52 Book Pick Up: Episode 2021

January 1, 2022 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

Spoilers before we begin, it's more than 52 books. This post was meant to go up yesterday, as my usual year end wrap up, but I was felled first by the news of Betty White's passing, and then by the Mother of All Migraines. I had an excellent reading year, and the Bookstagram project that … Continue reading 52 Book Pick Up: Episode 2021

Second Verse, Same as the First

December 30, 2021December 30, 2021 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

I didn't go back and read what I wrote at the end of Our Year of the Collective Dumpster Fire 2020, because it didn't really matter. Just like it doesn't really matter what I write about Our Year of Dystopian Hellscape 2021, because you all lived it too. So let's get straight into the Year … Continue reading Second Verse, Same as the First

Fifty Book Pick Up: 2020 Edition

December 31, 2020 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

In this, the Year of Our Collective Dumpster Fire 2020, I almost did not make it to my goal of 50 books. My reading suffered until late in the year when a new project with a friend gave it a necessary boost. Shameless plug-- if you're on Instagram, check out @Andanotherthingreaders for all your YA … Continue reading Fifty Book Pick Up: 2020 Edition

Moving the Goals Post

December 30, 2020 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

I probably ought to have just crossed out the 0 and replaced it with a 1 on my 2020 list of things I wanted to accomplish this past year, because I hit very few of them. I think that's probably true of everyone. I didn't, though. I erased the whole thing and we're going to … Continue reading Moving the Goals Post

Swashbuckling Cats, Ahoy!

May 27, 2020May 27, 2020 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

Tyche Books' anthology, Swashbuckling Cats: Nine Lives on the Seven Seas, is out in the wild today! It is, as you may have guessed, an anthology of short fiction featuring stories about pirate cats. Here's the blurb: If you think cats and water don’t mix, think again. Plunge into worlds of piratical cats: some selfish, … Continue reading Swashbuckling Cats, Ahoy!

Fifty Book Pick Up: 2019 Edition

December 31, 2019 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

It's New Year's Eve, which means it's time to make a list of everything I read this year and pick some favorites. I aim for five best books of the year, usually, and every year I fail to limit myself to five. So let's go! In no particular order: (actually that's a lie; the list … Continue reading Fifty Book Pick Up: 2019 Edition

REVIEW: We Set The Dark On Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia

April 8, 2019 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

I devoured this book. I grabbed it from the library last week, because it was on my list, but I couldn't really remember what it was about. But it had a good title and a pretty cover. We Set the Dark on Fire starts with a myth, of a sun god and a salt god, … Continue reading REVIEW: We Set The Dark On Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia

REVIEW: Here and Now and Then- Mike Chen

March 9, 2019 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

One of my favorite parts of my Patreon page (which you can subscribe to HERE) is my book blogging monthly column, Canon Blast, where I read and pick apart a work in the SFF Canon. In the interest of book blogging more, I'm going to try to do little write ups of things as I … Continue reading REVIEW: Here and Now and Then- Mike Chen

Goals Post (Not the Sportsball Kind)

December 31, 2018December 31, 2018 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

2018 has lasted an eternity and also somehow flown by at the same time. I'm not sure how that happens. I honestly can't remember what happened when. Rationally, and according to the google machine, I know movies like Black Panther came out this year, etc, but I'm also pretty confident that was like ten years … Continue reading Goals Post (Not the Sportsball Kind)

Year in Books 2018

December 31, 2018December 31, 2018 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ 1 Comment

It's December 31, which means it's time to take stock of what I read this year and pick some favorites. TOP FIVE (in no particular order): Annihilation-- Jeff Vandermeer Go ahead and watch the movie, but it's nothing at all like the book. Annihilation is the first book in the Southern Reach Trilogy, and I … Continue reading Year in Books 2018
