Not a hinge in sight

All Superheroes Need Photo Ops by Elizabeth Stephens

by Leave a Comment

When I reviewed Elizabeth Stephens’s first book in the Supers in the City series, All Superheroes Need PR, I started off “Hinges? I don’t know her” – Elizabeth Stephens, probably. Well, in All Superheroes Need Photo Ops, Stephens proves that she knows exactly what a hinge is and she enjoys listening to them swing wildly in the wind. Stephens obviously knows how hinges work, because she knows exactly how and when to take them off and throw them away. Before Roland reverted to his alien form […]

Now is a good time to become familiar with social determinants of health

Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green

by 4 Comments

What a time to be alive and listening to John Green narrate his book, Everything is Tuberculosis. I’ve been listening to it slowly because I am always on the verge of a rage stroke and I want to outlive the current administration.

Initially, I wanted to make this year’s bingo categories easy, because I knew this would be a hard year for a lot of us. But then […]

I’m disappointed

Dom-Com by Adriana Anders

by Leave a Comment

So…I’ve enjoyed Adriana Anders’ books in the past. There’s a character inconsistency that I just couldn’t let go of. Very early in the book, Grant and Rae meet when she goes to the BDSM club in which he’s a silent partner. She’s a newbie and he ejects a pushy dominant, tells her what to expect from a good dominant, and then they engage in a short power exchange before she flees into the night. On Monday they discover that they work together – she’s the […]
