Posted on December 19, 2016 by

I don’t really know why I’m surprised, but NetGalley is learning my tastes. I wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere in the back end of that site, there was a note in my profile that said, “Loves fairy tales!” Or maybe … Continue reading →

Review: Ascension by A.S. Fenichel

Posted on October 7, 2014 by

I’m generally looking for a particular sort of book when I browse through Net Galley’s Science Fiction/Fantasy offerings, and it’s not usually this. I’m a reader of romance novels in a guilty pleasure sort of capacity: the writing is generally … Continue reading →
