    What I’m Reading Wednesday, Redux

    I’ve been doing so much reading and not enough reviewing – at least, not here on the blog.

Each time my work has gone into the ether, and then I forget that I have to rewrite it – again – so I hope that I can capture all the magic that was Prelude for Lost Souls without needing to read it again. I received an advanced digital copy of this book from Sourcebooks Fire via NetGalley;…
