This past week we gave the spotlight to Fly Free, the first book in Allison Rose’s Fantasy series, The Light of Faerie! Our Roadies brought a wide selection of content to this show with reviews, interviews, and other posts. Now it’s time to bring the show to an end and it’s my pleasure to present you with the encore, including some extra content. Come and learn a bit more about the world of Fly Free through our Q&A with Allison. And don’t forget to enter the giveaway to win a paperback copy of Fly Free!
Timy’s Top 10 Reads of 2020
After some debate, we decided that instead of doing one short (top 3 reads each which would have been downright cruelty to ourselves), or one very long (top 10 reads each, squeezed together) post on our favorite reads in 2020, we’ll do three separate ones. Mainly because we’d like to highlight as many books as we can, regardless of when they were released, if they are indie, self-published, or traditionally published. The only criteria were that we had to read it in 2020. And maybe like it too. A tiny bit. Maybe. Next up is Timy’s Top 10 Reads of 2020.
Party with the Stars: Shaun Paul Stevens
Have you ever wondered what might happen if you could throw a party of your choice and not only could you invite your MC(s) but other literary figures as well? In this feature I ask you to imagine exactly that scenario and some more. Meet Shaun Paul Stevens and his guests and let’s get the party started! You can also read an excerpt from his book!
The Killer Across the Table by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker
I’ve been interested in True Crime stories for years now. When I want to watch TV but there is nothing on, I always end up with Investigation Discovery as a default. I’ve been watching almost all of the CSI episodes (although I’m aware that investigations don’t quite work like that) and for a while, I was addicted to Criminal Minds. I’ve been wanting to read some True Crime books, but I never really got around to it and I had no idea where to start it. I came across The Killer Across the Table due to luck, little did I know that there is no better person than John E. Douglas to introduce me to the genre.
Cover Reveal: Stones of Light by Zack Argyle
Organized by Storytellers On Tour, today, along with several other bloggers, we present to you the cover of Stones of Light by Zack Argyle! Make sure to check out their posts as well!
We Lie With Death by Devin Madson
We Lie With Death is cleverly written, intricate and addictive, merging genres like it’s the most natural thing in the world while handling topics with a sensitivity that shows Madson’s genius. If you didn’t read We Ride the Storm yet, start it now because you don’t want to miss out on We Lie With Death!
What’s to come? – January 2021
After taking some time off (haha, as if, let’s not think about how many hours I spent with Photoshop among other things, shall we), we are back in full force. There will be quite a few reviews coming in January and we start getting SPFBO reviews out as well. And I’m planning to resurrect an old feature too. As well as launching my own reading challenge for 2021, but more about that tomorrow.
Announcing Queen’s Book Asylum!
Changes are never easy. Changing the name of a brand is not taken lightly, believe me. And still, here we are, me nervously typing this post up and you reading it, wondering maybe, what the hell this chick is doing. So I tell you what: I’m changing the name of my blog to Queen’s Book Asylum. There, I said it.
Monthly Wrap Up: December 2020
Can you believe it’s already December? This year went by so fast, even if sometimes it seemed like time was dragging. It’s traditionally time to look back at the year, but I’ll keep most of that for the annual anniversary post in March. Here I’m only going to say that I basically met non of my goals set for myself. But then, 2020 brought on challenges none of us saw coming. We’ve been taking things easy in December to give us some breathing room, so we only had a couple of reviews and tour encore posts.
War of the God Queen by David Hambling
After hosting the cover reveal for War of the God Queen, David Hambling kindly provided me a paperback copy as a gift. As I enjoyed his Harry Stubbs series (I can prove this with my reviews of The Elder Ice, Broken Meats and Alien Stars), I also agreed to review his latest epic fantasy novel, the first in a new series, Age of Monsters, as well.
