E-Book Review: Blissfire

Friday, November 22, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

I'm excited to announce I'm part of another blog tour and giveaway! This means you can enter a raffle to win a copy of Blissfire (see end of post). Blissfire is a collection of ten short stories, written in a poetic and lyrical way. The author, D.e.e.L., said that he was chasing his own bliss while writing the stories, and it really felt that way. These stories are personal, … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: Blissfire

Book Review: The Geek’s Guide to Dating

Monday, November 18, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

This is not a typical review, since I don’t usually review traditionally published books, but I am a fan of Quirk Books and Eric Smith. I actually met Eric a few years back at BEA, where I learned Quirk Books was the publisher of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. So how can you not like them? Anyway, Quirk Books is an independent publisher based in Philadelphia, and Eric … [Read more...] about Book Review: The Geek’s Guide to Dating

E-Book Review: Cinderella, an interactive EPUB3 book

Friday, September 20, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

Yay for EPUB3! Stanislav Ustymenko recently emailed me to let me know about his EPUB3 children’s book, Cinderella, with text by the original author Charles Perrault. Cinderella is one of the books available in the Fairy Tales for Clever Kids app, available on iTunes and developed by Teamich Inc. Currently the app only has two books, but they are some of the few books that … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: Cinderella, an interactive EPUB3 book

E-Book Review and Giveaway: The Emblazoned Red

Friday, September 6, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

First off, I'm part of a blog tour! And that means that along with my review and an excerpt of the book, you can enter to win a copy of The Emblazoned Red! Enter the raffle at the end of this post. And now for the review... I want to start by saying I really liked The Emblazoned Red. I thought it was well written, had a nice fast pace, and a lot of great conflict between … [Read more...] about E-Book Review and Giveaway: The Emblazoned Red

E-Book Review: Two

Friday, August 23, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

I loved Two. Having read all of Ron Glick’s fantasy novels in his multiple series, I can safely say that his writing and complex story telling abilities keep getting better and stronger. And they already started off strong. Two is (obviously) the second book in Glick’s The Godslayer Cycle series. While I did enjoy the first book, One, much of the book was spent setting up … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: Two

E-Book Review: Apocalypse

Friday, August 16, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

I met the author Justin Bruystens via Write or Read—he’s an alpha and beta tester who has provided invaluable feedback. When he told me the name of his e-book, I immediately purchased a copy. It sounded so cool—a bunch of apocalyptic short stories. I was not disappointed. Bruystens has a very eloquent style. His book is a mixture of short stories and poems, all loosely … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: Apocalypse

E-Book Review: The Prince and the Singularity

Friday, July 19, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

The title of The Prince and the Singularity: A Circular Tale is very apt. The story has many circles, which for the most part I found fascinating. It’s another great example of the experimenting you can do with self-publishing, and I really enjoyed how the author Pedro Barrento was upfront in the beginning of the book about what the story is: “It’s prose, but it reads … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: The Prince and the Singularity

E-Book Review: The Ugly American Quagmire

Friday, July 12, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

John Harnish is known for his humor and his way of pushing the envelope, as seen with his self-published “The Immortalization of Fuck” in 1972. One of his more recent books, The Ugly American Quagmire, fits this style. The whole 160 pages is basically dialogue between Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. Harnish, who is a descendant of Ben Franklin, has written a piece of … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: The Ugly American Quagmire

E-Book Review: The Condor Song

Thursday, June 27, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

Before I start this review I have an exciting announcement: For every book of The Condor Song purchased on Amazon on July 1, the author Darryl Nyznyk will donate $1 to The Sierra Club. So buy your copy on Monday, July 1! I had the great pleasure of receiving an advance reading copy of best selling author Darryl Nyznyk’s third novel, The Condor Song. The book is a novel of … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: The Condor Song

E-Book Review: The Wizard in Wonderland

Monday, May 27, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

This is now my third review of a Ron Glick book, and I have to say, I am a fan of him and his work. The one downside is he’s started three really addicting series, but so far there is only one book in each series (though I hear the second novel in The Godslayer Cycle will be out soon). His latest novel, which came out earlier this year, is The Wizard in Wonderland, which … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: The Wizard in Wonderland

E-Book Review: Tarinel’s Song

Friday, March 29, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

The author, Ron Glick, kindly provided me with a copy of his second novel, Tarinel’s Song. I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing his first novel, One, the first in a series about two sets of gods fighting against each other. Tarinel’s Song is the first in a series that involves elves, mages, and gods. In this book, a particular “song” spells the potential end of the … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: Tarinel’s Song

E-Book Review: Orphans

Wednesday, January 30, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

Orphans: Time is Running Out is a fast-paced thriller about vampires and their fight for survival in a world run by humans. Written by Ian Dewar, this story combines interesting historical facts about the cities it takes place in along with other elements in a typical thriller: action and fighting scenes, love interests, and a few sizzling sex scenes (though these scenes are … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: Orphans

E-Book Review: A Child Lost in Flight

Saturday, December 22, 2012 by Sabrina Ricci

A Child Lost in Flight is a first person, non-fiction narrative written by Mohan K. It’s a tragic story about the loss of a child during a plane flight, and a father’s process of dealing with the loss.   The story is heartbreaking, and full of unanswered questions. I got the feeling that writing this story was somewhat of a cathartic experience for the author. … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: A Child Lost in Flight

E-Book Review: One

Friday, December 21, 2012 by Sabrina Ricci

One is the first book of an epic nine book series on gods and god slayers. Ron Glick has created a very rich world, one that involves multiple religions, magic, and complicated relationships between the main characters. This first book revolves mostly around Nathanial Goodsmith, a man born to fulfill a prophecy to help what are known as the old gods. But there are many … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: One

E-Book Review: Golden Biker

Monday, December 17, 2012 by Sabrina Ricci

The Golden Biker is a tongue-in-cheek book, written by Alexander von Eisenhart Rothe. There is a lot of dark humor, which involves Nazis, drugs, shady characters, and a lot of adventure. Told through multiple points of view, the story is follows (at least) four main characters who, through a series of coincidences, end up traveling together in India. They are searching for … [Read more...] about E-Book Review: Golden Biker
