This week I’m planning on rolling out a TON of “Best of” lists: Best books of 2016, Best Audiobooks of 2016, Most anticipated releases in 2017, and whatever else. This will be the week of lists. But… I’m finishing up a few books right now which, I’m pretty sure, will land on some “Best of”…

About the Book A massive army on the brink of conquest looms large in a world where prophecies are lies, magic is believed in but never seen, and hope is where you least expect to find it. Welcome to the Five Isles, where war has come in the name of the invading army of Sør…

Yeah, so I’m a little late with this. If you follow the SPFBO at all, then you’ll probably already know who the finalists are, but I’ll put them all here just in case you missed it. I’m going to do this round the same way I did the finalists last year. I’m going to read…

About the Book Seventeen-year-old Isaak discovers the truth about his origin and the underground forces that must come together to fight against a secret government organization formed to eradicate those like him in this high-octane science fiction debut. There once was a boy who was made, not created. In a single night, Isaak’s life changed…

I thought long and hard about putting a review up today, but then I figured that, at least in my neck of the woods, no one will really be thinking about books. We are voting in America, and it’s such a huge, important election. I’m for only thinking about voting today, so I’m not going…

About the Book Angel Crawford is finally starting to get used to life as a brain-eating zombie, but her problems are far from over.
