It’s hard to believe it, but our 100th book review is coming up fast. Last week, we published a book review for our 90th book, The Last Policeman, a pre-apocalyptic murder mystery by Ben H. Winters.

It’s that time of year again! The nominees for the 2013 Philip K. Dick Award were announced on January 10th, and once again, the GeekyLibrary crew plans to read all seven of the nominees and discuss them. There are plenty of good books published in 2013 that were eligible for this award. Since 1984, Norwescon […]
