An Interview with Genevieve Cogman author of The Invisible Library

 Previously, I had reviewed this author’s book, The Invisible Library, and loved it!  (Click the title for the review) I was fortunate to have been given the chance to interview the author, Genevieve Cogman about the book, and it’s release June 14, 2016 in the United States.
Hi Genevieve, thank you so much for taking the time to answer a few questions for your readers.

ME:  I see that we have the love of fantasy in common! Your bio states that you grew up reading Tolkien, as did many of us, and I definitely see his influence in The Invisible Library, in the characters Silver and Kai. Your love for Sherlock Holmes was also referenced in this book. Did any other influences from your childhood reading surprise you while writing this book?  Continue reading “An Interview with Genevieve Cogman author of The Invisible Library” →

This Chick Read: The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead


The picture above is of Richelle Mead at the RT16 Book Fair in Vegas last April. I had her sign the copy she is holding above, and will raffle it off below, so please look for the link to win! THIS CONTEST IS OVER

Review:

When I read the synopsis for this book, I thought, ok, hasn’t this topic been done already? But, as I read the book, I realized, that while there is one similarity to The Selection by Kiera Cass, this book takes that general idea, and enhances it a thousand fold. Continue reading “This Chick Read: The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead” →

This Chick Read: Shut Out: A Bayard Hockey novel by Kelly Jamieson

Kelly Jamieson’s first book in the Bayard Hockey series has a great story, relatable characters, and delivers a serious mhessage. Shut Out is not your typical sex with puck bunnies kind of storyline ( yes, they really call them puck bunnies).  There was a lot of action, both on and off the ice, but the author’s storyline about consensual sex, gave this novel a very serious subject. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Shut Out: A Bayard Hockey novel by Kelly Jamieson” →

This Chick Read: Wicked Burn (Realm Enforcers #3) by Rebecca Zanetti

Rebecca Zanetti’s bio on Amazon says she wasn’t finished with the Dark Protectors series, so she created the Realm Enforces series, to continue some of these characters storylines. Thank Goodness for that! Zanetti created a world in the Dark Protectors series that had good Vampires and bad Vampires, a war, some psychics, shifters and witches, OH My!  I, along with the rest of the paranormal loving, reader universe ate these books up, Continue reading “This Chick Read: Wicked Burn (Realm Enforcers #3) by Rebecca Zanetti” →

This Chick Read: Before the Fall by Noah Hawley

This story starts with a plane crash and admittedly, as my father is a retired pilot, plane crashes are not my favorite subject to read about.  However, as the plot unfolded, the plane crash, although it was the impetus driving the plot, was not what this story was about.  This novel was about human nature.  Noah Hawley revealed each character’s strengths and flaws, Continue reading “This Chick Read: Before the Fall by Noah Hawley” →

In the first book of the Highland Magic series, Gifted Thief, Integrity Adair finds out about her heritage.  In this novel, she fights for the honor of house Adair by competing in the Sidhe Games.  Integrity is always ready with her wit, still delivering one liners that pretty much only she finds funny.  In these games she is at her wits end, as anything goes, and everyone is against her.

This Chick Read: Nobody But You by Jill Shalvis

This is the third book in the Cedar Ridge series and so far it is my favorite.  Jacob Kincaid is Hud’s twin, from the second book in the series My Kind of Wonderful.  Jacob left home at eighteen after having an argument with his brother, entered the Army Special Forces, and didn’t speak to his brother again.  He returns from a mission, having lost his best friend and brother in arms, and wants to go home to Cedar Ridge and reconnect with his family, and reunite with his brother Hud.   Continue reading “This Chick Read: Nobody But You by Jill Shalvis” →
