Monday Night Gaming: Geek Girl Style
We spent this past weekend at Geek Girl Con, which was loads of fun! Think of a con truly for geeks (all genders) that doesn’t have a sizable percentage of attendees thinking that “fake” geek girls exist. I saw people Read More…
Amaskan’s Blood Cover Reveal
Wanna see something awesome? How about the Amaskan’s Blood Cover Reveal? I was going to wait until after Geek Girl Con but if you know me, you know I can’t keep secrets worth a damn. Well, if they’re really super Read More…
Flashback Friday: Amber
Robert Zelazny. Talk about takin’ it back old school. Nine Princes in Amber to be exact–the first in the Amber series. This series was probably the longest series I read in middle school, having given up on Xanth with Ogre, Read More…

Book Cover Throwback: Heinlein
This week’s Book Cover Throwback is from Robert Heinlein. Besides being an amazing story, the cover to this book is just breathtakingly gorgeous. I honestly miss the days when book covers were works of art, rather than the same photoshopped, Read More…
