Just re-read American Gods and found that I liked it even better the third time around. Perhaps because I read it more slowly, and thought more about the mythology

The Traveler (2005) John Twelve Hawks The Traveler has been my riding the PRT/sitting in waiting rooms book for the past month. However, once I got a third of the way into the book, it moved out of my jacket pocket and became my primary book to read. Maya is the daughter of a Harlequin–a […]

Chibi Vampire Vol. 1 (2003) Yuan Kagesaki Michael really likes Manga, so I’ve been looking for a series that looks appealing to me, to see if I can figure out what he likes so much. Chibi Vampire has a very interesting premise, so I thought I’d see if I liked it. Karin is a reverse […]

Children of Magic (2006) edited by Martin H. Greenberg and Kerrie Hughes As I have mentioned on many previous occasions, I am a huge fan of short stories. Occasionally I have been disappointed, but for the most part the anthologies I have read have good, especially the one edited by Martin H. Greenberg. The theme […]

The Thread that Binds the Bones (1993) Nina Kiriki Hoffman I really like Nina Kiriki Hoffman’s writing. She hasn’t written many novels, but I’ve tried to get my hands on as many of them as I could. The Thread that Binds the Bones is out of print, but my brother found a used copy for […]

Unfortunately, for me, this book failed one of my most important tests–there was very little resolution to the story, and the book asked far more questions than […]

Civil War: Runaways & New Avengers (2007) Zeb Wells, Stefano Caselli As I have mentioned previously, I love Runaways and what Brian K Vaughan has done with the series. So I hesitated to pick up this tie in, because I know nothing about the whole Marvel “Civil War” storyline, and know nothing about the New […]

Poltergeist (2007) Kat Richardson I enjoyed Greywalker enough that I pre-ordered Poltergeist when I came across it. This was a decision I did not regret. I liked Poltergeist even better than I liked Greywalker. Harper Blaine is still coming to terms with her ability to see and move into the Grey, the paranormal realm populated […]

Cast In Secret (2007) Michelle Sagara Cast In Secret is the sequel to Cast in Courtlight, and takes off not long after the events of that book. Kaylin is still learning magic–and still not succeeding very well in her attempts. She terms with the fact that Severn is both her partner, and the keeper of […]
