Wow, November has turned out to be quite a month for books. I’m currently reading the latest Stephen King (so far, it’s just awesome)...
Whether it’s in books, comic books, movies or tv shows, librarians can turn out to be the best allies you have. And as such they should be celebrated. io9 has written a great article about “20 heroic librarians who save the world.” I’ll admit, I don’t know most of the ones they list, but they do mention a few of my personal favorites: 1) Giles [...]
Even though I have only read the first two books in the series, I couldn’t pass on sharing this excerpt from Charlaine Harris’ new Sookie Stackhouse’s novel Deadlocked. Harris has posted Chapter Two of the novel on her website an early peek at the book which will be released on May 17th of this year. Please note that the excerpt cannot be read on mobile [...]
It’s January and time to pick up some new books to read. This week, the book I am curious about is Stealing Magic, that cover is really pretty, so I might have to pick up the series. But if that’s not your thing, there are plenty to pick from. You can take a look at other titles released this week below. Quiet: The Power of [...]
Theodora Goss is the author of a special and original book The Thorn and the Blossom (read my review here), published by Quirk Books. Instead of a spine, the book is an accordion which opens at both ends with one side telling one character’s side of the story and the other telling the other character’s side. Daemon’s Books had the chance to ask Theodora Goss [...]
Since setting a goal for myself last year was such a success (I exceeded my comic book goal and almost reached my book goal) and so much fun to keep track, I decided to set a new goal for myself this year. Once again I will be using Goodreads and their 2012 Reading Challenge to keep track of everything. And of course I will be [...]
I know it’s almost the end of January, but it is still January and so I wanted to take some time to recap last year in reading for me. Back in January 2011, I wrote about my reading goals for 2011, which was to read 48 books and 70 comic books. Thanks to Goodreads’ 2011 Reading Challenge I was able to keep track of things [...]
The Thorn and the Blossom is a book unlike anything that I have ever read before. In fact it was its unusual format that attracted me to it and thanks to the people at Quirk Books I got my hands on a copy. The Thorn and the Blossom tells the story of Evelyn Morgan, a young American studying at Oxford decides to take a short [...]
I need to start by saying that The Night Circus is officially the best book I have read last year and I read 43 books last year, so that’s saying something. I found out about it during the Editors Buzz at this year’s BEA (Book Expo America) and I am so glad I attended because I would have never picked it up otherwise. The Night [...]
I read Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur when I was sixteen and fell in love wtih the book. I’ve always been a huge fan of The Arthurian legend (something I can thank my mother for; we’d listen to the Camelot soundtrack almost daily), and when I was offered the chance to review Peter Ackroyd’s retelling of the classic in The Death of King Arthur: [...]
