About
April 9, 2007
My name is Donna and I’m a geek. I like reading fantasies of all types along with the occasional odd nonfiction book about history or natural science. In addition to being a total book nerd, I’m into gaming, horror movies, knitting, and beer.
Urban fantasy is a type of fiction that involves a supernatural story in a modern setting. I’ll mostly be writing about books that fall into this category, though I’ll also include some books that use supernatural elements in historical or more futuristic settings. I’ll also be mentioning other media and even books from other genres that may be interesting to urban fantasy fans.
I’ll say right up front that I don’t enjoy paranormal romance novels. I love a hot romantic subplot as much as the next gal, but for me it needs to stay a subplot. If the story only serves to move the characters from one make-out session to another, I’m not going to like it. In fact, I’m probably going to make fun of it. No offense to those who enjoy them, I’m the last one who needs to criticize anyone else’s taste. I’ve just never been a romance novel fan, and a romance novel with vampires in is still a romance novel.
I’m happy to accept copies of urban fantasy books to review. Please let me know a little about the book and if it would be more convenient to send a physical copy or an e-book. In the case of e-books, .prc or unrestricted .mobi formats are preferred. Unfortnuately, I don’t read .pdf formatted e-books because converting them for my reader is a nightmare.
