I finished this audiobook over a month ago, and the review was sitting here mostly done, but I just never finished it. I didn’t care about this book enough to post the mostly shitty review. Meh. I think part of the reason I disliked this book was the reader. She irritated me to no end. The sections from Patience Madden’s point of view sounded like she was both terrified and on the brink of tears. You are led to believe that she has gained some […]
Free Thoughts on the Continental… oh, wait, on The Marriage Plot
As a disclaimer, this is a review for a DNF. I just can’t. It isn’t the light fluffy thing I was hoping for, and… I just… no. (And yes, baxlala, I was inspired by your review titles!) Our story revolves around Madeline Hanna. She is a senior English Major graduating from Brown. (Fancy!) We also have the rest of our love triangle, Leonard Bankhead (a Biology/Philosophy major) and Mitchell Grammaticus (a Religious Studies major), also at Brown. The boys are both a little strange, but Mitchell in […]
“Sometimes the right person tells the right story at the right moment.”
So. Hamilton. I’m sure most people who have experienced it in any of its forms – the show, the book, or even just the soundtrack, will agree that is is awesome and revolutionary and the best thing since sliced bread. (*cough* 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and 11 Tony Awards, including Best Musical) And here are my words to add to that chorus of praise! (Note: after reading Lin-Manuel Miranda’s words, I want to use the skills I know I have to be a better […]
Hitting my Cannonball goal before December 31st? Crazy!
With this review, I’ve hit my Quarter-Cannonball goal! And I did it before the end of December this time! Chapter 6: I notice something I’ve never noticed before. Oddly always wears a star on her shirt, as does her Auntie Oddly. The more “traditional” witches wear a crescent moon as their symbol. Auntie Oddly cements her awesomeness. She’s obviously very powerful, although she sometimes seems a little sad despite her effervescent personality. Chapter 7: We get to see something lovely. Auntie shows Oddly a memory […]
Oddly Normal is my gateway drug
I’m not much of a comic book reader, but I found the work of Otis Frampton at the New York Comic Con and fell in love with it. I searched out Mr. Frampton because of the preview of Oddly Normal I had found before attending my first Comic Con. I had spent the entire time I was there looking for an issue of Oddly Normal, and was delighted to find one (at the last minute!) at the table Mr. Frampton was manning in Artist Alley. […]
In which I refer to multiple characters as dumb, ass, or dumbass
Like everyone else, I’m putting up my review to Doomsday Book. This also makes me the fifth person to post it the day before our book club discussion! Procrastinators unite! Anyway, I started writing my review as I was reading, so this is more a reaction than a review, I suppose. And we all know the plot by now. Ahem… 50 pages in – Nothing too bad has happened yet. I’m concerned for the tech who collapsed. I think our heroine is a kind of […]
