Book Exchange Loot!!

December 20, 2018 by FyreHaar 4 Comments

  Y’all I got some booooooooks!!! I got a sweet little button and a sticker but I got some books and let me tell you about that sweet little number on the bottom right. I’ve already read it. Hella times, in fact. I fucking love that book. It was my introduction to Lois McMaster Bujold and everyone should read her because she is the literal best. And this book I’ve already read? I love it the best of these. Because I gave up a lot […]

Just what I needed

November 14, 2018 by FyreHaar 2 Comments

Y’all, it’s been a motherfucker of a year. I need comfort and this book is it. Rebekah Weatherspoon is at the top of my must-buy list. She writes fun, satisfying romance with diversity of race, body type, sexuality, gender, it’s an intersectional love fest with her and I am here for it. In Rafe we have, well, Rafe! The Buff Male Nanny. He’s red headed, bearded, tattooed, and his masculinity is non-toxic. He’s just left his latest nanny gig when then family he works for […]

Continuing on past the end of the world, after the end of the world

January 28, 2018 by FyreHaar Leave a Comment

Kit Rocha’s Beyond series deals in the lives and loves of a bisexual love army fighting back against capitalist oppressors after the fall of our current civilization. The Gideon’s Riders series is a successor series to the Beyond Series. They are fun, quick reads and they are reliable (Which is actually really important in romance readership.) I enjoyed the Beyond books, so I started in on Gideon’s. This is the second book about Gideon’s Riders, a fighting force of people who have committed to give […]

Good in little bites

January 8, 2018 by FyreHaar 2 Comments

Charlotte Stein is a must read for me. So I grabbed this when Kindle told me it was available (all hail my amazonian overlords). Stein’s books are not kissing books, they are fucking books. So there is the usual dance of making sure no one is likely to be reading over my shoulder on my commute train because I like to think my porn is at least mostly private. Her short story collections, of which this is one, are really short tone poems. Like kink […]

Starting off with a …meh…

January 5, 2018 by FyreHaar Leave a Comment

My earliest review, evar!!  I usually only review things that evoke a strong response and I’ve never even made a quarter Cannonball. This year I’m going to try to write about every book I finish. This book was basic. It was free on Kindle (still is as of this writing, if you just haaaave to read a romance set on Coronado) (N.B. how the fuck y’all gonna afford any real estate out there?) Hannah Davis was jilted and wants to find out what tore her […]

The Original and Still Worst!!

October 20, 2017 by FyreHaar Leave a Comment

This is a bad book. It’s got high adventure! It’s got a sci fi premise that holds up 105 years after it’s first publication! The first person narration is a bit old fashioned but it works! It’s also one of the most racist things I’ve ever read. One could try the old “It’s a product of its time!” Well, it’s time was hella racist too, so that’s not wrong. John Carter, a white, Virginian, Confederate, Civil War veteran, is unexplainedly transported to Mars while running […]
