Of books, writing, and life in general
Today we’re featuring Obsidian Worlds, a collection of short stories by author Jason Werbeloff. I love sci fi and this short story collection seemed like something I would really enjoy, so I was more than happy to be part of this blog tour. Turned out to be an awesome move on my part.
Read on to know why it was awesome and join the tour giveaway for a chance to win a $15 Amazon/BN gift card. YAYYY.
Today we have another book from author duo Gelineau and King! This time it’s a young adult novella called Faith and Moonlight, the fourth book in their Echoes of the Ascended series. I really am a big fan of their work and I am so stoked to feature this book on the blog on its release day!

Carpet Head and I managed to go to the movies for two consecutive nights this week, thanks to the special holidays brought on by the APEC Summit. We watched Mockingjay Part 2 the first night and Spectre on the next. Woot. I was going to write about both movies, but I realized they deserve separate posts. So this one’s just about Mockingjay. Duh.
Best Left In The Shadows, the latest novella from author duo Mark Gelineau and Joe King, is out today and I am so ecstatic that I had the chance to read it. I’ve been a fan of Gelineau and King since I read their first story A Reaper of Stone and their second one, Rend The Dark, in the last two months. Going into Best Left In The Shadows, I already knew or expected that I was in for a treat!

Rend the Dark by authors Mark Gelineau and Joe King is out today! I read this author duo’s first story A Reaper of Stone just last month and I found it so promising that I was so excited for the chance to read another one of their stories. In their blog, the authors describe Rend the Dark as a good old-fashioned action horror adventure. I happen to love horror and adventure so I was stoked to read it.

Finally got around to doing this review of the young adult dystopian slash science fiction book, Shadow of Deception (The Kazumi Chronicles, Book One) by author Sophia L. Johnson. Read more about the book and check out my review.
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!
Or should I say, woman crush Friday? Sounds weeeird. Anyhoo, I found out about BBC TV series The Fall when I was reading an article about American actors in UK TV shows. The beautiful Gillian Anderson was on the list and I remember the article saying her ‘convincing’ British accent probably stemmed from the fact that she lived in London when she was a young girl. I know, that’s such a random and irrelevant detail to remember, but I love crime drama so I was intrigued by The Fall and decided I must watch it.
The show is one of those series with hour-long episodes and short seasons. Season 1 only had five episodes. Gillian Anderson plays Stella Gibson, a senior police officer who’s leading the task force investigating the murders of young women in Belfast. Stella Gibson is beautiful, strong, successful, calculating, focused, and very driven. She comes off as unfeeling and her colleagues seem to think she doesn’t have any emotion at all, but we can see that that’s not entirely true. She feels deeply for the murdered women and won’t stop until she catches the killer, who happens to be played by the equally beautiful Jamie Dornan a.k.a. Christian Grey (ugh).
I don’t really review a lot of children’s picture books on the blog, but when I got an email from the editor of Beyond the Pale, a fantasy and paranormal anthology I featured a while back, I couldn’t say no to his latest work, Monster Goose Nursery Rhymes. When I read that this new picture book would have things like manticores, hydra, centaurs, and other interesting creatures, I was curious!
Read on to find out what other monsters and creatures of myth are inside Monster Goose Nursery Rhymes and read my thoughts on the book.
