Good new urban/paranormal fantasy series.

Silly. Fun. Definitely light reading but how can you not like a book where rhubarb pie is a major plot point?

Reminded me of Bryson's “At Home” albeit with a narrower focus.

Sanderson rocks. I have no idea how he keeps coming up with such interesting magic systems.

I love Jane Goodall but this particular book was light on science details and really aimed at a younger audience. But hey, it was a cheapie Kindle book and I did enjoy it.

I adore these absolutely fabulous books!

Great book from the author of “The Disappearing Spoon” (one of my all time favorite nonfiction books).

View

I utterly adore these books. The Incryptid books (and short stories) are so much fun!

Meh. Least favorite Nix book with the exception of “Ragwitch” so far. It was ok. But I'm accustomed to much more than ok from Nix. Ah well. Can't love ‘em all.

Definitely would have benefited from another draft or two with a good editor. It's a decent story but it needed someone to weed out the old tropes like “emerald eyes” and whatnot.

Great new series.

Good start to the series. I'll definitely pick up the next one.

Listened again and still think it's freakin' hilarious/awesome.

Excellent book. Mediocre audio version due to the narrator mispronouncing words. Go for the dead tree version. For full enjoyment, read Jim Hines' “Goblin Tale” books first so you know all about Smudge (it's not necessary to enjoy “Libriomancer” but I think it adds personal satisfaction).

Great overview of the people and politics involved. For me, it's only 3 stars because I wanted way more engineering and that was mostly glossed over.

In general, I like Martinez. This one was good but it's not my favorite (I think that one would be “Too Many Curses”).

View

Really 3.5. Some (most?) of the book was top notch but there was one really meh part. Very interesting other than that section though.

This was amazing. The trilogy just kept getting better. In some ways, it reminded me of Bujold's Chalion books and that is high praise indeed! My only regret was the wretched narrator they used for Dante in this book.

Another fine addition to “The Laundry Files”. I just adore this series and the audiobook versions are great.

View

Fabulous new YA series.

View

If you like Dresden or Carey, give this series a go because I'm quite sure you'll like it.

Need to back up to read the first two now!

Loved this book! My only regret is not reading it sooner. And for the audio version, the narrator (Phil Gigante) did one of the best narrations I have ever listened to. Ever.

Update: Listened again and loved it just as much.

Fun book. Glad I took a chance on it during an Audible sale.

Total utter surprise. A delightful book that started slow and then just pulled me in.
