Forecast? Steamy with a chance of dragons~ The Rocks of Aserol by @RichardDockett1 #steampunk #SciFi #Bookreview

July 15, 2016

There’s something about the romance and victorian propriety of steampunk that brings a comforting, classic familiarity to everything it touches. And with the way the world has gone lately, I wonder if we could all use a little of that?

(Large orange ones full of gas and hot air perhaps?)

Evil Queen tips, plus GUARDIANS OF THE SKY by @ShelleyWilson72 #RBRT, #TuesdayBookBlog

February 9, 2016

If you need to find the Magical Girl who is destined to destroy you, you should send your strongest, fiercest henchpersons out for bagels and lox. While they’re gone, tell every internet troll that Magical Girl is a female gamer, female presidential candidate, and an inveterate puppy-kicking female who wants to take away their guns. Along with an online terror campaign beyond anything you could dream up, they will have her complete contact details and address splashed across the internet within hours.

Superpowers suck? Try Null City. After one day there, imps become baristas, and hellhounds become poodles. But someone should have told them the angels were all on the other side.

Each morning, hope flares in the tiny flash of a second before I touch that first thing. And destroy it.

Warden Carey Parker's to-do list is already long enough: find her brother and sister, rescue her roommate, save Null City, and castrate her ex-boyfriend. Preferably with a dull-edged garden tool. A rusty one.

Two novellas: "Payback Is A Witch" & "Just For The Spell Of It"

The story of three women eating our way across India in search of adventure, elephants, temples, palaces, western toilets, monkeys, the perfect paratha…and the kindness of Indian strangers.

Check out these great bloggers!
