I think the marketing people should find other books to compare this book to

All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

July 4, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars #CBR11 Bingo: Youths! From Goodreads: Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him. Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death.  When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. And when […]

And So It Begins

What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris

July 4, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

#CBR11 Book Bingo: And So It Begins From Goodreads, because it’s nearly three months since I finished this baby: It’s 1811, and the threat of revolution haunts the upper classes of King George III’s England. Then a beautiful young woman is found raped and savagely murdered on the altar steps of an ancient church near Westminster Abbey. A dueling pistol discovered at the scene and the damning testimony of a witness both point to one man, Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, a brilliant young nobleman […]

Squirrel Girl continues to delight with choose your own adventure, dating drama, and computer science! (bonus review from Ysakitty)

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Vol. 4: I Kissed a Squirrel and I Liked It by Ryan North (writer), Erica Henderson (artist), Jacob Chabot (artist)

July 3, 2019 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

Squirrel Girl a.k.a. Doreen Green is at the top of my favorite superhero list and I love sharing her with people unfamiliar with this awesome heroine.  My daughters look up to her and you couldn’t ask for a better role model.  In this fourth graphic novel collection there are two particular issues that stand out for their uniqueness in my (albeit limited) comic reading.  The book starts with a choose your own adventure and ends with an issue devoted entirely to using computer science.  In […]

The Price of Valor: Book Three of The Shadow Campaigns by Django Wexler

July 2, 2019 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

As this is the third book in the series, perhaps you should check out my review of the first book The Thousand Names: Book One of the Shadow Campaigns, which is predominantly about a military campaign.  The second book, The Shadow Throne, switches gears and is about political intrigue and power struggles.  This third book, The Price of Valor, is combination of both and an excellent continuation of the series. Note about the cover art of the books: I originally found them off putting as […]

People are like animals. Some are happiest penned in, some need to roam free.

Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls

July 2, 2019 by Leedock Leave a Comment

CBR11 BINGO: Reading the TBR This was a book that I received for CBR 10’s holiday book exchange (thanks again, kfishgirl). I read and reviewed Walls’ “Glass Houses” last year and loved it. I waited a bit to start this one because I am quickly going to run out of Jeannette Walls titles to read and I’m trying to drag it out a little. So, this one has been on my TBR pile since December 2018 and thus fulfills the “Reading the TBR” bingo slot! […]

Just as hilarious as the first outing by Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne

No Country for Old Gnomes: The Tales of Pell by Delilah S. Dawson, Kevin Hearne

July 1, 2019 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

Last year Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne released, and I reviewed, Kill the Farm Boy: The Tales of Pell.  It was a hysterical twisting of fantasy tropes that had my husband and I literally laughing out loud while reading.  This year they put out another book set in Pell, No Country for Old Gnomes.  The nifty thing about these two books is they are standalone.  You do not need to have read Kill the Farm Boy to read No Country for Old Gnomes, this is not […]
