Chinese Menu: The History, Myths, and Legends Behind Your Favorite Foods by Grace Lin

November 22, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Officially I have not finished Chinese Menu: The History, Myths, and Legends Behind Your Favorite Foods by Grace Lin. Not because it is a bad book, or because it is a hard read, but because it is actually a good collection of stories that you need to take your time with. Lin takes myths, legends, some truths, historical facts and creative license and tells us the story of the menu of Chinese culture. I have only gotten little over half way through, but want to […]

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

November 22, 2024 by cheerbrarian Leave a Comment

I have been in a bit of a slump lately..my life has felt heavy, and so did my books. Not physically, but both my monthly book club selection (Heaven and Earth Grocery) and a read along with a friend (Beartown) cover darker topics and I needed a break! I was craving some whimsy and lightness and this book was just what I needed. It’s a cozy, warm, found family fantasy (alliteration) that will bring a smile to your face. Mika Moon is a witch in Britain, […]

A very cozy book

The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown

November 20, 2024 by Marcella Leave a Comment

I got this book for my birthday purely because I do, often, judge books by their covers. The cover on this book was absolutely gorgeous. All of us have fallen victim to judging a book by its cover, I just didn’t expect it to work out so well in my favor this time. This book is about a young woman who works in a bookstore. She has befriended one of the regulars, who she talks to quite a bit. Until he dies in the bookstore, […]

The Red Woman returns, you insect-humping wretches!

Red Sonja: Consumed by Gail Simone

November 20, 2024 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I really like Gail Simone’s run of Red Sonja comics. I was very intrigued to see what she would do in a longer format without pictures. Red Sonja:Consumed is very good. It takes a little time to bring the pieces together, but once it does, it flies. I definitely recommend it for appreciators of a barbarian adventure, women who take charge of their own destinies, and cranky horses. It starts with a queen and a jeweled asp. Sonja has stolen a prized piece of jewelry from […]

A complex fantasy with many stories woven together

Aunt Tigress by Emily Yu-Xuan Qin

November 17, 2024 by LB Leave a Comment

I was immediately drawn to Aunt Tigress by the cover, and the synopsis had me intrigued. Tam is a young woman living in Calgary where the magic from her tiger father is weak because it’s far from the forces she calls on for exorcisms and other magics, but she also knows to respect the magic of First Nations without trying to steal it. Or at least, that’s what her father tried to teach her before he died when she was 12, and her Aunt Tigress […]

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.
