Final thoughts on Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander (by Jill)
It took every ounce of self-control I had to not walk to my book room Sunday night and pick up the next book in this series. Diana Gabaldon has a way with words. So where was I with my summary? … Continue reading
Sic Transit Gloria Ender: A Review of Orson Scott Card’s Children of the Mind (by Bethany)
I read most of Orson Scott Card’s Ender books in the spring of 2013, which was a slow period in my blogging life. I wanted to hit a reading goal that I had set for myself (I didn’t make it), … Continue reading

Beyond This Point There Be Vampire Porn: A Review of Charlaine Harris’ Dead Until Dark (by Bethany)
So maybe I’ve mentioned once or twice that I am writing a book that involves witches. The only thing more bizarre than that is the fact that I am really enjoying it – and the only thing more bizarre than … Continue reading
A Review of Lev Grossman’s The Magicians (by Bethany)
I don’t know what made me start this book last Monday, just one day before Deborah Harkness’ The Book of Life was released. As I’ve said before, I’m working on a writing project right now that involves witches and the … Continue reading
