  This ghost had his stomping ground-the church on the hilltop, right outside of the confines of this small provincial town in England. The westerly winds chilled the air, causing the villagers’ to have ghostly breath of their own. Was each errant breath of these churchgoers a significant sign that they were bound to die eventually?   …

Note for all readers:  A Bibliophile’s Reverie is going through some grand, slightly unprecedented changes. I’m well aware that I’ve been hinting at this for the last few months, but these changes will slowly be appearing on this blog over the course of the new few months.

 Sorry blog readers, I’ve been seriously over-consumed by my  obsession with my current senior thesis about the Chronicles of Narnia and His Dark Materials.    Anyways, I haven’t forgotten about this blog.

        By now, I’m fairly certain that all my readers are more than abundantly aware of my Anne Rice fandom. If not,its very easy to peruse through my cache of past posts, and evidence my fervent appreciation for both her novels.     As a huge fan of her last novel, The Wolf…

   After my post yesterday about my re-read of Touch of Power, I thought to myself “Maybe, I’m being a little too unfair in my comparisons between Touch of Power and Poison Study.” I was comparing a book that I re-read more recently, and another series that I have much vaguer memories of.

                Amazon (Kindle)/Barnes&Nobles (Nook)       The release of a new Maria V. Snyder is becoming a yearly event, and I’m one of those readers that keeps a close eye on both her “website” and emailed newsletters about any mention of upcoming new releases from her. I still…

Interview with Susan Heyboer O’Keefe, Author of Frankenstein’s Monster    Author’s Note: Its been awhile, and part of the delay stems from the fact that I’ve been resting for the last two weeks- I don’t think I’ve watched as much Carl Sagan’s Cosmos  at any other time in my life.

Review of Eve Mont’s A Breath of Eyre Amazon/Barnes and Nobles Disclaimer: Ignore the feminine cover and read it regardless of the targeted readership!    Of course, I started reading the book with certain preconceived notions, since it was a young-adult novel.  Lately,I have been a bit disillusioned with young-adult fiction, ever since the Twilight love-triangle become the predominant romance…
