Recent Sci-Fi Reads: The Diabolic and The Handmaid’s Tale | Book Reviews

The Galactic Empire decides to force Sidonia to come to their planet instead as a punishment.

What it really is is a blog feature.  I hate it when my blog has gone too long without any sort of reviews, but I’m really busy at work and with wedding planning (five months left, eek!) and my band (if you’re in Toronto, stop by The Velvet Underground at 10 on Friday and see us!) right now, so this is what you’re getting: Code Name Verity by […]
