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: 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...

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 ...

Escapism Through Books: February 2013
http://escapismthroughbooks.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Go [Read] then. There are other worlds than these. Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Review: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn ★★★★★. That was my immediate reaction after finishing this book. Pretty clearly that's not how it ends. It doesn't. That way. Yet, when I tapped Shadow's screen to turn the page (Shadow's my Nook's name, FYI) - there were only acknowledgements. And then I thought about it. I gave it just a few minutes' thought, and I decided that I thought the ending was appropriate. Fucked up? The twist...

Escapism Through Books: Review: The Concubine by Jade Lee ★★
http://escapismthroughbooks.blogspot.com/2013/06/review-concubine-by-jade-lee.html
Go [Read] then. There are other worlds than these. Sunday, June 30, 2013. Review: The Concubine by Jade Lee ★★. Anyway. This was OK. Predictable, cliche, unintentionally humorous at times, but nothing special. I wish the history and politics were fleshed out more, as well as the characters' personalities. Their euphemistic sexy times parts were fleshed out quite enough. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 9733;★★★★ Amazing! 9733;★★★☆ Really liked it. 9733;★★☆☆ OK to Good. The Devil You Know.
