  • All Dogs Go to Kevin: A Review

    It’s been ages since I wrote a review–mostly because it’s been ages since I actually finished a book. 😛 Oh, I’ve started a good many of them, but finished? Not so much. Time has been rather more precious than usual over the last few months, and so I’ve been particularly protective of it…which has made me…

  • Review of NIGH by Marie Bilodeau

    Once upon a time, there were no more happy endings… So reads the tagline on the front cover of author Marie Bilodeau‘s new novella, Nigh, which released yesterday.

  • Review: Well Fed (Paleo Recipes for People Who Love to Eat)

  • Review: Deadroads by Robin Riopelle

    Occasionally I am approached by another author or their publisher for a cover quote they can use to promote an upcoming book. To me, this is both an honour and a huge responsibility—not just to the author whose book I’m reviewing, but to my readers as well. In other words, I don’t want to (and won’t)…

  • Review: ASHFALL by Mike Mullin

    I decided a long time ago that I wouldn’t review other authors’ books. To me, the idea just felt wrong…and maybe a little pretentious. Knowing first-hand how incredibly challenging the whole publishing process is, I thought, who am I to pass judgment on another writer’s work? Well, I still don’t think I should pass judgment,…

  • RAPW: Shout-out to Annette McCleave

    If you’re a paranormal romance fan and you’re not already familiar with Annette McCleave, author of the Soul Gatherer novels, then you should be. In fact, go check her out now … I’ll wait. Back already? And? Don’t you love her site? Me, too. I also love her books. Which is why, in honor of Random Acts…
