Here is the start of my Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles volumes 1-6 journey if you’re curious as to how this started. The manga is rated 13+ but when I let my seven year old start reading it I couldn’t think of anything that would be inappropriate. However, on this re-read I believe the rating is due to alcohol consumption. It doesn’t happen often but the characters do indulge from time to time. And as the ages of Syaoran and Sakura are not stated, and they seem […]

Why is Rhysand so sexy? Because it’s always Feyre’s choice.

A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas

I’ve now gotten to the third book in Sarah J. Maas’s ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ series, A Court of Wings and Ruin. Over the past three books I’ve mused about what makes Rhysand such a sexy character, beyond how devastatingly handsome he is, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it has to do with always allowing Feyre to make her own decisions. He’s charming, flirtatious, intelligent, caring, loyal to a fault, a touch wicked, with just the right amount of restrained violence that […]

Is this put in the YA category because publishers think sexy faeries aren’t serious enough to be in the ‘adult’ fantasy section?

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

November 13, 2019 by Dome'Loki 2 Comments

The most recent YA books I’ve read are Suzanne Collin’s ‘Hunger Games’ trilogy and Victoria Schwab’s ‘Monsters of Verity’ duology. Were there heated, passionate moments in those books, yes. Was there spine tingling sex scenes, nope. I had the assumption that full on sex was part of the dividing line separating YA from other categories. But if that is the case, then this series is in the wrong section. I can’t help but wonder if a decision was made that impossibly attractive faeries having sex […]

I began reading and collecting Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle when it was first released in 2004. It is written and drawn by my favorite manga collective, CLAMP, a four woman team of artists and writers. Over the years I slowed down my collecting but always intended to get the entire series. When Borders went out of business, I grabbed as many of my missing volumes as they had but was four short of all twenty-eight. Fast forward quite a few years later and my eight year old […]

Gentle, spooky fun for sensitive, younger readers

Ghoulia and the Mysterious Visitor: Book #2 by Barbara Cantini

October 31, 2019 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

While not technically about Halloween, this second Ghoulia book fits the bill for a slightly spooky story for younger readers. My second grader loved the first book, Ghoulia: Making New Friends Can be Scary, which is about an undead girl wanting to make friends with the town children. So when I learned that the sequel was out, it was an automatic choice for an ‘All Hallows Read’ gift. In the first book Ghoulia learned about Halloween and made friends. This time there is a mystery […]

I came into the Grishaverse backwards

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

October 29, 2019 by Dome'Loki 2 Comments

I came across the Grishaverse backwards. Last year I read a write up for Leigh Bardugo’s The Language of Thorns and was intrigued by the concept of a book of fairytales that characters in her Grishaverse would have read or been told, when they were children. The piece said knowledge of the other books was not necessary to enjoy Language of Thorns and I put it on my Cannonball gift exchange wish list. I was delighted to discover it in my gift box (Thank you, […]

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.

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.
