“Bad Llama. Level 3. It’s a llama, but it’s bad. If he were human, he’d be covered in prison tattoos and would be hanging out in front of the Circle K hitting on 14-year-old girls.”

Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman

August 3, 2025 by Malin 1 Comment

CBR17 Bingo: Rec’d (I honestly don’t know how many people have raved about this book, on CBR, other review sites on the internet, as well as in my IRL book club) By now, most people who are even vaguely interested in this series probably know what it’s about, but I’ll try to give a brief summary. Carl is wandering around, half-dressed in the snow, looking for his ex-girlfriend’s prize-winning Persian cat, when Earth is suddenly attacked by aliens. All the buildings collapse in an instant […]

Enter the Multiverse but Staying Cozy, at least for now

Chilling Reflections by Drew Hayes

August 3, 2025 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 4: Favorite Drew Hayes in one of my favorite contemporary authors. He’s got the right level of geek, trope, and fun, while still managing to stay interesting. Chilling Reflections is book 3 in the Villain’s Code series, and while there have been signs in previous volumes, this one makes it pretty clear that this series is tilting into a Marvel-style multi-verse area. One thing that definitely surprised me is how directly the side story series (Villains Vignettes 1) is involved. I’ve read that, and […]

Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove

July 31, 2025 by narfna 1 Comment

Thanks to NetGalley, Dreamscape Media & Dreamscape Lore, Bindery Books, and Ezeekat Press for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. I had a great time with this weird little genre-bender. I love books where the author was like, should I do mystery? Romance? Paranormal? Horror? Sci-fi? Why not all?? Indeed. Why not all. Our two main characters are ship’s AI’s, the navigator, and the ship’s doctor. Demeter is the ship’s name, and when the book starts she’s just a normal ship, […]

Book two times three

Rema Chronicles V02 Kingdom of Water: A Graphic Novel by Amy Kim

Grand Slam Romance V02: Major League Hotties by Ollie Hicks and Emma Oosterhous

Double Booking V02 When and Where Wolf by Pangburn,, Kim Shearer and Nic Touris

July 30, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Sequels are always an interesting read. They can  be the best book in the group or the worst. They can also be so much later than book one that you forget everything about what happened before.  And that last one is what happened to Kingdom of Water: A Graphic Novel (the Rema Chronicles #2) by Amy Kim. I started reading (via an online reader, due August 2025) and said, “Who are these people again?” Therefore, read volumes one and two close together. Spoiler: There will […]

This cabinet is more than a family antique heirloom

The Cabinet by Jordan Hart, David Ebeltof, and Chiara Raimondi

July 29, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Cbr17bingo FAMILY The Cabinet is one of those graphic novels/books where you will love it or hate it. The humor is offbeat, the characters are not always likable, but the adventures are strong. If Dr. Who meets Voyagers, with a hint of Stranger Things (or so I assume as I have not watched it), a little Buffy the Vampire Slayer, meets the wackiest D&D game (or Vox Machina) you have read that is set in the 1990s diverse cast series. Creators, Jordan Hart, David Ebeltof, […]

It was easier to read once I had the mental image of Robert Pattinson as Mickey in my head

Mickey7 by Edward Ashton

July 27, 2025 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars Nowhere Books Bingo 25: Book adapted into a movie or TV show CBR17 Bingo: Diaspora (Mickey7 and the others on his crew are colonists on a hostile planet far from their original home) Mickey Barnes has, through some truly idiotic decisions, ended up acquiring so much gambling debt that he now has to leave the planet. Literally the only way he can do that is to go with the space expedition, which is setting off to colonise the far-off planet of Niflheim. Unfortunately, […]
