Four Words: Biker Mice From Mars

October 22, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Who remebers the cartoon, Biker Mice from Mars?  Funko also is putting the three main mice out in a toy.  I might have made a little geek-squeak…..   Biker Mice from Mars Vol. 1: Red Planet Panic by Melissa Flores, Daniel Gete

Dan might be a dolphin, but James the Stanton needs help!

I Think Our Friend Dan Might Be a Dolphin by James the Stanton

October 21, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I think that James the Stanton might be a little crazy. Okay, a lot crazy. Afterall, why would someone write a book (or more actually a zine) called I Think Our Friend Dan Might Be a Dolphin and proceed to make one of the more warped things I have ever read (and honestly I think I’ve read several warped things). I hated everything about this book. It was too small. It was too blue. It was really really NSFW or  anyplace else for that matter. […]

Imagine Douglas Adams on Cocaine

Space Oddity by Catherynne M. Valente

October 20, 2025 by RouletteGirl Leave a Comment

In Space Opera, we met Decibel Jones, former frontman for British glam band Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes, and followed him as he was conscripted into a mission to prove humanity’s sentience – and thus save them from extermination – by placing anything but last in the Metagalactic Grand Prix. Think Eurovision, but in space! Spoiler alert, Decibel Jones succeeded, with the help of a time-traveling red panda and the resulting appearance of a younger version of his long-dead drummer, Mira Wonderful Star. As […]

Trouble the Waters: Tales from the Deep Blue by Sheree Renée Thomas (Editor), Pan Morigan (Goodreads Author) (Editor), Troy L. Wiggins (Editor)

Trouble the Waters: Tales from the Deep Blue by Sheree Renée Thomas

October 20, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

Well that’s a wrap for me for Halloween Bingo 2025. Last book. I can also say I am a little horror’ed out right now so am switching to some lighter stuff. I thought Trouble the Waters was really good. Some stories hit home and others legit made my skin crawl (that crawdad story still is freaking me out). Water Dreaming by Pan Morigan was a nice set up to this anthology. We are Called to the Water by Troy L. Wiggins gives us a different perspective of how precious […]

Do you think the author was doomed to only binge works himself?

Dissolution by Nicholas Binge

October 18, 2025 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

hot take I don’t think I’m going to read any more of these standalone sci-fi twisters written by men (e.g., Recursion) bc they make no sense but clearly are vehicles to get to one cool mic drop scene or monologue. Is it that these books are sort of written with flashy set pieces that would make for an easy TV adaptation? Perhaps I should just realize that these books are not for me. But I keep getting pulled back into them because I like sci-fi, […]

Purple for the Spooky Science

The Glass Scientists vol. 1 by S. H. Cotucino

October 11, 2025 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 20: Purple When the public library has a summer reading program that adults can do, and also get prizes, it’s a good time. The past few years, the top reading level prize (defined by minutes read) is you get to take home a new book from a seemingly random selection the library ahs gotten. This year I went with The Glass Scientists volume 1. It was on the YA list, but I tend to keep an eye out for things I can use in […]
