Hard Science Fiction is a world that takes itself seriously while giving us a fantastical glimpse into a future that may come. In Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits, David Wong takes Hard Science Fiction and makes it part of a punch line. Sometimes it's a punch-line to a sophomoric joke to be honest. It proves my 'Life is a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Theory' yet again.Some may remember David Wong from John Dies at the End...
I read a few books from this series a couple years back and I'm really glad I decided to get back into it. I love a good science fiction novel and the way the author blends romance into her stories is wonderful. The love scenes are pretty erotic and not for the faint of heart but as a whole, the novel isn't just about the romance. There's an actual actual story that involves dangerous situations, multiple characters and many storylines.The...

I don't have a full review this week- didn't quite have time to finish reading a sci-fi/fantasy book. I can tell you that I'm in the middle of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, and totally loving it! I loved it from page one- the writing is superb. The prose is almost lyrical in it's flow, and the plot is totally engaging in it's mystery. I know that it's an older one; has anyone else read it? Are there any...
In the backwoods of east Tennessee there was a woman who only wanted to be left to herself. Just when she thinks she has found peace away from a family and religious situation that was less to her liking, she has the (mis)fortune to run into our favorite (or at least my favorite) vampire bounty hunter, Jane Yellowrock. The aftermath of that meeting is what brings us to the beginning of Blood on the Earth by Faith Hunter. ...
This is a book that needs no introduction in the literary world. As a true Harry Potter fan, I was so excited when I heard the news about the production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and the simultaneous publication of its rehearsal script. In my mind, J.K. Rowling was done with Harry Potter but I always knew she would return to the magical wizarding world, somehow. I was surprised she returned not only to the world, but also returned with...

Arabella of Mars is clearly an original take on sci-fi. I was blown away by the details of the story, despite the fact that everything about space travel was fictional and unrealistic. David D. Levine was able to merge science fiction, fantasy and steampunk effortlessly in this epic space adventure.I'm usually a stickler for facts when it comes to space and science in novels, but in this case, because everything was done purposely, I really...

I'm continuing to read through the Mary Poppins series, and continuing to love them! Mary Poppins in the Park has a slightly different layout and tone to it, but it's not a bad change. (You can read reviews of the first three books, Mary Poppins, Mary Poppins Comes Back, and Mary Poppins Opens the Door, here.)In the previous books, each chapter had a predictable pattern: one of the Banks children would encounter a...
