Tales of an intrepid pantster. I'm making this up as I go along. What to Expect from this Blog. Wednesday, October 15, 2014. Review: Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne. Journey to the Center of the Earth: A Signature Performance by Tim Curry. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. If it hadn't been Tim Curry reading this to me, I wouldn't have soldiered through it. He adds a much-needed spark to the story. His narration is dynamic, and was often the only reason I kept listening. It was nice ...Rose-Owls...

Tales of an intrepid pantster: Review: A Local Habitation
http://alicethewriter.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-local-habitation.html
Tales of an intrepid pantster. I'm making this up as I go along. What to Expect from this Blog. Saturday, December 3, 2011. Review: A Local Habitation. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. This is the second in a series that will, hopefully, go for a really long time. I read the first standing in lines at Dragon*Con, which should give you a good enough idea of how riveting it was. This one matches, then outpaces it, for sheer sucking-the-reader-in. Not enough to keep me from reading, clearly. View all my reviews.

Tales of an intrepid pantster: Review: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

Tales of an intrepid pantster. I'm making this up as I go along. What to Expect from this Blog. Saturday, September 13, 2014. Review: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. This is the ninth book in my 2014 TBR Challenge. My sister gave it to me as a Christmas present years ago, but I set it aside for a time when I could get over the intimidation factor. Interestingly, I would not have appreciated it the way I do if I'd read it right away.

Tales of an intrepid pantster. I'm making this up as I go along. What to Expect from this Blog. Monday, November 3, 2014. Review: The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. The strength of the story lies in its characters. Prudence and Robin and their father are all rogues to their core, and it's impossible not to root for them. Prudence lives up to her name, though her loyalty to her brother holds her to her role. As little respect as the siblings have for their father, it...The love ...

Tales of an intrepid pantster. I'm making this up as I go along. What to Expect from this Blog. Thursday, October 2, 2014. Review: The Winter Long (October Daye #8) by Seanan McGuire. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. This is the eighth book in Seanan McGuire's October Daye. Series. I think I say every time that they get better with each installation, but, well, it's true. McGuire does her homework, building intrigue and tension into earlier books that pay off handsomely with each new installment. The pacing of t...

Tales of an intrepid pantster. I'm making this up as I go along. What to Expect from this Blog. Friday, May 4, 2012. Review: Rosemary and Rue (October Daye #1) by Seanan McGuire. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. The first time I read Rosemary and Rue. Was at a convention. I got through most of it while standing in line for an autograph, with music blaring all around, and people stepping over me. There were a lot of remarks to the effect of, "Must be a good book! The premise of Rosemary and Rue. The most botherso...

Tales of an intrepid pantster. I'm making this up as I go along. What to Expect from this Blog. Wednesday, December 21, 2011. Review: Tam Lin by Pamela Dean. My rating: 3 of 5 stars. This book was not for me. I can certainly understand and appreciate its influence on modern literature. I like that it's one of the influences that have made urban fantasy such a popular genre. All on its own, though, I found it lacking. View all my reviews. Posted by Alice K. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Buying books...

Tales of an intrepid pantster: Review: Lock In by John Scalzi

Tales of an intrepid pantster. I'm making this up as I go along. What to Expect from this Blog. Friday, October 17, 2014. Review: Lock In by John Scalzi. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. And I'm not just saying that because of how appreciative Mr. Scalzi was of the apple cider doughnuts I brought him from Bella Napoli. When I saw him on tour. As I noted above, I listened to this with Amber Benson's narration. I don't know if it would've been that different with Wheaton's, but she did a wonderful reading....Revie...
