Thank you, Mobius_Walker! Cannonballers are fans of Cat Sebastian and I’m excited to read my first by her. The tote bag is gorgeous and I look forward to showing off my Mysterious Galaxy pride. Thank you for supporting my favorite independent bookstore!
If you like Outlander but prefer no rape and more fantasy magic, this is for you!
Wyldwood: The Spiral Pathways series by Tava Baird
This completes my first full cannonball since 2019! A little while back Cannonballer Tava offered up a few free copies of her book Wyldwood. The description caught my interest and I threw my hat into the ring to get one and I’m glad I did! Part historical fiction, fantasy, and romance Wyldwood is set in Scotland of 1746, several months after the disaster that was Culloden. Saorsa Macdonald Stuart is the fictional niece of Bonnie Prince Charlie and is on her way to be married against […]
This Discworld book has been recommended for D&D players so I finally checked it out.
Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett
Nearly twenty years ago I gave Pratchett’s Discworld books a chance. I had a long commute and been gifted audiobooks of the first few books in the series. I listened to about the first three books and then decided they weren’t for me. They felt gimmicky with a focus on clever ways of saying modern things without using current words. For some reason, calling popcorn ‘banged grains’ sticks out in my memory as an example. But over the years I kept seeing the devotion readers […]
Can’t think of a title, too excited to announce Bingo #10,11, & 12 – Black Out!
Transmetropolitan volume 2: Lust for Life by Warren Ellis (author), Darick Robertson (penciller), Kim Demulder (inker), Rodney Ramos (inker), Nathan Eyring (colorist), Clem Robbins (letterer)
CBR14 Bingo: “Bird” – Because there are birds on the cover and Spider Jerusalem figuratively flips the bird to the world on the regular. Warren Ellis’ “Transmetropolitan” comic series is set in a not terribly distant, messy, chaotic future (far from any idea of a future utopia) with one lone journalist intent on telling the truth, Spider Jerusalem. As described by a friend, he is “a dirty bastard and a moral vacuum, but you couldn’t have a better friend.” Through Spider, Ellis gives a blistering […]
A spy, an assassin, and a telepath; meet the Forgers! Bingos #8 & 9!
Spy x Family: volume 1 by Tatsuya Endo
CBR14 Bingo: “Font” – I love all the different fonts used for sound effects in comics. Spy x Family is written and drawn by Tatsuya Endo. It’s the story of an elite spy, known only by his handle, Twilight. He is an agent for an organization in Westalis and master of disguise. The agency has learned that a far-right group in the country on their Eastern border, Ostania, is wanting to start a war with Westalis. Twilight is dispatched to discover what the East is […]
Tasty bite of fantasy with fallen angels and shifters with a setting drawing from Vietnamese culture. Bingo #7!
Of Dragons, Feasts, and Murder by Aliette de Bodard
CBR14 Bingo: “Elephant” – There’s a metaphorical elephant in the room, no one seems willing to discuss how the system of repressing people’s freedoms is causing the rot at the heart of the dragon empire. First of all, thank you, Emmalita, for bringing this to my attention. You were right, I did enjoy it and it’s the perfect length for this stage of the bingo game! Of Dragons, Feasts, and Murder is a novella set after the events of de Bodard’s “Dominion of the Fallen” […]
