Of books, writing, and life in general
It’s been over a year since I participated in a giveaway hop and I figured it’s about time I join one again. I chose this particular hop because it’s the holiday season and it’s the end of the year and it’s my way of giving back for everything that happened this year. :)
The Midwinter’s Eve Giveaway Hop is hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and Bookhounds and runs from December 21st to 31st. For my giveaway, I’m giving away a $10 Amazon Gift Card or PayPal cash.
Today we’re featuring the science fiction book Future Winds by author Kevin Laymon. You all know I’m a big fan of sci-fi and I thought this book seemed right up my alley. And it’s officially released today! That is why we’re celebrating with a blog tour and an awesome giveaway from the author.
Read on to know more about this new sci-fi novel and enter the giveaway for a chance to win something really cool. :)
Whether you love or dread thoughts of the end of the world, there’s no denying, this is one hot genre! This week, we have brought together some of the best of the best for fun, prizes, and best of all, books! Some of these authors may be familiar, some may be new, but they are all amazingly talented and ready to party! Read on to know more about what we have for you this week!
Today we’re featuring fantasy novel A Reaper of Stone by Mark Gelineau and Joe King. This book not only has a gorgeous cover – I mean, lookit! – but a blurb intriguing enough to make me want to read it. So I did. Yay.
Read more about the book below and then check out my review if you please. Also, there’s a short yet maddeningly curious excerpt that you must read and a giveaway you should most definitely join! Awesome, right?
Yay it’s my stop for the blog tour of this intriguing young adult dystopian science fiction book, Shadow of Deception (The Kazumi Chronicles, Book One). I’m supposed to post a review, but silly me got confused about the dates so my review will have to follow.
Read more about the book and check out the excerpt below. Don’t forget to also check out the giveaway for this blog tour!
(Update: I’ve posted my review of the book here. Checkitout!)
I’m such a sucker for sci-fi lately so I jumped at the chance to check out this new book. Read my review of Dark Horse by Michelle Diener and check out the giveaway for this book blast!
Today we’re featuring Dark Innocence, book 1 in the Star-Seers’ Prophecy trilogy, by author Rahima Warren. I’m a real sucker for fantasy and I couldn’t pass this one up, especially since the series has been compared to works by J.R.R. Tolkien and Ursula Leguin. I mean, holy crap, I’m curious.
Anyway, I’m going to be posting a review, but not today. Today, I have a guest post by Rahima Warren about how to evoke a fantasy world. I’ve always been fascinated by the world-building ability of great fantasy writers, so I really enjoyed this post by the author. I hope you enjoy it, too.
I love Science Fiction so sometimes I can’t help joining sci-fi blog events every now and then. Today we’re featuring a Young Adult Sci-Fi event. We’re celebrating a few awesome YA science fiction authors with giveaways, book exclusives, games and more!

Today we’re featuring The Crystal Keeper trilogy by author Laurisa White Reyes. I’ve read her fantasy books The Rock of Ivanore and The Last Enchanter and really enjoyed them (read my reviews of those books here and here). The Crystal Keeper takes place before The Rock of Ivanore.
