Reviews: The Space Between and iBoy
It’s time for the long-overdue post on books I read this summer. However, I’m going to start with books I failed to finish reading.
Surprisingly, there were only two: The Space Between, by Brenna Yovanoff, and iBoy, by Kevin Brooks. I have my reasons for throwing both of them across the room in disgust. Trigger warnings ahoy.
( Two dead books, and I really wasn't kidding about the trigger warning ) -
Not dead.
If anyone who reads this who doesn't talk to me otherwise was wondering, I'm not dead, just half-boiled (Heat indext today: 106. It's gotten to me not caring and just wearing whatever's not in the smelly laundry pile,) and I'll get on with the editing and posting of Silver in Eillen soon. Meanwhile, working on the sequel, Letters in Messian, and a ( Read more... ) -
Letters in Messian 1: Learning Something

2: The Rest ->
If Varin couldn’t hear her coming, he’d gone deaf. She didn’t run down the hall to the study that had once been her fathers, the study that Varin had filled with cheap knickknacks and unchecked books and careless signatures on documents that he’d never read. She walked ( Read more... ) -

Before the Light
Warnings: disturbing imagery, swearing, stalking behavior, general mind screw. That should be about it, let me know if there’s something I haven’t remembered to put up here. This is also in the running for the creepiest thing I’ve ever wrote.

Calli's Reviews: Under the Green Hill by Laura L. Sullivan
While inspired rants can be fun, it was high time to spend some time reviewing a book that I could actually reccomend. It might not be the right cup of tea for readers around here, but if you need to give a child a book (and really, if there is a child in your life, you should give them one,) I highly reccomend Under the Green Hill by Laura L. ( Read more... ) -
Haha, fictionpress
Apperently tutorials are popular, or me being snarky is amusing. I may have to crosspost that tutorial here, even though I wasn't planning on it and it's tailor-made for fictionpress. Which also means it's probably pretty provocative over there, because someone is going to take issue with the fact that summaries should be properly spelled and ( Read more... ) -
Silver in Eillen 10: Sweet Adversity
“Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.”

Silver in Eillen 8: Desires of the Moment
