Smugglers’ Stash & News

Posted on March 24, 2013

Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday! Let’s keep this short and sweet, shall we?

This Week on The Book Smugglers:

On Monday, Ana kicks off the week with a double review of science fiction novellas Adrift on a Sea of Rains and The Eye With Which The Universe Beholds Itself by Ian Sales – the first two titles in the Apollo Quartet.

Tuesday, it’s Thea’s turn with a review of another science fiction novel, Quicksilver by R.J. Anderson, the followup to 2011’s awesome Ultraviolet.

Then, for Old School Wednesday, Thea tackles Deerskin by Robin McKinley, a retelling of the (disturbing) Thousandfurs from the Brothers Grimm.

On Thursday, Ana reviews contemporary YA novel The Difference Between You and Me by Madeleine George.

And on Friday, we close out the week with a review of YA fantasy novel Emilie and the Hollow World by Martha Wells. Plus, Thea is over at Kirkus with a review of 2012 Andre Norton Award Nominee Above by Leah Bobet.

Phew. It’s another busy one! Until tomorrow, we remain…

Ooooooooooh, Emilie and the Hollow World coming up soon, too? March and April are turning out to be extra good reading months.

Emilie & the Hollow World sounds great. I added it to my list. I’ll be interested in your review of Deerskin. I read it years ago. Disturbing? Yes.

I’m not familiar with the Thousandfurs tale by the Brothers Grimm but find it unsurprising it’s disturbing. So many of the original old fairy tales are.

As always, I’m looking forward to your reviews.
