I wish I had this book 8 years ago and glad it exists now.

How to Keep House While Drowning: A gentle approach to cleaning and organizing. by KC Davis, lpc

November 3, 2023 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

This past July, I read KatSings review of How to Keep House While Drowning and immediately put it on hold at my library. Eight years ago I was drowning. I was a SAHM who was deeply depressed and feeling very worn down with a sickly four year old and a neurodivergent eight year old. When every day is physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting it’s hard to keep house to the level of “clean” that we often feel morally compelled to do. And because we can’t […]

Of course cats are sentient and working with villains

Starter Villain by John Scalzi

CBR15 Bingo: Adulthood – Charlie struggles with many of the downsides to adulthood, loans, parental loss, divorce, and barely scrapping by. Bingo #3! History (replaced with Nostalgia) to Europe. John Scalzi is almost an auto buy for our household. However, the most recently trilogy had us feeling a little cold. Then last year’s The Kaiju Preservation Society was a spectacular showcase of what makes Scalzi such a fun writer. Based on The Kaiju Preservation Society I was already looking forward to my preorder of Scalzi’s newest […]

A fairytale in all but name

Nettle and Bone by T. Kingfisher

CBR15 Bingo: Using my Getaway key to replace History with Nostalgia and make bingo #2! Diagonal, History to Sex. I used Nettle and Bone for nostalgia because fairytales always make me feel nostalgic for my childhood reading. Note: It has been awhile since I listened to this book and I have forgotten names. Also, I don’t know how names are spelled so please forgive any transgressions. It feels like a few weeks ago (but the reality is it was probably several months ago because time is […]

A truly international and diverse magical school

The Marvellers by Dhonielle Clayton

October 13, 2023 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

CBR15 Bingo: Edibles – Dhonielle Clayton ramped up the concept of magical food to an almost absurd level, many sound down right hard to eat. Things like Jamaican patties that sing reggae when you cut them open and hummingbird cakes that fly around are two that stick out in my memory. A few years ago I discovered Clayton through her YA Belles duology, The Belles and The Everlasting Rose, which I thought were both 4 star reads. The Marvellers came to my attention due to the […]

Revisiting the Shades of Magic world with a captivating new story that also brought back fan favorites

The Fragile Threads of Power by V.E. Schwab

October 8, 2023 by Dome'Loki 2 Comments

CBR15 Bingo: Sex – V.E. Schwab does not include sex scenes in any of her books. They tend to be more ‘fade to black’ moments. However, I wish this book had more than just suggested sexy times! Several years ago when Schwab finished the original “Shades of Magic” trilogy, she left a door open to potentially revisit the series in the future. Apparently inspiration struck and we now have The Fragile Threads of Power to build upon the first trilogy. First off let me say that […]

I suspect a complete lack of physical affection has led the British monarchy to where it is today.

Spare by Prince Harry

September 22, 2023 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

CBR15 Bingo: Politics – The internal politicking of the British royal family is intriguing and horrifying. While not a British royal super fan, I’ve always been interested in them. Queen Elizabeth’s corgis were part of the reason I got a corgi of my own. I thought I knew the broad strokes of Harry’s early life; trouble in schools, some drugs, partying, two stints in the military, and then he seemed to come into his own as an adult. In recent years, I’ve followed the royals […]

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.
