What Janine is Reading – Late 2011/Early 2012

JanineReading ListsBarbara J. Hancock / Carolyn Jewel / Elizabeth Essex / Jacqueline-Carey / Julie-Anne-Long36 Comments

It’s been over three months (!) since my last “What Janine is Reading” post. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to do one of these – the holidays got in the way, but it’s been six weeks since they ended and for that I don’t have a ... more >

REVIEW: Kushiel's Mercy by Jacqueline Carey

JiaB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviewsamnesia / Fantasy Romance / Jacqueline-Carey / Magic10 Comments

Dear Ms. Carey, I loved the original Kushiel trilogy. I found the heroine Phèdre nó Delaunay, her story as a premier courtesan and the only anguisette in generations, and the Terre D’Ange setting fascinating and compelling. All those things were enough to keep me reading the second trilogy about her ... more >
