As you can probably tell from the reviews I’ve posted in the past couple of days, I survived my Master’s comprehensive exams. Oh, and I passed them.
Now… time to write a proposal for my not-a-thesis project. No rest for the wicked… or for the grad students.
BUT I do have a few more reviews coming down the pipeline! I just finished Gail Carriger’s Soulless, which I loved, and I should have a review written either tonight or tomorrow. I’m also planning a review for The Very Best of Fantasy & Science Fiction anthology coming up soon, and I just finished reading Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert’s magnificent 1602, so if I have enough sanity left, I’ll review that one, too.
And in a bit of old news, Tor has released the prologue to The Gathering Storm, in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, for purchase as an ebook. Check it out here!

Rarrgh. I am jealous. I got to look at an ARC of Soulless when I was at ALA this year and the publisher said they’d send me a copy but never did. It looked really interesting, and from the sounds of it, I would enjoy it as much as you did. I am sad they never got back to me. :(
I think you’d definitely enjoy it. It’s reminiscent of Elizabeth Peters’s Amelia Peabody books, if you’ve read those, only with supernatural creatures and a steampunk-ish setting.
