Trying to get a review up today, but my typical caffeine dose just didn’t cut it this morning, so I’m running behind. Maybe I can tide ya over with a couple of ratings from some reviews that are in progress:

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey 5 out of 5 stars
The Last Word by Lisa Lutz 4 out of 5 stars
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman 5 out of 5 stars
Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan 4 out of 5 stars (this one might turn into 5 by the time I’m done writing the review)

Yeah, I’m in the middle of a good streak right now. Won’t last forever, but I’m enjoying the ride.

Big News: I may have secured an interview with the author of one of my favorite books of 2012 — and I’m sure the sequel will be in the running this year, too — I just have to read it. I’ll let you know more as details arise. Super-excited about this.
