I will be honest with you. I would probably quit this series if it just focused on Lois. I know that sounds terrible, but hear me out. The two things I like most about this series are Lois herself (great in any incarnation, that character is), and the burgeoning relationship between Lois and her internet friend slash boyfriend (?)”SmallvilleGuy”, who yes, is Clark Kent aka the future Superman. Everything else surrounding it? I do not care about. Really, at all. I do not care about any of […]
Terrible half-baked review of a really good book.
I think I’ve really done this book an injustice by waiting so long to review it. (Thanks a lot, Mansfield Park!) I remember being ridiculously entertained by it, and reading it at a pretty fast pace, even for me. But I’ve forgotten most of why I found it so entertaining in the two and a half months since finishing it. This is one of those sci-fi books just waiting to break into the mainstream, because it’s written in a way that will appeal to people who […]
Dear Fake Character People: An Open Letter to (most of) the Characters in Mansfield Park
This is the fourth in my series of posts wherein I get weird and write reviews for classic books in the form of letters to the characters. I’m re-reading all of Jane Austen’s books in 2016, and it has so far been lovely, even with this one. May was Mansfield Park month, and I was looking forward to it, as it has been my least favorite Austen since I first read it, and thought that might make for an interesting reading experience. In fact, until now, it’s the only one of her books I […]
Starbucks is a coffee shop.
The Predator is strangely named. I’ve been sitting here for twenty minutes trying to figure out who exactly the predator is in this book, and I still don’t have a definite answer. This book is nominally about the Animorphs trying to carry out Ax’s plan of luring a Yeerk ship to the ground, stealing it, and then hightailing it back to Andalite space (where, theoretically, he can send reinforcements back to the Animorphs), but really, it’s about Marco finally committing to the mission. Until now, […]
Cinderella with naughty bits!
It’s becoming quite the habit that I start one of these books before bed and then stay up to ungodly hours finishing it, because I have no self control. But I just wasn’t tired! And I wanted to see what happened! (Okay, so I knew what was going to happen, that’s the whole point of reading romance novels, but you know what I mean.) An Offer From a Gentleman is the third of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton books, and it’s basically a re-telling of Cinderella* (with […]
Not what I was expecting.
Okay, help, you guys. This hasn’t been reviewed for CBR yet, and I need someone to explain it to me. I literally do not understand what is happening with this comic. I WANT to like it, and parts of it are downright amazing (the art, in particular, has this great retro 80s vibe, and the characters are typical BKV amazingness) but THE PLOT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. People were losing their minds over this, so I couldn’t believe when it I closed the first […]
