“The Fate of the Phoenix”: Early Original Star Trek Novel Vangie13 cbr #13

January 20, 2014 by Vangie13 2 Comments

by Sondra Marshak & Myrna Culbreath Captain’s Personal Log.  Dear Log:  I love Spock sooooo much.  He is my best BFF forever. I would die for him.  He would die for me.  Couldn’t you just die? LOL This book picks up immediately after the prior one ends.  And carries on just as insufferably, just as incomprehensibly, just as self-importantly, as the first one. But without the slash scenes, so you don’t even have that to help you get through it. I have no clue at […]

“The Price of the Phoenix”: Early Original Star Trek Novel Vangie13 cbr #12

January 20, 2014 by Vangie13 4 Comments

by Sondra Marshak & Myrna Culbreath I knew it was gonna be bad.  But I didn’t know it was gonna be this bad. I read the two “Phoenix” books out of publishing order and saved them for the last of the Bantam books because I recalled that they took place one right after the other and I didn’t like them.  I remember reading these books as a teen and thinking I just wasn’t knowledgeable enough to understand. I thought since I’d never read philosophy or […]

“Like a movie reel run in reverse”

January 19, 2014 by alannaofdoom 4 Comments

Wow. I’ve been sitting here considering just copy-pasting “wow” two hundred and forty-nine times. I’d give this book six stars if I could. I think North Korea holds a fascination for many of us in the west. Certainly it does for me. I was eight when the Berlin Wall fell; old enough to know that something was happening, but too young to really grasp the significance. North Korea is the only closed country I’ve ever been aware of. Cuba is near enough and porous enough […]

Book of Ages by Jill Lepore

January 19, 2014 by ElCicco 2 Comments

Book of Ages was a 2013 National Book Award finalist in the non-fiction category. Historian Jill Lepore pieces together the life of Ben Franklin’s sister Jane and in doing so not only reveals the life of a fascinating “ordinary” 18th-century woman who happened to be the beloved little sister of a Founding Father, but also demonstrates her own prodigious skills as an historian. Lepore’s work is specifically about Jane but more broadly about history and historians, biography and novels, and determining whose lives are worth […]
