So this week I’m reading Mean Spirit, by Will Kingdom Phil Rickman, in which a famous medium, Persephone Callard (yes, named after that Persephone) is having a little trouble pursuing her craft, due to (1) being stalked by unknown persons seeking to do her physical harm and (2) having a particularly nasty spirit following her around and taking over … Continue reading Teaser Tuesday 10/25/2016: “Mean Spirit”
So this week, and given its size, probably for a few more weeks, I’ve been reading Seveneves, an apocalyptic doorstopper of a novel by Neal Stephenson. Of course, “doorstopper of a novel” and “Neal Stephenson” do tend to go together; this particular one, if I shook it out of my eReader onto a stack of … Continue reading Teaser Tuesday 9/6/2016: “Seveneves”
So the other week we I watched “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter“. Me: <shows NetFlix envelope to wife> Wife: “What’s that?” Me: “‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’.” Wife: “Uh-huh.” Later: Me: <loading disc into player> Wife: “What’s this?” Me: “‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’.” Wife: “You were serious about that?” Sadly, yes.

In other words, it’s just like the launch of Windows … Continue reading Teaser Tuesday 1/26/2016: “Boneshaker”
Last week I had a sad and didn’t do a post, but this week I’m back with a teaser from my current read, The Lady Astronomer, by Katy O’Dowd. So far I would characterize this book as steampunk, but it’s steampunk that’s sort of been filtered through a Hayao Miyazaki “Kiki’s Delivery Service” meets “Howl’s … Continue reading Teaser Tuesday 12/15/2015: “The Lady Astronomer”
So this week I’m reading Queen of the Tearling, by Erika Johanson, because the Calibre Random Book Picker told me to, and I already paid a buck ninety-nine for it a while ago, and Mango Momma advised me too late that I should read the reviews, which to be fair are mostly favorable, except when … Continue reading Teaser Tuesday 11/10/15: “Queen of the Tearling”
