Read All About it!

 I’m so, so excited about today’s new release, THE INVISIBLE LIBRARY by Genevieve Cogman!  Now, you may already have heard me talk about this book.  That’s because it made a big splash in the UK and is now available in the US! Already it’s made lists: The Independent’s 10 Best Fantasy Novels, Book Plank’s Best DebutsContinue reading “Read All About it!”

Belated Book Birthdays

No, no, no, it cannot be June already.  It’s not possible!  (Though my thermostat begs to differ.) Due to vacation and other insanity, I’m a bit behind on my book birthdays, but I’m pleased to wish very happy releases to these wonderful May books!  DARK JOURNEY by Susan Krinard Others in the Nightsiders series: DAYSIDER,Continue reading “Belated Book Birthdays”

Happy Book Birthdays!

Before I get to my Happy Book Birthdays, I wanted to boost a signal on a great list by BookRiot of 100 Must-Read Sci-Fi Fantasy Novels by Female Authors!  It’s not all-inclusive, but it’s a great place to start and lists, among others: FLESH AND SPIRIT by Carol Berg THE KILLING MOON by N.K. JemisinContinue reading “Happy Book Birthdays!”

That new book smell!

I love book birthdays, don’t you?  I only wish they came with cake.  But I suppose with the sedentary reading lifestyle, it’s probably a good thing they don’t.  Still and all, these new releases are absolutely worth curling up with a good cup of tea (or, in my case, coffee), even if you leave offContinue reading “That new book smell!”

So much

I’ve been neck deep in contracts/legalese and foreign tax forms this week and so am a bit slow with my happy book birthdays and congratulations, though if you follow me on Twitter (@luciennediver) you’ll already be up-to-date.  But to catch you all up here…  I’m thrilled to congratulate Ramez Naam for winning the Philip K.Continue reading “So much”

Book Bliss!

March is another exciting book release month!  Today alone there are four amazing titles (more, I’m sure, but four that I had a hand in) that you absolutely can’t/shouldn’t miss.  Check out this line-up:  MIDNIGHT MARKED by Chloe Neill “It defies reason, really. Book series are supposed to slow down, get stale as they goContinue reading “Book Bliss!”

February Book Birthdays!

This year started out with such a bang (in all the best ways except my back going out) that I wasn’t sure I was going to find time to blog in 2016.  I was literally dancing as fast as I could to keep on top of things (a la Buffy in Once More With Feeling). Continue reading “February Book Birthdays!”

Asgardians and Honors

I was tempted to start out with some really bad puns, suggesting you get off your feet if they’re Thor from all your holiday shopping and settle in with a good book, but I won’t subject you to all that.  Instead, I’ll just begin with a *Kermit flail* and an announcement that the first bookContinue reading “Asgardians and Honors”

Great News and Happy Book Birthdays!

I hope you all had a super-fantastic Thanksgiving, full of warmth, love, laughter and overstuffed bellies.  Coming back from a long weekend is always a mixed blessing.  You’re refreshed, you’re ready to go (unless you were trampled during any of the Black Friday sales, which I studiously avoided) and… Then you see the mountain ofContinue reading “Great News and Happy Book Birthdays!”

Shout out to Doranna Durgin’s work and her new Sentinels novel!

 Doranna Durgin’s new Sentinels novel LEOPARD ENCHANTED came out this month from Harlequin Nocturne, and I want to a) wish her a huge HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY here and also take a moment to celebrate this wonderful series.  What I love most about the Sentinels books is that the characters are each fierce individuals, all withContinue reading “Shout out to Doranna Durgin’s work and her new Sentinels novel!”
