Brightness, Here and Now
A Brightness Long Ago, by Guy Gavriel Kay I’m not going to try to write about Guy Gavriel Kay’s new book, because his writing is SO beautiful and it intimidates me to the point of incapacity to even think about … Continue reading

Haters GOTta Hate
Instead of a book review, I thought I’d write a post about what’s been stealing my time the past 6 weeks. Whether you watch the show or not, you’ve probably figured out by now that Game of Thrones ended its … Continue reading

The Eve of Destruction and a Nice Cup of Tea
Good Omens, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett This is my second time reading Good Omens and it’s just as good as the first. I decided to re-read it because some actual genius decided to make a TV mini-series and cast David Tennant … Continue reading

Children of Earth and Sky, Guy Gavriel Kay
Book 26: Children of Earth and Sky It is always a long wait for the next Guy Gavriel Kay book (actually, a month would be a long wait!). But we are always oh! so excited when he finally releases a … Continue reading
The Illegal, Lawrence Hill
Book 24: The Illegal Interestingly, The Illegal turned out to be a pseudo-fantasy in that it takes place on current-day earth, but in the made-up, neighouring, island countries of Freedom State and Zantoroland. The protagonist is a black long-distance runner … Continue reading
Practical Demonkeeping, Christopher Moore
Book 20: Practical Demonkeeping I’ve been procrastinating. One of the challenges of the book-a-week challenge is the lack of any down time in between books to simply sit back and savour my enjoyment of the book I just finished. Sometimes … Continue reading
