It’s October already, friends, and we have a mountain of excellent reads to dive into. First up is a book from bestselling author Richard Osman, he of Thursday Murder Club fame! He’s such a hot commodity amongst mystery aficionados that I keep getting beaten by other reviewers to claiming his books over at Criminal Element, …

A surprisingly short round-up column to start off September, likely due to the fact that I think I actually have a better than decent shot at reading all the other books I’ve yet to talk about here! First up, we have An Honorable Assassin by Steve Hamilton. This third book in the Nick Mason series …

We have a bumper issue for the second part of our monthly roundup this August, beginning with a book that I did get to read this month but didn’t feel quite merited an entire post of its own. Yahgz Vol 2: The Gwash War by Art Baltazar of Tiny Titans and Itty Bitty Hellboy fame …

Happy August, readers! I have never had a year in which I’ve looked so forward to my kids going back to school. I love spending time with them but they’ve felt a little needier — and definitely a lot louder! — than in previous years, so it’ll be nice to get some nice, quiet reading …

I honestly can’t believe that it’s the second Friday of July already! I feel like the start of this year absolutely dragged, but no time at all has passed since March. What’s up with that? As usual, I’m behind with my work reading and am frantically going through what Hugo nominees I can before the …

Idk what it is about this summer, but my kids are driving me nuts while they’re home on vacation this year. Maybe it’s the heat, maybe it’s the fact that their father decided that he didn’t like my summer camp idea and decided to not actually make alternate plans for them. But they’ve 100% been …

It’s the end of May, and while I’ve been able to read twenty-two books so far this month (covered either here or over at CriminalElement.com) there have still been so many gorgeous books that crossed my desk that I haven’t quite been able to fit in yet. The first of these, and the first I’m …
