Up Wish Creek

I received an ARC from one of my favorite authors, and tonight I had a great read.


UP WISH CREEK, by B.E. Sanderson, is the latest in the Once Upon a Djinn series. It's fast-paced, surprising, funny, and exciting. I was sad to have it end -- I want MORE!


Definitely a 5 Star novel, and highly recommended.

A Quick Review of "In Deep Wish" by B.E. Sanderson

In Deep Wish by B.E. Sanderson

I won an ARC for "In Deep Wish" and I've had trouble putting it down since it arrived!

It's a fun, fast-paced urban fantasy with lots of surprises. And it's not your usual urban fantasy. Jo is a genie with a mission to save her fellow djinn, who have been enslaved for eons. But the "Rules" interfere with her success -- and even with her very survival.

It's the second in this great series, and I can hardly wait for the third one to become available.

Review of Wish in One Hand

Wish in One Hand by B.E. Sanderson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
 
I stayed up way too late finishing this novel - I couldn't put it down! It's the best urban fantasy I've read in ages.

Becoming a djinn doesn't slow Jo down, but it doesn't make her all-powerful, either. She's a sparky yet vulnerable woman who's determined to do her best for the people who rely on her.

Highly recommended!

I won this book in a giveaway, and I'm very happy I did.

Wind in the Willows

Late last night I remembered the first fantasy book I ever read - well, almost read. My dad came home from a business trip with a present for me. A book! I was nine years old and completely in love with books. I started Wind in the Willows that night.

I've never finished it. I remember stopping because it made me sad. I don't remember why. I think one of the characters had died, or was about to die. I remember more about the rare occurance of not finishing a book than I do about the novel. It's been 44 years, and I still haven't finished that book. I think it's time I found a copy.

I think my first Science Fiction novel was A Wrinkle in Time. I still own that book, and reread it every 20 years. I keep meaning to get the sequels, but for some reason I've never remembered to pick them up.

Memory is a tricky beast.
