The GOAT

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

August 1, 2021 by ElCicco 2 Comments

Cbr13bingo Self care Pride and Prejudice is my favorite novel of all time. As I believe I have related before, it is the first and only book that I’ve read which, upon finishing for the first time, I immediately returned to page one and read it all over again. For many years, I did a reread around the holidays as a gift to myself. My first ebook download was Pride and Prejudice. I’ve seen a couple of the adaptations (the definitive A&E/Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle series, […]

“Keep Reading. Keep Writing. Keep Fighting. We’re all still here.”

This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar, Max Gladstone

August 1, 2021 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

I was intimidated by this book, which feels like a strange thing to say about a book that measures no more than 7 inches tall and less than 200 pages. But I was. A book that inspires so many positive, nay gushing, reviews that also seems to leave the reviewer at a loss for how to describe the book (see please reviews by Aquillia, andtheIToldYouSos, carriejay, and emmalita as a place to start) had me putting it on and taking it off my to read […]

Bingo 9: Mythic The Ancient Magus Bride is a manga and anime series based primarily in Celtic mythology, although it contains references to other folklore as well. One of the key characters (the magus of the title) is Elias who is some kind of Fae creature, given that he’s claimed as such by Titania and Oberon (this happens early in the series), the dragons who show up are European in appearance, Silky is a brownie who used to be a banshee, there are some sídhe, […]

Crowns, and Kings, and Grisha things, maybe a few too many

Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo

July 31, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

Bingo 8: Rec’d I picked up Rule of Wolves partly because Narfna seemed to mostly like it (6/21/21) and it was out on a library display, so opportunity. Admittedly I hadn’t read it’s prequel but that turned out to be fine, since I had previously read the duology that comes directly before this one. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing for the previous entry in the series, but at this point I doubt I’ll be seeking it out since I now […]

CBR13Bingo – Old Series! So I am calling these the ret-chronicles because there’s some reverse engineering happening here storywise. This happens a few ways. For one, certain events and knowledge that would have been really important and useful in the War of the Lance, appears here in this books, but not in the main novels. And sometimes this forgetting is dealt with and sometimes not. For another, no one talks about most of these things in the main novels and it seems like some of […]

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.

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.
