S. T. is a foul-mouthed domesticated crow looking to get back to his human after a zombie apocalypse. Of course, things go wrong...

Really funny, very original, spot on voicing of the various animals. Always suspected squirrels are really wild. 😂

Russian fairy tale turned really good fantasy - can't wait for the next!

Right brain? Left brain? Not what you think! Yeah, our brains are divided and asymmetrical, but the result is much deeper than what conventional wisdom would tell you.

Watching Bosch on Amazon Prime, thought I'd try the books. This was Connelly's first, so a little rough around the edges. Noir, for sure!

Cozy mystery with a 400 year old alchemist and a living gargoyle from Paris! Looking forward to the next one.

Reread, and loving it!

Magic powered spaceships? Pulling rabbits out of the hat to solve plot problems? Nah, not for me.

A group of misfit police in Naples isn't really the group of screw-ups and losers everybody's thinks they are. Maybe, in spite of their failings and flaws, they're heroes after all.

Really good Italian noir!

Napoleanic War with dragons? Yes, please!

Think you're a gamer? Ain't seen nothing til you've seen these games! North's one heckuva speculative fiction writer.

The US Congress is messed up by anyone‘s definition. But in the decades before the American Civil War, it was - unbelievably - worse. Even to the point of violence on the Capitol floor, mirroring society as a whole as they drove headlong into the Civil War. It‘s quite a story, and Freeman tells it well. And is a bit scary as we see the divisions today and wonder where all this is headed.

True story - once a month in Philadelphia, 82 of the top investigators and forensic specialists meet to solve cold cases. Named after renowned French policeman and rogue, the Vidocq Society only looks at cases more than two years old, and only at the request of the investigating police force, with a claimed 90% success rate. Capuzzo‘s telling of their story is fascinating, even if it does slip into the maudlin occasionally.

I'm really enjoying Schwab's concept of parallel worlds (and Londons) separated by magical influence. Plus the writing's top notch!

Joined today after the joint Litsy/LibraryThing meetup yesterday evening. Thanks, Tim, for getting me into the Exhibits to get all these great books!
