I Have a Conundrum

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

First, some backstory.  Martha Wells’ book Cloud Roads is one of my top picks for 2011.  It’s imaginative and original, and every time I re-read it, I feel like I’m visiting friends who always have something fascinating to say.  Just a few minutes ago, we received Wells’ Serpent Sea, which continues the adventures of the characters from Cloud Roads.  So here’s the dilemma:  Do I read it right away?  Or hold off for a while?

Point for the latter:  Savouring the anticipation
Point for the latter:  I WANT TO READ THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!

Help me out here.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Winter

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

It may be a meagre amount, but there’s finally some snow on the ground here in Toronto.  Yay!  And since it finally feels suitably seasonal, here’s a gift for you.  At least, here’s a gift for readers of Ilona Andrews’ ‘Kate Daniels’ series:  a free Kate Daniels novella!  Follow the link to Andrews’ page, and you can choose what format to read the story in.

I’m a big fan of the series, and was thrilled to bits to get a free novella.  It really was like getting an unexpected gift.  So, Ilona and Gordon:  thank you very much!

 

Just In Case…

It’s Here!

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

Of course, since we just put up a post updating our new books, we received a late-in-the-day new title.  But since this one is Terry Pratchett’s Snuff, we figured you’d want to know.

Mmmm, Pratchetty goodness.
