I’ve had my eye on this book for a while. A YA story with a school of magic, magicians, and vampires? I’m in. I had heard that the idea for the book started as Harry Potter fanfiction so I was curious to see how that turned out. Simon is the Chosen One who is being tutored by The Mage in order to be the best wizard the world of mages has ever seen (sound familiar?). His nemesis and roommate, Basilton “Baz” Grimm-Pitch is an undercover […]

CBR 16 Bingo – Fanfic: I really struggled to find something I actually wanted to read for this category, but I finally found it. You might argue that this isn’t fanfiction, but it meets the definition so what can you do. It’s an adaptation of the original story written by an appreciator of the works. I don’t see the problem. You know a book is going to be good when it has a quote this spectacular. “The wolf said, ‘You know, my dear, it isn’t […]

Tenebroso by thesehands Ronan was a portent, an omen, a sign that Adam might be in real danger; Declan had sent the most dangerous person he knew to protect him. ― thesehands, Tenebroso As he lay in Adam’s arms, Ronan noted the differences between what he remembered and what he currently felt. Adam was not as bony as he used to be, no longer elongated with the awkward stretch of adolescence. He was warmer than Ronan’s memories, perhaps only because he was real and tangible […]

I’m pretty sure Jane Austen would’ve mocked this book relentlessly.

The Ministry of Time by Kaliene Bradley

mood music: running up that hill – kate bush This was the strangest little novel I have read this year. But, it was one of the most original plotlines I have read in a long time. I had to do real googling to understand the background details that inspired this story because one of the characters is based on a real historical figure. Our unnamed protagonist, a British-Cambodian civil servant in London, is recently promoted to Bridge for a new pilot program in a new […]

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.
