Foolish boy that I am
I unwittingly requested and received
The eARC for Mystic by Jason Denzel
Not paying attention
Did not notice
I only got a "Preview Excerpt"
Most of the book was there
Not the last chapters of the book
I burned through the ARC
Smokn' Hot Story
Totally Captivated
The ARC stopped short
What Happens Next??
Bummed, Sad, Dejected
Just could not bring myself to post a reaction
I had not finished the book
I waited
The book finally arrived
I burned my way to the finish
Great Stuff!
Near the end
Yikes! Philip Pullman could have written this
Not a comfortable conclusion
But wait, another chapter to read
One of the best
Lonely serf girl tries to make good
Wants to be a Mystic
Magic maker of the forest and such
This is one terrific Heroic Myth
All the elements are present
A must read
New Music to the library
An old friend of mine from 1973
Over-nite Sensation
Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention
One of my persona all-time favorite songs Montana
Fran Wilde / Updraft / Wonderful World Build
In a city rising higher and higher
Built of living, growing bone spires
People fly everywhere
All trade is carried by flyers
Kirit Densira is coming of age
Kirit wants nothing more than to be a trader
Her mother is one of the best
Her missing father, one of the best
Politics being politics, there is a Catch 22
Kirit must strap on her wings
The Wing Test is her only path to being a trader
The fail in this Heroic Journey is spectacular
The journey after failure, amazing
Kirit is someone you want to get to know
Someone you want to cheer for
The story, so much more than you think at first reading
Updraft book 1 of Bone Universe, will stay with you
You will wait impatiently with me for more
Fran Wilde has penned an outstanding debut novel
Fran Wilde is on my Must Read list
Music you didn't know about but want to hear
The Green
James Maddock, a songwriter's songwriter

Marianne De Pierres / Mythmaker / The Story Just Keeps Getting Better
I really enjoyed Peacemaker (post)
The idea of the last natural lands on the planet
A young woman trying to keep it safe
The rest of the world interfering with her work
Mythmaker, book 2 of the Peacemaker Series
More engaging than Peacemaker, if that is even possible
Broadened the scope of the story
And upped the ante in danger to park and planet
Virgin Jackson more endearing than ever
Mythos, demons you may or may not be familiar with
Are showing up more frequently
In greater numbers
They are everywhere
Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!
Not everyone can see the Mythos
Not just anything can kill a Mythos
Virgin Jackson and Nate Sixkiller can
Virgin Jackson is now on assignment
Working for the GJIC (Global Joint Intelligence Commission)
With US Marshal Nate Sixkiller
Tasked to stop the Mythos
Not a simple thing to do
Least I forget to tell you
The head of the GJIC, Commander Orlean
The woman who abandoned Virgin and her father so long ago
Did not know she was even alive
Virgin's mother, Yikes!
Life can be so complicated
This is terrific urban fantasy
The world is a delight to read about
The city next to the park, messy, wonderfully messy
Virgin Jackson more likable with every turn of the page
Marianne De Pierres, take a bow, Standing Ovation!
Publisher of this mash-up?
Angry Robot of course
Might fine music at the library
Nashville Obsolete / Dave Rawlings Machine

Matt Hill / Graft / 448 Pages of 'wth' / That's Right Mascara Snake, What The Heck
Who'd a thunk it?
Matt Hill thought of it
Graft
Sizzling, Bizarre, Shiny
Okay, Okay
There is nothing Shiny here
Maybe a clean car
It's 2025 Manchester England
Everything sucks, big time
Sol runs a chop shop
Old cars for old parts
Why oh why did they jack a shiny new Lexus
Big mistake, really Big mistake
I've just finished the eARC
Thank you Angry Robot!
Often a little confused
My mind miss-directing itself
Thinking I "knew" something
I didn't
Always Locked-In
Full of Wonderment, ooh
About the Lexus
There was a surprise in the boot
A woman
A woman with three arms
"Made to order"
Something new in music
The Milk Carton Kids
Monterey
Don't miss it

C. A. Higgins / Lightless / Brilliant Debut / Hard Sci-Fi / Social Sci-Fi
I love Hard Sci-Fi full of real science
I love Social Sci-Fi full of serious social issues
Do all of the above in one story
And Illuminate the Human Condition
What more could I ask for
Lightless by C. A. Higgins
Does it all
The Ship (the Ananke) is magnificent
Think big, as in Death Star big
We do not know it's purpose
On the ship a crew of 3
You heard me right, only 3 crew members
And an awakening computer
Althea, the engineer, designed much
Coded the computer
Ananke is hers and hers alone
Ananke is her child
Althea will protect her child
This book is on many Best of 2015 lists
With good reason
Music from 1988
Steve Earle / Copperhead Road
