Alternate Peace Anthology

I've read several of the anthologies produced by Zombies Needs Brains and enjoyed all, but this one didn't quite live up to the other ones. There are some good stories here, yet I wasn't quite as fulfilled as with the other anthologies.

Ultimately, I enjoyed the story. However, prepare yourself for a verbal barrage from what I can only presume is a stream of consciousness. I can't begin to image what was going on inside Blake's head when she dreamed this up or while writing it. ...more

I'm not sure I would have read this one after reading the first book. I happened to pick up both from the library at the same time. This was a more engaging read for me and I look forward to the next one. ...more

The story is interesting, but it didn't grab me. If it wasn't for the fact that I picked up the second book from the library when I picked up the first, I'm not sure I would read the second one. ...more

I enjoyed this trilogy. The final installment was good. However, I could done without the final chapter - maybe it's a setup for follow on stories. ...more

Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare

The darkness gets darker as we dive into the politics of the Clave. The emotional stew that is Emma and Julian seems a bit too much, but is not overpowering the story. I'm curious what Annabell's final role will be. Off to book 3. ...more

I have not read the books leading up to this series, but I don't feel that I missed too much. Clare drops sufficient historical tidbits that provide enoubh context to understand what is taking place. I'm not sure I like all of the characters yet. Off ...more

The Tapestry of Fate by Shannon Chakraborty

Ooo Rah! Nailed it! What a tale of adventure. Chakraborty's Amina al-Sirafi adventures could be the modern day equivelent of Sinbad the Sailor and 1001 Arabian Nights. Maybe she's Queen Scheherazade reincarnated (no offense intended).

Gimme more.

An interesting and creative tale of magical items. Makes me want to join their society. Also makes me want to read his other book. Settle into your comfy spot, with a drink, and some quiet time, as you may not want to stop reading once you've started ...more

An easy, enjoyable read. I felt like I should be overlooking the water on a sunny day and reading - makes me want to visit Positano, Italy.
