a delight for someone like me who is also a huge space nerd. She clearly devoted ...
Anthology. Average rating is 3.52 stars. There were a few I skipped because of violence against children, there were a few stinkers but quite a few good ones so worth the read. 1. Wild ride by Carrie Vaughn. A lonely man finds out he's got a horrible disease and discovers a way to get a cure. Then h...
