151-153- Blaze of Memory, Bonds of Justice, and Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh Likes/Dislikes: Honestly, there were some things that majorly annoyed me about Blaze of Memory and Bonds of Justice. There is the most hilariously overwrought, horrible, retro euphemism for virginity at the end of Chapter 17 in Bonds of Justice, for example: […]

150- Gods Behaving Badly: A Novel by Marie Phillips Likes/Dislikes: Fabulous cover. I’m not sure if I’m horrible for counting this as a point in this book’s favor, but it made me giggle at a rape joke. Granted, it’s a rape joke that exposes the bad-ness of rape, but that’s a first in a while. […]

I do have good excuses for not blogging—namely, spending over twenty-four hours at the mercy of Continental Airlines, moving halfway across the country (and UP into a fourth floor walkup—my calves might never recover), and a horrible mix of insomnia and jet lag. Somehow, I was doing basically as much reading as normal, but it […]

86- Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman Likes: So, I really liked Neverwhere, but then I saw part of Coraline over someone’s shoulder on a plane, and it freaked me out so intensely that I haven’t touched Neil Gaiman since. But this was great! List time! Magically expanding rooms. Amicable (mostly) break-ups. Karaoke (which totally makes […]

85- Clementine by Cherie Priest Likes: I know some people complained about this being so much shorter than her other books, but it worked for me: Boneshaker took me forever to read, because I knew that I’d be devoting a significant amount of time to it, and I had to figure out when to carve […]

77- Need by Carrie Jones Likes: So this is totally Twilight, except with pixies, fewer repeated adjectives and a broader sampling of were-animals. Literally. Zara (new girl in town) meets the Hot Boy when he almost runs her over in the parking lot, she’s always smelling him, he has a total “let me save you from […]

70- Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card I got this book for free while I was interning, and I wanted a sci-fi education. I got one of the Tor interns to bring me down to their floor, where she pulled, literally, about fifteen books off their giant floor-to-ceiling shelves for me in the space of […]

54- Shaken and Stirred by Kathleen O’Reilly Likes: The heroine’s very relatable obsession with apartment hunting, obviously. But most notably, incredibly well-integrated sex scenes that were actually kind of necessary to the plot. Not that I complain about random sex scenes, generally, but I liked that sex was something that had to be negotiated, and […]
