Stuart Turton is an imaginative little turd. I might be a fan for life. #CBRBINGO – Reader’s Choice

The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton

July 14, 2021 by narfna 2 Comments

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 28/30 This was one of the last books I read in my thirty day book binge, and I think it says something about how good it was that even though I had some book fatigue going on, I happily and quickly finished this in less than two days. It’s not a huge book, but it’s not small, either. Like Turton’s first book, this is a mystery at heart, and also like his first book, there are some complicating factors […]

When I say gross, I mean nasty. Do not read this while eating.

Chew, Vol.1: Taster's Choice by John Layman

July 9, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 21/30 Haha, what a weird, gross book. I liked it. I mean it, if you can’t handle seriously nasty things (mostly involving tasting and smelling, and bodily fluids, and gore) stay away from here. If you’ve got a strong stomach and appreciate a wacky premise, this might be for you. Basically, Tony Chu is a cop, who is a cibopath, meaning he can sense the histories of what he eats. This basically means all he eats is beets in […]

Being Human is a Revolution

The Devil You Know by Kit Rocha

July 9, 2021 by Emmalita 2 Comments

Kit Rocha’s pragmatic, chaotic optimists have gotten me through the last few years. I’m going to need a bunch of you to buy Deal With the Devil and The Devil You Know, or request that your library buy them, so that I get more of these post-apocalyptic do-gooding murder ladies and sourdough making supersoldier daddies to help me hold onto hope amid the rising tide of authoritarianism, the crumbling wall between church and state, and the increased concentration of wealth into a few hands. I […]

Rhythm of War: Book 4 of the Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson

July 8, 2021 by Ale 1 Comment

Continuing in the Stormlight Archives, Rhythm of War focuses on Venli, the Listener turned Voidbringer, whose mostly at fault for causing all the calamities befalling our heroes. As always, we hear from all the characters as the book progresses, but Venili is front and center. While it was awesome to finally have the perspective of the non-human characters, and to understand the full weight of human destruction on Roshar’s native peoples, going back through Venli’s past retreads a lot of material already covered in the previous […]

The Evolution of the Soldier

Oathbringer: Book 3 of the Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson

July 7, 2021 by Ale Leave a Comment

Oathbringer continues Sanderson’s epic tale, and while we hear from all the characters,  Dalinar Kholin takes center stage and much of the backstory that’s been hinted in books 1 and 2 comes to light. We are able to understand the depth of Dalinar’s past and how the Blackthorn became the legend he’s purported to be in the first two installments. Even though Sanderson uses this plot formula for both Kaladin in book 1 (who’s been my favorite character throughout the series), and Shallan in book […]

“I am *not a tourist*. A rat climbed up my shoe yesterday, and I just let it happen. Could a tourist do *that*?” #CBRBINGO – They/She/He

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

July 6, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 7/30 This might be the best f/f romance I’ve read? I mean, I don’t want to be facetious or whatever, but I super enjoyed this. I felt the feelings. It got me in my swooners. Plus! I loved the rest of it also. A lot of times in romances you either love the plot and the surroundings or you love the main couple, but here you get the best of both worlds. McQuiston knows how to create atmosphere, she’s […]
