Scooting on My Arse, Flying Between Fight Scenes. And I’m Failing to Articulate

Battle Ground by Jim Butcher

by 2 Comments

  So, I have to admit, it has taken me a good long while to gather my thoughts on this one. So sorry if it comes across as a bit disorganised. What I am confident in through is my assertion when reviewing Peace Talks that we were only getting only the one story across two books. And after reading both, I’m still not sure that this was the best idea. The two books cannot be read as stand-alone. At all. The books share the structure […]

‘Because nobody should have to feel like a pointless little weirdo alone’

Solutions and Other Problems by Allie Brosh

by Leave a Comment

The long-awaited follow-up to Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half dropped last month, and I think everyone’s first reaction was not so much ‘Oh, new book!’ but a mixture of deep concern and relief. Solutions and Other Problems had been originally slated for what I believe was a 2016 release, but there was nothing but radio silence as the year came and went. And the next few years as well. Allie’s blog hadn’t had a new entry since 2013 or so, and posting had been […]

This American Platypus.

Educating the Platypus by Charlie Richards

by 2 Comments

Look, I’m going to admit right off that bat the whole genre of shape-shifter romance is completely alien to me. I’m not the broadest reader of romance in the first place and this is a niche that I have not really turned my eyes towards. But then a certain other Cannonballer—who knows who they are and can identify themselves if they want—sent me a picture of this book’s cover, and I’ll be damned if I wasn’t at least going to have a peek to see […]

So This Is Why Geralt Is So Reticent

The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski

by Leave a Comment

Confession: My Witcher experience to date has been a bit arse over tit. I appear that have done everything completely backwards. My first introduction to the series was the TV show earlier this year, which then prompted me to purchase The Witcher 3 (Which I’m not very good at—I’m going to blame the Joy-Con drift). So after all that, I thought I should start with one of the books. The Last Wish is made up of a series of short stories and is the rough […]

Could I Offer You a Little Brian Blessed in These Trying Times?

The Panther In My Kitchen: My Wild Life With Animals by Brian Blessed

by 3 Comments

  Like everyone else right now, I have been under a good deal of stress in the last few months, so I have been trying to take advantage of life’s small pleasures wherever I can. One of these has been trying to find the least stressful audiobooks to listen to. And for that, I really couldn’t go past The Panther In My Kitchen, due to it being written and narrated by Brian Blessed Sorry, that should read BRIAN BLESSED! As I noted in my review […]

Everyone is Doing Their Bit in Their Own Way

Bisexual Unicorn Vampires Teach Me the Importance of the Vampire Cough by Chuck Tingle

by 3 Comments

Well, I don’t think I could have picked a more tonally different read for my No Money review than my Money one. Chuck Tingle is famous for his eclectic romance shorts between people and exotic cryptic species, people and inanimate objects, and even people and abstract concepts. Recently, he has been inundated with requests for Coronavirus related erotica — which he has refused to do, on the grounds that he doesn’t want to write about things or events that are harming people. So instead, Chuck […]
