Guest Friday Snippet: The Native Star

We have a special Friday Snippet today! This one is from The Native Star, a newly released book by M.K. Hobson. I received an ARC of this book, and enjoyed it so much I asked permission to share a little snip with you, my blog readers. (This has nothing to do with the fact that [...]

Week 33: Thirteenth Child

Here is this week’s 52 Books in 52 Weeks post… Thirteenth Child (Fronteir Magic #1) by Patricia C. Wrede (YA historical fantasy) This is the first in a (probable) trilogy about an alternate Wild West. In this fantasy, Christopher Columbus discovered a land populated by things like swarming weasels and steam dragons. The names of [...]

Romance Top Thirteen

I’m stealing this idea from Shiloh Walker (who stole it as well)… Only I’m making it 13 instead of her 10 because it’s a Thursday 13 this way. (And because I can. So there.) Now, these are not all “official” romance novels. But they all have a romance (to one degree or another) in them. So [...]

Week 29: A Matter of Magic

Week 4: Heart’s Blood

Week 3: Sorcery and Cecelia

This is Week 3 of my 52 Books in 52 Weeks challenge. I meant to post it on Tuesday, but somehow the week got away from me. So instead you get a Saturday post. Yay! ~*~   ~*~   ~*~ Sorcery and Cecelia; or, the Enchanted Chocolate Pot by Patricia C. Wrede & Caroline Stevermer (historical fantasy, [...]
