Escapism Through Books: April 2013
http://escapismthroughbooks.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Go [Read] then. There are other worlds than these. Saturday, April 20, 2013. Review: Portrait of Lisane da Patagnia by Rachel Swirsky ★★★★. I was not thrilled with the other free Tor story I picked up. It told everything and showed nothing, it lacked substance and meaning and just did nothing but disappoint me. In comparison,. Portait of Lisane de Patagnia. Had all of that. The writing was evocative and descriptive, and the story was interesting and compelling. I wanted to know where it was going. The mo...

Escapism Through Books: March 2013
http://escapismthroughbooks.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Go [Read] then. There are other worlds than these. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Review: The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera ★. 13% and I'm done. I have had a run of books that have bored me, or annoyed me, or just did nothing for me. This one is. You know, I don't even know how to describe this one. And she stays. He gets her a dog, because the dog will hopefully "develop lesbian tendencies" and love Tereza, because Tomas can't cope with her and needs help. Shrug* The book said so. She leaves...

Escapism Through Books: January 2013
http://escapismthroughbooks.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Go [Read] then. There are other worlds than these. Thursday, January 17, 2013. Hermione Hat Pt.2 and What I'm Reading. The hat turned out WAY too small (think child size), so I ended up giving it to my small-headed friend. Hopefully it won't be too small for her, but she's got a daughter she could give it to, if so. ;). I've started another attempt, this time I went with a slightly thicker yarn and went a size up on my needles, and so far so good regarding the size. Maybe this will be the keeper! So far,...

Escapism Through Books: May 2013
http://escapismthroughbooks.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Go [Read] then. There are other worlds than these. Saturday, May 11, 2013. Review: Rain And Revelation by Therese Pautz ★★★★. I received a copy of this book from the author for review. I haven't been accepting many books for review lately, because I dislike the feeling of obligation that accepting a book for review brings with it, especially the past chunk of time, with my reading so erratic and all. I felt for Annie, after learning what she had gone through, and though the subject matter was grim, the w...

Go [Read] then. There are other worlds than these. Monday, April 6, 2015. Links to this post. Sunday, April 5, 2015. My review of Gone Girl, written and posted both on Goodreads AND my blog in February 2013, has been stolen and reproduced, almost entirely, here: https:/ optates.wordpress.com/2014/10/22/book-review-2/. Shameful that someone needs to steal someone else's words. Mine must be super special that she'd steal them and claim them as her own. Links to both my review posts:. Links to this post.

Escapism Through Books: December 2012
http://escapismthroughbooks.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Go [Read] then. There are other worlds than these. Monday, December 31, 2012. Review: Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake ★★★. Wow I just realized that I added this book to Mount To-Read exactly one year ago today. That's pretty strange, isn't it? I mean, I picked the book up yesterday on a whim, thinking that it would be light, quick reading to squeeze in before the new year. I wasn't looking for any weird cosmic alignments or anything. but it is kind of cool. But first, the things I DID like. 1 - Th...

Go [Read] then. There are other worlds than these. Sunday, June 30, 2013. NetGalley Review: Helium by Jaspreet Singh. Disclaimer: I received an e-copy of this book for review from NetGalley. I really wanted to love this book. I was hoping that it would speak to me and allow me to learn something of what it was like to live through such things. I was hoping for this book to be beautifully written and expertly told. But unfortunately, almost immediately, I struggled with this book. But there seems to be no...

Escapism Through Books: Library Sale... AKA: I DON'T Have A Problem!
http://escapismthroughbooks.blogspot.com/2013/06/library-sale-aka-i-dont-have-problem.html
Go [Read] then. There are other worlds than these. Sunday, June 9, 2013. Library Sale. AKA: I DON'T Have A Problem! So, yesterday, after breakfast, The Boy spotted a library sale. And then told me about it, which was his first mistake. He then had to wander around after me, bored, for not nearly as long as I would have liked, but out of consideration for him I cut it short to just an hour. The Thief of Always by Clive Barker. An ARC edition of Vurt by Jeff Noon (on of The Boy's favorites! One Day in the ...
