CBR11Bingo – Own Voices The font and cover design of the front of this book is stunning and alluring, but also made me a little self-conscious to be reading this book out in public.

While I am not against reading polemics on race in America, one thing that I have had some frustration with in the last first years is kind of perfectly correct, but […]

I was so very, very excited, waiting for this book to come out! Unfortunately, I’m ashamed to say I got snowed under with work. I loved the previous two books in Josiah Bancroft’s Books of Babel series. I don’t think I had ever come across an author who had such a rich, yet witty, literary style. Even better was that he was able to pair it with an unusually intriguingly built world and fantastic character progression. I’m happy to say that this entry lived up […]

When I post my reviews, I try and look around at recent reviews, both for curiosity and to get some ideas for my TBR pile. This sometimes leads to hopscotching around to previous reviews by the same, person etc. I’m not sure exactly how I saw Bea Pants’ […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
