Practical Demonkeeping: Pine Cove Series, 1 by Christopher Moore

September 6, 2021 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

CBR 13 Bingo: Self Care and Bingo #3!- I listened to this book while taking my daily health stomps to take care of myself. Rarely do my book reviews elicit any reactions or comments on my Facebook page but my review of Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal had multiple friends commenting how much they love Christopher Moore and the next book I need to read is Practical Demonkeeping. So once I completed listening to the Dresden Files short stories, I used the […]

The Everlasting Rose by Dhonielle Clayton

September 6, 2021 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

CBR 13 Bingo: Flora The Everlasting Rose is the sequel to Dhonielle Clayton’s The Belles. To quote myself regarding The Belles, “This was fantasy the likes of which I haven’t read before, full of decadence and frippery, a magic system based on beauty, and I was entranced.” The Everlasting Rose is a different beast of a book compared to its predecessor as it is a fugitive and resistance story. The soon to be new Queen of Orleans, Sophia, is setting the pieces in place for a […]

‘The spook and her pet’ take on an alien empire in this amazing sequel – and Bingo #2!

A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine

CBR 13 Bingo: New Series – This is the sequel to A Memory Called Empire which was published in 2019 and completes my second bingo. I loved A Memory Called Empire , in my review said it was deserving its spot on the Hugo nominee list and I was delighted when it won! The follow up, A Desolation Called Peace, is similarly incredible. In preparation for reading this, I found an excellent recap that goes over individuals and factions, and their motivations. I highly recommend it. The […]

Thank you, Bothari43, for helping me complete my first bingo of 2021!

Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews

CBR 13 Bingo Square: FREE – It’s taken a while for me to get around to it but I have finally read Magic Bites, a Cannonball Book Exchange from Bothari43! Visit link for bonus Wall-E content. When I posted my thank you, Emmalita and Malin were quick to jump in and warn me that this is not Ilona Andrews best book but if I could stick around, book three is excellent. This was reinforced by other Cannonballers during one of the zoom chats earlier this year. I […]

More superheroine action and romance!

Heroine Worship by Sarah Kuhn

August 15, 2021 by Dome'Loki 2 Comments

CBR 13 Bingo: Rec’d – I’m reading this series because of teresaelectro’s recommendation! Heroine Worship is the second book in Sarah Kuhn’s “Heroine Complex” series. In the first volume, Heroine Complex Evie Tanaka is a restrained, quiet assistant and best friend of super heroine, Aveda Jupiter, with a secret, she’s been hiding her own fire superpower. This time around, Aveda is the narrator and the story picks up about three months after the events in the first novel. It is discovered that a minor demon is […]

“All any of us can do – is work to be something positive instead. That is a choice that every sapient must make every day of their life. The universe is what we make of it. It’s up to you what part you will play.”

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

August 11, 2021 by Dome'Loki 8 Comments

CBR 13 Bingo: Book Club – Cannonball Book Club, I wish I had read this last year instead of An Unkindness of Ghosts Last year many of y’all raved about The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, I seem to recall comparisons to “Firefly”, and I agree! I also saw similarities with “Farscape”, a fish out of water story with a planet bound human now exploring space aboard a ship with aliens. If neither of those TV shows are a frame of reference for you, this […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
