Wherein incest is rampant, for reals, trigger warnings ahoy

December 16, 2014 by Amanda 2 Comments

I kicked ass at reading this year (151 so far, whaaaaaaat) but totally, totally failed when it came to writing reviews.  But I wanted to post at least one because…futility is awesome?  I don’t know guys, just go with it. When I first heard about Kate Wilhelm about a year ago, I was inclined to like her.  “A female author writing sci-fi in the 60s/70s?  Hell yeah, screw Heinlein!”  Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang is the third book by Kate Wilhelm that I have […]

Only one Bad Wolf mention?

It’s really cute how these Doctor Who books do a pre-credits scene before the first chapter.  You can practically hear the theme song in your head.

Sire, the night is darker now / And the wind blows stronger

December 15, 2014 by drmllz 2 Comments

Mystery in White: A Christmas Crime Story (1937) exploits seasonal chill to the max on every possible level. It’s cold, neck-deep in snow–and there might be ghosts or other unearthly things hiding in the shadowy whiteness. The story begins conventionally enough, with a group of strangers stuck on a train that’s stuck in a snowdrift. One of them, an elderly man who seems to know a lot about the paranormal, and the traces left on the present by violent or highly emotionally-charged events of the […]

Not What It Sounds Like, But Click for an Unforgettable Book Cover Just the Same

Knitting in the City: Neanderthal Seeks Human, Neanderthal Marries Human & Love Hacked by Penny Reid

December 15, 2014 by Mrs. Julien 5 Comments

Don’t worry, despite the title it’s not one of these: Now, you can’t unsee it either. The Knitting in the City contemporary romance series is extremely highly-rated on Amazon and I both do and do not understand why. I don’t know what juju is in these books, but I keep re-reading the ones I have, particularly Neanderthal Seeks Human and Neanderthal Marries Human which both focus on the same couple. Re-readability is a kind of litmus test for me with this genre. I interact with […]

The new king of the dads has risen.

December 15, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

My daughter can’t even read and she loves this book.  She says it’s about mommies, which is amazingly on point, since I haven’t read any of it to her. I also feel I should point out that the color scheme is the same as my old Livejournal.
