I am pleased to welcome Wendy Wax, author of Magnolia Wednesdays to Peeking Between the Pages today. I had received Wendy's novel late and due to prior commitments my review of it will be at the end of this month but it is coming and I'm really looking forward to reading it.

Read This: The Unwritten: Tommy Taylor and the Bogus Identity One of the neatest twists during Neil Gaiman’s run on Sandman was Lucifer’s decision, at the end of one storyline, to abandon Hell and take an extended vacation on Earth; author Mike Carey and artist Peter Gross eventually picked up that narrative thread for another DC comic, Lucifer, which ran for six years—I didn’t read

I am so late writing this post!  But the Lord of the Rings Readalong is continuing, and I am combining the end-of-Fellowship questions from Clare and the start-of-Towers questions from Teresa all in one post.  I can do that. Since we’re dealing with the first third of a novel, instead of the first novel in a

Norse Code by Greg Van Eekhout Synopsis: The NorseCODE genome project was designed to identify descendants of Odin.

Given a sword and a new name, Mist’s job is to recruit soldiers for the war between the gods at the end of the world—and to kill those who refuse to fight. But as the twilight o...

Grenadian Banana Bread I just read Ann Vanderhoof's latest travel memoir, The Spice Necklace, and loved it. One of the things I found intriguing were the recipes at the end of each chapter, highlighting a speciality of the island she had been visiting in that chapter. Chapter 1 featured her time in Grenada, where the primary export is (was?) nutmeg. After Hurricane Ivan, hundreds of the nutmeg trees were destroyed ...
