Hullo, World.

 

Did you miss me? I’m sorry I told you to get lost three hours and forty-two minutes ago, but I wasn’t in my right mind. I had just opened my mailbox to find Private Arrangements waiting for me, and, of course, I had to read it. Now that I’ve read…

Not a Review: Grimspace

 

<A href=”http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fshawor-20%2F8005%2F66a857a6-555d-482f-b2f2-6ecd7242e025&Operation=NoScript”>Amazon.com Widgets</A> First off, a few warnings. Ann Aguirre has given me money. Not to review this book, but to make a promotional bookmark. Grimspace had been on my Must Read list for quite a while, and I was so eager to read it that I asked Ann to…

Wow.

 

Wow, Part 1: Demon NightI just finished the ARC of MelJean Brook‘s Demon Night that I won from Dear Author. I’m still gathering my thoughts on it–there’s a lot of plot, and backstory, and detail. I don’t know quite what I think of Demon Night but I am certain of…

Short & Sweet: The Not a Review eBook Round Up! (pt. 1)

 

I ought to get some blogging mileage out of the eBooks I’ve read. But, I’m lazy, and I procrastinate. Sometimes it just so difficult to put my completely arbitrary and fickle opinions in print. So here’s part 1 of a round up of eBooks I’ve read lately–Short and Sweet. Or,…

This is Not a Review: E-Books Ahoy!

 

Skin to Skin by Dionne GalaceDionne Galace (aka Bam of It’s Not Chick Porn) has been entertaining me for quite some time with her hilarious and highly-entertaining blog posts. So when her novella “Skin to Skin” came out, buying it was pretty much automatic. The woman is funny, and the…

This is Not a Review: Wired by Liz Maverick

 

Wired, by Liz MaverickOther people who have read this book–people who write actual reviews and not just arbitrary judgments, como yo –have noted that this book really isn’t a romance, and I agree. Wired is more of a Sci-Fi adventure than it is a romance–not that there’s anything wrong with…

This is Not a Review: Karma Girl

 

Don’t expect fairness and objectivity ’cause I haven’t got either. Descriptions are half-assed, my taste is mercurial, and ratings are assigned entirely by whim. Karma Girl by Jennifer Estep First things first, I saw the first chapter of this book on a critique group site quite a while ago. I…

This is a Review: Revealing Skills

 

As with all my (not a) reviews, descriptions are half-assed, my taste is mercurial, and ratings are assigned entirely by whim. In most Fantasy novels, if chapter one introduces the main character mucking out stables or scrubbing pots in the kitchen, you can bet your subscription to Everquest that Young…

This is NOT a Review: Hells Belles

 

This is not a review of Hells Belles by Jackie Kessler. If you want a review, mosey over to Mrs. Giggles’ Romance Novel Central or Bam’s site. As with other entries in this series, which were also not reviews, all descriptions are half-assed and ratings are assigned wholly by whim.Synopsis:…

This is Not a Review, Either

 

What did I do this weekend? Aside from too much time spent on the more dilatory sections of Southern California’s highway system, I read a little. Okay, a lot. Time to get some blogging mileage out of that reading by not reviewing that book. As with other entries, which were…
