It's Good to Be Back

Phew, I'm back. Vegas was hot and windy, but the wedding we attended was lovely. Lots of yummy, yummy Thai food at the reception and many good people to visit with. A much-needed getaway.

I just wanted to put up a reminder that Laurie R. King, author of the most wonderful if-you-haven't-read-them-yet-you-must Mary Russell series, will be guest blogging here on Wednesday. Laurie is promoting her latest and greatest Mary Russell--The Language of Bees. You're in for a treat so don't miss it!

I've also got several good reviews on their way up this week. Look out for my review of Fragile Eternity (much to say on that one), Dead and Gone (Sookie rules), and of course The Language of Bees.

    It's great to have you back! :)

    I had the pleasure of hearing Laurie R King speak this past week - about the Russell books, writing, the mystery genre in general. And I got my copy of The Language of Bees signed - super excited about that. Now I can't wait to dig in!

    it just came in at the library.....ahhhh I can't wait to see what Russell and Holmes do this time.......I'm also excited to see what Miss King has to say on your blog....so cool! Anyway, I'll be in Idaho starting mid June just in time for Becky's shower and then I'll stay until the end of July....the exact date depends on a certain wedding that isn't quite official yet but has been much talked about.....I'm anxious to meet this chica that has got Jeff so head over heels. So, I hope that between the shower, the 4th, and the ?wedding?, we'll be able to see each other AT LEAST once. Even better....quit your job and hang out in Malad for the summer just for good old times.....my parents just got new couches....we'll share!!! I promise not to kick! laters

    Chelle, thanks! And you actually got to hear her speak? Score!

    Liz, I'm deep into THE LANGUAGE OF BEES now and you will not be disappointed! Given the time you'll be in Malad, I'm sure we'll be able to hook up. New couches?!?! They must be broken in properly...

    Amy, I promise to share my many thoughts. Seth...sigh.

Review | The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Vols. 1 & 2 by Beth Brower

I feel a bit giddy finally talking to you all about this series. If you'll remember, I fell madly in love with The Q  when it came out a few years ago. Now, Beth Brower is writing The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion — a series of novellas set in London in 1883. Each volume is an excerpt from the incorrigible Emma's journals, and the first two volumes are already available with the third on the way soon. I think they'd make rather perfect pandemic reading. Humorous and charming down to their bones, they're just what the doctor ordered to lift your spirits in this uncertain time that just proves to be too much some days. If you're experiencing one of those days, I suggest giving Volume 1   a go (it's only 99 cents on Kindle, $4.99 for a trade paperback copy). It will surprise exactly none of you that I own print and digital editions of both volumes.  Miss Emma M. Lion has waited long enough. Come hell or high water (and really, given her track record,  both a...

For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund

I know this is an almost unpardonably early review. But honestly, I waited on it as long as I possibly could before the effort of holding it in caused me some sort of bodily harm. I've been anxiously looking forward to For Darkness Shows the Stars  for going on two years now, and the day an ARC showed up on my doorstep was just a very good day indeed . When a book you've been dying to read finally falls into your lap, do you ever just hold onto it and savor the possibilities? I do. I did with this one for a little while. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I just tear into it immediately. But sometimes I don't. Because sometimes dreaming about it while you're actually holding it in your hands is special, too. So I savored and I dreamt and I started reading and . . . I was gone. My first reaction to finishing it was a sense of complete satisfaction mingled with sadness that it was over. My second was thinking that I cannot wait to see  For Darkness Shows the Stars  work ...
