Is it just me, or do prequels seem to have exploded into popularity? And let's not forget the shorts and novellas and extra things that are published in between full length books. *Activates grandma voice* Back in my day, we didn't even have prequels. We only got however many books were in the series, and we had to rely on flashbacks and our imaginations to figure out more about the stories and...
I LOVE PARANORMAL AND URBAN FANTASY. Human-like creatures (e.g. vampires, incubi, ghosts, witches, shifters, demons, etc.) are my jam. I also love historical fantasy, magical realism, dystopian, post-apocalyptic, and even the occasional genetic-engineering or cyborg book. So those are the genres I read. Therefore, those are the genres this post will not be about. But I like certain genres for a...
Everybody get excited because it's time for another strange and highly specific topic! If you recall, I did a post about people holding glowy magic in their hands a few weeks ago, but, while I was looking for those covers, I also came across quite a few covers with people holding fire. Since fire isn't quite the same as magic, I decided to make it a separate post (plus the collages totally look...
Since I have no legitimate real life news or updates this week, instead I'm gonna tell you all about a weird dream I had. It wasn't weird in the conventional sense (well, I mean, it was, but my dreams are pretty much always weird, so that makes it normal), it was weird in that I experienced the dream from two different perspectives. I was with this small group of people, and we were escaping or...

This topic was right up my alley because I read mostly paranormal and urban fantasy. And you know what paranormal and urban fantasy has got a lot of? Cemeteries. Between all the vampires and ghosts and witches and necromancers, I didn't have to look very hard. But that also made this an especially fun topic for me since I really do LOVE all of these book covers. It was hard just to narrow it down...
So... I suppose I'm obligated to say Happy Valentine's Day? Happy Single's Awareness Day? Happy Sunday? I can't say I'm celebrating---in fact, I can't say I've ever really done much for Valentine's Day, even times when I haven't been single---but I do always love the overabundance of the color red at this time of year :-P I finally made it to that doctor's appointment that was rescheduled. I...
