Gay romance, burnt food, and examinations of masculinity

March 4, 2017 by yesknopemaybe Leave a Comment

3.5 stars. I love a good M/M romance and have been trying to seek out more queer romances. This one looked delightful and it did not disappoint. What I didn’t know going into this book was that one of the characters is trans which means that this is officially my first trans romance! I really liked that Ginsberg being trans wasn’t the story, it was just one small part of the story. Former logger and all-around manly man Derrick inherited his parent’s B&B after they […]

Who tells your story?

March 4, 2017 by yesknopemaybe 3 Comments

When I bought tickets to Hamilton last October, I immediately put myself on Hamilton hiatus. I wanted to go into the musical fresh and be able to experience it without the official recording going through my head or being distracted by things I’d read or watched. Now that I’ve seen the musical, it’s time to gobble up all the Hamilton things. First on my list was Hamilton: The Revolution. Hamilton: The Revolution is basically the history of the musical from the very beginning to opening […]

The history of American spooks

March 4, 2017 by yesknopemaybe Leave a Comment

3.5 stars. Learning about history via a tour of the most haunted places in America is not something I knew I wanted until I heard Liberty Hardy talking up Ghostland on a Book Riot podcast. Once I knew it existed, I had to get my hands on it. Colin Dickey travels the country learning more about the ghosts of America’s history. The ghosts take both him and the reader to some very random places and histories. From a house hunt in Los Angeles to “the […]

Apparently there are boring sociopaths

March 4, 2017 by yesknopemaybe 2 Comments

A book told about sociopaths from the perspective of a sociopath? Sounds fascinating. Also the creepy cover pulled me in. Unfortunately I ended up quitting this one halfway through because I was so. freaking. bored. How is it even possible to make a book about sociopaths boring?! The author writes anonymously, but is a self-professed and professionally diagnosed sociopath. She asserts that 1 in 25 people is a sociopath (I am not sure where this statistic comes from and would like to see the study […]

“Every time we get a chance to get ahead, they move the finish line.”

February 5, 2017 by yesknopemaybe 2 Comments

I’m not a huge movie person honestly, but I am a huge Taraji P. Henson person so of course I went and saw Hidden Figures in theatres and freaking loved it. This is not a movie review site, so I won’t go into too much detail except to say that it was magical finding out about the histories of these smart-as-fuck women and it was a very entertaining way to spend a couple of hours. I really recommend seeing the movie and then reading the […]

Just who is running this show?

January 30, 2017 by yesknopemaybe 1 Comment

3.5 stars. To be completely honest, I’m not sure I would have kept reading this if I wasn’t listening to it on audiobook on loan from my library. It didn’t suit my mood, which like many Americans (and let’s be real, world citizens) at the moment, is dark, dark depression. I powered through Sleeping Giants at 1.6x speed and unlike most times I think of giving up on a book and then don’t, I didn’t regret it. Sleeping Giants begins with a flashback as a […]
