Review: The Magicians

Ashley 12 days ago
www.galleysmith.com ― I read this book a while ago (a year, maybe?). It's fun to stumble across reviews for books you loved but have forgotten the details from. I'm glad to read that Galleysmith liked this one, too. (Fantasy & Sci-Fi)

The Windup Girl

I am 40 pages from the end of this one, and it's captivating. Such a unique work of speculative fiction. So many dystopic novels tends to be variations on the same theme. This one truly goes in its own direction. Read what BoingBoing has to say here... (Fantasy & Sci-Fi)

I love me some catastrophic, post-apocalyptic fiction, and I've read and enjoyed (a lot) two of the books on this list. I'm pretty Meh on The Road. It seems like I need to track down the other two from The Millions' catastrophic summer reading list. (Fantasy & Sci-Fi)
