Now with dinosaurs.

If you loved Lumberjanes, Vol. 1, you will also love Lumberjanes, Vol. 2: Friendship to the Max, because it’s the same thing, except MORE. More friendship, more monsters, more weird mysteries surrounding their camp, more little girls riding velociraptors. This volume centers around three main events: a friendship bracelet making session none of the campers are that interested in, but their beleaguered counselor Jen (who is so earnest it’s painful) wants them to learn instead of going to the Raccoon Rodeo (whatever that is), and […]

Friendship to the Max.

April 22, 2016 by narfna Leave a Comment

I read this yesterday when I was in a truly abysmal mood (all of my stress is currently camping out on my right shoulder, like, roasting marshmallows and felling trees and shit) and it made me laugh so hard. I was immediately charmed by the girls, the style of the art, and the can-do weirdness it has on display. With as much as I enjoyed it as an adult, I’m sure this thing will kill with its target audience. (I’m going to start saying “What […]

Cerebral palsy, the sexiest of the palsies.

April 21, 2016 by narfna 2 Comments

Firstly, whether or not you end up reading Zach Anner’s book, it’s definitely worth a trip over to YouTube to check out some of his videos. (Might I recommend this one, this one, and this one?) The guy is goofy and slyly funny. It’s always a happy day when one of his videos shows up in my inbox. He’s the kind of guy who decides to create a video series where all he does is give people virtual high-fives. Often he’ll make a joke that […]

I wish we still called them velocipedes.

I didn’t quite like this novella as much as everyone else seems to, but it definitely proves Courtney Milan hasn’t lost her touch with historical romance, after the disappointing first outing in this series. Her Every Wish is Daisy’s story. Daisy was Judith’s best friend from Once Upon a Marquess. She has dreams of opening her own business, and when the opportunity presents itself, she decides to enter into a contest to win money to open that dream business. The only problem is, she’s a […]

Hot hockey dudes and stuff.

April 21, 2016 by narfna 8 Comments

New adult is not my genre. I mostly prefer historicals when I read romance. But occasionally, a book catches my eye and gets such good reviews that the curiosity monster who lives in my head and makes all my decisions just can’t be denied. This was one of those books. I’ve also read m/m romances before, but they are by no means something I’ve read a lot of. This seems to be a very well done one. There’s no doubt it’s new adult, because holy […]

The End and The Beginning.

April 21, 2016 by narfna 2 Comments

What a great ending to this series. Endings are so tough. A bad ending can deflate the whole experience of a narrative. A good ending ties everything together, and nothing can beat that feeling of satisfaction you get as all the threads are tied up, secrets revealed, and connections made. Also, though, this was brutal. I’m not saying I haven’t read books that aren’t more of a bloodbath than this one is, because I have, but the body count is large, and people you love […]
