The Dead of Winter by Lee Collins
I was all in from the get go
Cowboy Up Fantasy
A hard ride from chute to buzzer
Cora Oglesby is the real deal
She and her man Ben hunt things
Things that go bump in the night
Demons, Vampire, all ilk of Evil
They don't truck with failure
They always get back in the saddle
Cora drinks too much
Ben reads too much
A match made in heaven
This is Dark Fantasy
The Wind Chill?
It'll brittle your bones
Book two of the Cora Oglesby series
She Returns From War
On my short list, to be read Soon!
Ray LaMontagne
God Willin’ & the Creek don’t Rise
The Holders / Julianna Scott / Exciting YA
Julianna Scott has started with a bang
The Holders, first of a series
Gripped from start to finish
Becca and brother Ryland are special
Strange voices in little brother's head
A mysterious father
Becca thinks herself, nothing special
Much to be discovered
Taking care of the family was Becca's only focus
Protecting Ryland, a full time job
When the real action starts
It is relentless
Romance rears it's beautiful head
A dynamic story for dynamic minds and hearts
The magic is just introduced here
There is so much to learn
Readers will be intrigued
Like me they will want to learn more
Strange Chemistry, is to YA
What Angry Robot is to SF&F
Cherry picking new and used authors
The skim cream
I am rarely disappointed
New music in the library

Cory Doctorow / Homeland / Paranoia In/Of America
Cory Doctorow Delivers
Homeland
Sequel to Little Brother ((blog post) read the post)
The paranoia continues
Marcus Yallow is once again called to duty
He has a jump drive full of incendiary information
Exposing some egregious players
Some Corporate, some Government
What's a poor boy to do
"Get Up, Stand Up: Stand Up For Your Rights!" (Bob Marley)
Marcus stands up, and does what Marcus does best
Real World techie, geeky, hactivist, anonymous stuff
As with Little Brother and Homeland
Are more than exciting reads
They shout to the reader to be a good citizen
To be an active participant in our Democracy
The books disdain bad hackers
The books disdain bad government
The books challenge the reader
The books challenge the government
Be as good a person as you can be
Govern the best you can govern
Work to correct what is not right
Expose what is simply wrong
The Afterword written by Aaron Swartz
Enlightens
Aaron is no longer with us
Cory's homage to Arron is a Must Read
The people's music
Legend: the Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers
Bob Marley and the Wailers

Brenda Cooper / The Creative Fire / Evita In Space
Brenda Cooper wrote with intent
The story of Evita Peron
Told on a generations ship
Late in a very long voyage
The Creative Fire
Book one of Ruby's Song
Kindling lit brightly
The reader drawn to the flame
Ruby, a strong and driven protagonist
Unwilling to bend to the will of her oppressors
Drawing others into the fight
Finding others who have been fighting
It can't be a normal battle
The ship must be maintained
The deep dark is a killer
You must protect the ship
The characters are fully fleshed
Complex and conflicted
Sure and unsure of themselves
Suffering the Human Condition
Readers will delight
The book is a Nebula Award finalist
Music to consider

The Steampunk Chronicles / Kady Cross / Books 1 & 2
Got lost in YA the other day
Came up for air after two and a half fast reads
Kady Cross knocked me out
Book 1 The Girl in the Steel Corset
Starts with a bang
It opens with the novella; I had read on a device
The Strange Case of Finley Jane
Finley is introduced
Her uniqueness is revealed
Her character is defined
You are left wanting
More Please
I burned through the book immediately
Other unique friends are boarded
Plot thickens and knuckles whiten
Loads of excitement
Book 2's title teases
The Girl in the Clockwork Collar
Leaving London for Manhattan
The social dynamics change
It is America after all
A new villain
A new plot
Finley Jane is getting comfortable with her uniqueness
The other players become more complex
The Steampunk Chronicles are off and running
I forgot to mention
The publisher is Harlequin Teen
The romantic tensions are a delight
If you are old and think of Harlequin like me
This book will change your thinking, utterly
Music
New to the collection
The Avett Brothers
I and Love and You (2009)
