#BookReview – THE PALACE OF LOST MEMORIES by C.J. Archer #historicalfantasy #fantasy
I read this one back in December, but held off writing my review until I’d read the entire series – always a good sign! I did read one or two other books in between, but always purchased the next in this 6 book series as soon as I’d finished the previous one. The setting is […]
#BookReview: The Snow Queen – The Complete Saga by K.M. Shea #fantasy
Another book review from my reading binge while recovering from surgery. This one was a bargain boxset, and I liked both the cover and the blurb. Blurb Rakel is a princess who should have been queen. Instead, as a despised magic user she has spent most of her life exiled on a barren mountain, alone […]
Is a FREE promo still worth doing? #bookmarketing
In the past, FREE promos saw huge downloads and, although it costs plenty to advertise a free book (sometimes more than a reduced price book!), still provided a good ROI (return on investment) as a result of sales of the author’s other books, especially if the free book was #1 in a series. I’ve seen […]
#BookReview – THE NECROMANCER’S DAUGHTER by D. Wallace Peach #fantasy
Catching up on the reviews of the many books I read while recovering from my operations last year. This one is a classic ‘couldn’t put it down’, as I’ve come to expect from this author. The Necromancer’s Daughter by D. Wallace Peach My rating: 5 of 5 stars The queen of Verdane died in childbirth, […]
#BookReview FITZ AND THE FOOL #2 & #3 by Robin Hobb
To get back in the swing of regular blogging I’m going to start with a pair of reviews from last year’s reading – books #2 & #3 from Robin Hobb’s FITZ AND THE FOOL trilogy: FOOLS QUEST and ASSASSIN’S FATE. When I did my review of book #1, FOOL’S ASSASSIN, many of you weighed in […]
***FREE*** THE PRINCE’S MAN, book #1 in the completed series #epicfantasy
For the first (and possibly only) time, book 1 (ebook) in my highly rated Five Kingdoms epic fantasy series is available at all outlets for ***FREE*** Blurb: Rustam Chalice, gigolo and spy, loves his lifestyle just the way it is, so when the kingdom he serves is threatened from within, he leaps into action. Only […]
SORA’S QUEST by T.L. Shreffler #BookReview #EpicFantasy
Another of the many books I read while laid up following my recent hip replacement – which, by the way is going very well. I’m now 3 months post op and aside from pulling a muscle (too enthusiastic with my PT exercises, surprise, surprise), it’s pretty much fixed. 4 months is the magic number for […]
FOOL’S ASSASSIN by Robin Hobb #fantasy #BookReview
Blurb ‘Fantasy as it ought to be written’ George R.R. Martin Robin Hobb returns to her best loved characters in a brand new series. Tom Badgerlock has been living peaceably in the manor house at Withywoods with his beloved wife Molly these many years, the estate a reward to his family for loyal service to […]
#BookReview THE RAVEN AND THE DOVE by Kaitlyn Davis #epicfantasy #YAfantasy
Just a review this week – life has taken a sideways slip so I’m taking the chance to catch up by posting a review from one of the many books I read earlier this year. The Raven and the Dove by Kaitlyn Davis My rating: 4 of 5 stars Described as an ‘epic fantasy retelling […]
#BookReview Scales and Sensibility by Stephanie Burgis #RegencyFantasy
I was in the mood for something light and fluffy, and this one caught my eye. According to the reviews, it isn’t to everyone’s taste, but I thoroughly enjoyed it – for me, it did precisely what it says on the tin. Blurb: Sensible, practical Elinor Tregarth really did plan to be the model poor […]
