Nowhere Book Bingo: From a genre you’ve never read (true crime) CBR16 Bingo: Fiasco (Theranos was a massive fraud and a fiasco) I’ve owned this book since 2020 and am pretty sure I picked it up in an e-book sale because of the many Cannonball reviews I’ve read about it over the years. Not being particularly interested in the tech world or medical science, and certainly, not someone who reads a lot of business news, I didn’t really hear about this case as it was […]

This is a werewolf story. And like all werewolf stories, according to our narrator, it always means more than one thing. Mongrels follows a family of werewolves – aunt Libby, uncle Darren, and our unnamed narrator – as they migrate back and forth across the southern US, moving whenever towns become too hot to hold them. Mongrels is a coming-of-age story, following our narrator from late childhood into his teenage years, navigating familial bonds and first loves. Mongrels is a story of being poor in […]

Q: A Voyage Around the Queen by Craig Brown

October 1, 2024 by narfna 2 Comments

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. I’m so glad I took a chance on this one and requested the ARC. It was so much fun! It avoided literally everything that usually makes me avoid reading biographies: the tedious linear structure, the grandiloquence and navel-gazing that comes with writing about a much-lauded (or controversial) figure (and the author trying to “earn it”), and to be honest, the dull bits. Q: A Voyage Around the Queen is not […]

Moving Distractions. Or, When Ronnie got Salty

Fair Game: The Incredible Untold Story of Scientology in Australia by Steve Cannane

I’ve been moving around a lot in the last few years, and I’ve developed some little rituals over the process. My last move was only a month ago, and like so many of my moves, it involved extended amounts of time dicking around with Ikea furniture and getting rather frustrated. I have an audiobook especially for that task. It must have been eight or nine years ago now, but I had spend the best part of an afternoon trying to put a damned bed together […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
