Awesome book – totally. First saw this at “Zombie Runner” coffee shop in Palo Alto on California Avenue….started to read it and had to have it. Our WTZ is Angel Crawford – pill popping, high school drop out with a record. Lives in Louisiana with her drunk ass dad in a house with a driveway made of crushed beer cans. Hangs out with her stoner, trailer dwelling boyfriend Randy and works a McJob a the gas and grab. Until one night, she […]
I am nervous about this movie. Aren’t you?
The Chancellor has, of course, read The Giver, and apparently so has everyone else but me. I don’t know why I didn’t read it, but somehow it slipped away. And then, of course, the movie is out, so there’s new buzz. We’re going to see it this weekend, so I decided to read it and get my view of the book first. So glad I did. What a beautiful and amazing and heartbreaking book. How are they ever going to do it justice in the […]
Ugh (a review in Drag Race gifs)
No Rest for the Wicked was almost offensively boring, and when it wasn’t boring, it was offensive. It also has 4.3 stars on Goodreads. I don’t think this book bothers to take itself seriously, so I won’t give it a serious review. Kresley Cole essentially plagiarizes herself with every novel, so I see no problem with taking plagiarism to its logical end and relying mostly on the work of others to get my point across here. I’m going with RuPaul and her girls as my muses […]
White Trash Zombies Rule
Fourth in the series of the White Trash Zombie books. These are hilarious. I listened to this one on Audible. Our heroine – Angel Crawford – is indeed a white trash zombie. Backstory – 3 books back, she was a loser white trash drug addict, got picked up by the wrong guy in a bar, ended up in a (what should have been fatal) car crash and somehow survived with no injuries whatsoever. Took her a while to figure out that someone […]
“If your family had a quilt, it would be made out of chimera skin and stuffed with feathers from dead angels.”
WARNING! This review will contain spoilers for some stuff in the earlier Kate Daniels books because it’s pretty much impossible to write a review for the SEVENTH book in a series without revealing any of what’s gone before. If you’ve not read this series before, this book is not where you want to start (even though the authors kindly included a handy guide to all the major players in the book and a very concise and informative guide to the fictional universe this series is set in). The […]
Wizard Harry Dresden in fine form in Death Masks
Harry Dresden is a highly respected (if impoverished) wizard among the supernatural scene, and when a Vatican priest calls on him to help find the stolen Shroud of Turin, he is thrilled to take the job and the fee that goes with it. He is less thrilled to learn that horribly mutilated bodies and hit men are turning up in the investigation, and that Chicago crime-boss Marcone seems to be in the thick of it. At the same time, a top noble of the Red […]
