Mary Robinette Kowal’s Ghost Talkers is a compulsive, affecting read. I read the whole book in two sittings because I just had to know what happened next in Kowal’s alternate version of World War I. Ghost Talkers opens in July of 1916. British, French, and German troops are bogged down in the trench...
The basic gist of this book is Jane Austen with magic, which pretty much sold me, and it's been on my TBR since its 2010 release. In the meantime, I've loaded up on Kowal's short fiction, which I love, and have been gobbling up her writing advice via her fab writing craft podcast, Writing Excuses. ...
It could easily be argued that I've said enough (if not too much) about Indexing. So I'm not going to talk about the story, the writing, and so on, beyond this: not listening to this episodically like I read it, highlights strengths and weaknesses. For example, it's minor, but the way she has to re-...
I really don't have much more to say about the audiobook that I didn't say about the original, but I wanted to get something up -- so if this seems largely familiar, it is. But not entirely ...

I'm sorry to say that Shades of Milk and Honey doesn't capture that magic either. This isn't to say that it's a bad book, it's an enjoyable read, but ...
I thoroughly enjoyed the story about Leah Tang's introduction to the wonderful and crazy world of the Genrenauts -- and it's sequel -- when I read it last November. When heading out for a road trip, I figured it'd be a good distraction from the road for my wife, son and I. It's a fun story, filled ...
I've written down my thoughts as I was reading this short story collection. Now that I'm finished I'm looking back at a great collection of short stories. There wasn't really a story I hated, most were good to very good and some really stood out. I don't usually read collections of short stories, bu...
I received this short story collection through NetGalley I love this author’s novels and I couldn’t pass up her short story collection when I saw it on NetGalley. The intro says that the stories are arranged in chronological order, and it’s fascinating to read them in that order, to witness the au...
