Rantings and Ravings: My Journey Through SF&F.

As a huge Fantasy bookworm (and occasionally SciFi as well) I have stumbled along blindly through the SF&F section at my local bookstores. I am hoping that through this little "blog" I can let others learn from my findings, and I can learn too if anyone else would like to share!

Welcome!

This is my very first entry. I will now pause for the customary celebrations. Champagne, balloons, and confetti are expected but should be cleaned up promptly following the festivities.
*pause*

Ok. Now that we have that out of the way... Here is how this will go for me. Throughout the next months, years, or what-have-you, I will publicly reveal what I have read, am reading, or will read and my opinions on these books. I have several predjudices I wish to get out in the open. I have compiled these literary predjudices into a list.

1. I prefer, nearly without exception, fantasy over any other genre.
2. It is my belief that a series of books is almost always better than a solitary book.
3. I cling to the authors that first introduced me to the genre like barnacles on a ship's hull. You can not tear me from them. They are like family. Thus I will forgive more from said authors than other, more recent discoveries.

I will try as hard as I can to have at least one new review every two weeks. This is a lot. That's at least 24 books a year and, well, I have a full-time job too so you can't expect more than that!! You will find on the sidebar my posting history (archives) and a list of links. I will have a link related to every author I post about so that you can do some more research before deciding to read. From time to time I will include other sites that are simply interesting to me. I will try and group them at the bottom of the list. Cheers and happy reading!
