Throwback Thursday – Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist

throwbackthursday

Renee began Throwback Thursday at Its Book Talk as a way to share some of her old favorites as well as sharing books that she wants to read that were published over a year ago. Books that were published over a year ago are almost always easier to find at libraries or at a discounted sale price. As I have been sifting through my TBR list and purging those books that no longer hold my interest, I came across several from years past that I’d love to share with you! Continue reading

Top Ten Tuesday – Books that Feature Yummy Food

b9791-toptentuesday2

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a topic and you are free to use that topic and/or variations of that topic to make your top ten list. You don’t have to do all ten. Instead you can do three, five, fifteen, whatever you want. A full list of the weekly themes can be found here.

This week on Top Ten Tuesday, our theme is Top Ten Yummy Foods Mentioned In Books (Does a character eat something you’d love? Or maybe the book takes place in a bakery/restaurant that makes yummy things? You could also talk about 10 of your favorite cookbooks if you don’t read foody books.). Rather than my usual rambling about each book and why I chose it I’ll try to keep it brief. Incredibly brief as my original draft for this post went poof and disappeared and I didn’t notice until I went to hit post…

Cover Reveal – Ace of Shades (The Shadow Game #1) by Amanda Foody

COVERREVEALaceofshades

There is nothing quite like an eye catching book cover, is there? It can pull you in and beg for your purchase without you even knowing anything about the book. Author Amanda Foody announced her next book, Ace of Shades, a few months ago. Since I loved her first novel (cover and all), Daughter of the Burning City, I was excited to see what Ace of Shades would bring.

Yesterday was the big cover reveal for Shades and I have to say that I am a little disappointed. I like the blood red almost wallpaper background and the imposing shadow of a sinister city but the card tower is very lackluster. It just doesn’t have the pizzazz I was hoping for. Take a look at the upcoming novel… Continue reading

Each week in my Book Spotlight piece I will be bringing you an upcoming release. These books are ones I am excited about whether they be from a new or an established author. This week we have an upcoming release from an author I have read two books from in the past. The first book in this series titled The Invisible Library got a solid 5 stars from me while the second book, The Masked Citywasn’t quite as good but was still entertaining.

My blogging weekends thus far have been sporadic. When I do post on the weekend it is usually a tag or something else unplanned. Instead, I’m going to try doing a weekly wrap up each weekend and see how it feels. Here’s how it will go…

Each Sunday I will post a wrap up of my week. While this post will mainly be reading and/or writing related. I will also include items and events from my daily life. Welcome to Literary Weaponry’s Weekly Wrap Up! (October 9 – October 15 2017) Continue reading

Reasons Why I DNF Books

WHYIDNF

The idea of not finishing books causes different reactions in different people. There are those that are adamantly against it and finish every single book they pick up no matter what. Period. There is the type of reader that does accidental DNFing. Those are the folks that put down a book fully intending to pick it back up later and just don’t. Then, there are people like me. I toss books in the good ole’ DNF pile with surprising regularity and don’t feel a bit bad about it. But what causes me to DNF a book? Continue reading
