She’s a brick house. She’s mighty mighty and letting it all hang out to frighten you.

December 8, 2014 by cheerbrarian 1 Comment

Oh. My. Gosh. This novel has been my albatross. I came across this book many years ago, borrowed from a friend. I tried to read it, but stalled out. I had my mother buy it for me for Christmas a few years ago and still was never able to conquer it. Yesterday, I was victorious. This is the most mesmerizing, confusing, terrifying, frustrating, wonderful novel that I have ever read. It is a literal and figurative labyrinth and the fact that a human brain could […]

I’m not entirely sure what the protagonist went out drinking, but I doubt I’d want any of it

3.5 stars Pretty much exactly a year after his girlfriend Merrin Williams was found raped and murdered, Ignatius “Ig” Perrish wakes up after getting blackout drunk and discovers horns spouting from his forehead. He’s not entirely sure they’re not a hallucination at first, but when he discovers how people behave around him due to the horns, he realises that they are sadly all too real.

I can think of a number of situations when it would be convenient to have a Head key.

What if Sam Winchester didn’t have a brother?

November 9, 2014 by Malin 2 Comments

This review contains minor spoilers for the book. Nothing big, but if you like to approach a book completely blank, you may want to skip this.  Like his father before him, Cas Lowood travels around the country and lays restless and malevolent ghosts to rest. He and his Wiccan mother rarely stay in one place for too long, and Cas makes very sure not to get too attached to any of the locals, as he’s just going to pack up and leave as soon as […]
