Thank you! I’m so excited to add to my Murderbot Diaries collection and I get a new book to discover. Sure, I already have Artificial Condition as an ebook and an audiobook, but what if the internet disappears, or, more likely, I don’t have access to wifi and I need the wit and wisdom of SecUnit? I’ve heard of Ross McDonald, but haven’t read any of the classic mystery writer’s work. I’m looking forward to finding out more about “one of the most intricate plots […]
The witch and werewolf go to school and some other things…but it’s not a romance
The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods by Svetlana Chmakova
Where do witches go to school? Well if you are the kids in this book, and are a special kind of witch called a Weirn, you go to the school the humans do. Only at night, after everyone has left and magic makes it morph into a school for the magical creatures. All the usual suspects are there in Svetlana Chmakova’s graphic novel, The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods, the mean girl (who used to be a friend and has […]
Second Chances Sometimes Are Worth It
The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson
I had flipped through The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England in a bookstore and decided it didn’t look great. I’m not a big fan of first-person narrating, and I saw a now mildly spoilery part about 2/3 of the way in that seemed dumb, so I put is back. Fast-forward about 6 months and I see the same nook at the library. On a whim, I decided to give it another chance. I’m actually kind of glad that I did. Our narrator wakes […]
Whoops, read this back in CBR7 and never continued!
Shards of Honor (Vorkosigan #1) by Lois McMaster Bujold
So I read this book back in CBR7 with the full intention of blasting through the series . . . and then proceeded to not do that. So of course I had to re-read before actually continuing. This is still three and a half stars, but I’m bumping it up this go-round. I’m very glad I re-read this, because I knew I had forgotten most of what happened here, except for the general arc of Cordelia and Aral Vorkosigan, but I didn’t realize HOW much […]
What Is “The Apocalypse” Anyway But Another Series of Bad Days, Or Same As It Ever Was, Or It’s Irrelevant
You Feel It Just Below the Ribs by Jeffrey Cranor & Janina Matthewson
I can’t really explain it, but You Feel It Just Below the Ribs is a near five star book. I rated it 4.5 stars on Storygraph and I’m not quite sure why I didn’t rate it a 5. I want to… there’s something… but I want to. But I won’t. Because there’s something on the tip of my tongue or on the cusp of catchable thoughts that maybe I can’t articulate. Or maybe I’m just that much of a hard ass. There are a few things […]
I like Trash… recycled sustainably
Team Trash: A Time Traveler’s Guide to Sustainability by Kate Wheeler
When I was reading Team Trash: A Time Traveler’s Guide to Sustainability I took a lot of notes, as there were A LOT of details. Things from literally Pompeii to 2021-2022 and how they all relate to sustainability, environmentalism, and the good, the bad, and the really smelly. Kate Wheeler’s story is more than just an environmental story. It shows friendships and how we can work together, get the job done, and learn how the good, the bad and the ugly, or The Pig, the […]
