(Bingo: Pajiba) All shall fade into the whiteness of death

Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James

August 19, 2019 by sistercoyote 8 Comments

I was keenly intrigued upon reading both the Pajiba post about this one and I think also possibly Big Idea on Scalzi’s website but I’m not certain about that. I just know I saw a fair amount of press and was very interested in reading James’ take on an epic fantasy world beginning from an African perspective. “Children cannot help how they are born, they had no choice in it. Choosing to be a fool, though . . .” (Kindle loc 1020) Unfortunately, I am […]

Bingo: Classics Whiplash, My Dear Watson

A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

August 5, 2019 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

I read this for the first time a few years back*, in between books of “The Men who Hate Women”. Also, oddly enough, I finished it while we were on our way to This is the Place. (Please don’t ask me to explain This is the Place. You either know or you don’t: suffice to say that there is a tie-in to A Study in Scarlet, however loose).

Bingo: And So It Begins, with free running off the rooftops of New York

Discount Armageddon (Incryptid Series Book 1) by Seanan Maguire

August 5, 2019 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

Verity (“Very”) Price has more going on than you’d think. In addition to working as a waitress at a strip club, subletting semi-legally, preparing for a dance competition, and generally trying to keep a roof over her head (and those of her colony of Aeslin Mice), she’s also responsible for keeping tabs on New York’s cryptid population. Which doesn’t leave her much, if any, time for dating.

Yarr, Change be Harrrd (Cannonball Bingo Illustrated square)

Pirates Don't Go to Kindergarten by Lisa Robinson

July 1, 2019 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

I have no idea how to write a review of a book when the number of words required in the review are longer than the number of words in the book itself…

The Title is (kind of) a Lie

The F*ck It Diet: Eating Should be Easy by Caroline Dooner

June 4, 2019 by sistercoyote 3 Comments

  Two notes: First, I’m not interested in having the “fat = unhealthy” argument in the comments. BTDT. If you’re the type of person “worried” about fat people’s health, I know. Keep it to yourself, kthx. Second, this is apparently the year of reading books that heavily feature “the F-word” and I swear there was a book out there somewhere about that word in particular that I should probably find, buy, and close the year out by reviewing.   (And now, some filler to keep […]
