All the Birds in the World by David Opie

Little Tree by Loren Lon

Maiden & Princess by Daniel Haack

June 22, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Customer: I would like this book please. Me: Of course, it will be…. up to 4 weeks to get. Why? Because not all books are “books” in the book world and come from our “sidelines” vendors. (You just got a peak into the underbelly of the Bookstore World). But it was mostly worth the wait. All the Birds in the World is David Opie’s book of flight, fancy and birds. Putting fact and fiction together, our narrator gives us the bird(s). They talk about all […]

If you could rid yourself of memories, would you?

The Binding by Bridget Collins

June 19, 2020 by TheShitWizard Leave a Comment

Kind of like a nineteenth century version of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Binding is an atmospheric and bittersweet fantasy in which we meet Emmett Farmer. Living in a small village with his family, Emmett’s world is one on which books are taboo. For in this world, books don’t contain mere stories but memories – binders can take your most painful memories and bind them into books, wiping your mind clean of them. When we meet Emmett he’s in recuperation after a mystery […]

Sudo read this comic if you don’t already

XKCD Volume 0 by Randall Munroe

June 13, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Since starting to work from home full time in March, I have gotten a little out of the habit of checking the XKCD web-comic regularly. I’ve forgotten how I first found it; I suspect my brother forwarded me one he thought I’d like and the rest, as they say,… Anyways, I realized that I had XKCD: Volume 0 on my shelf, and I don’t think I’ve ever read it through until very recently. The tagline on the webcomic is “A web-comic of romance, sarcasm, math, […]

Let Me Live in this Universe!

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

June 4, 2020 by randirock Leave a Comment

I love romance novels, and Red, White & Royal Blue offered me the awesome opportunity to read my  first gay romance. I’m so happy to have made this particular book my initiation. It was fun, well-written, and moving. The love scenes were steamy, and the scenario of a female President of the United States was dreamy. Overall, it was a universe I would love to live in, especially given what we’re currently dealing with in 2020. Alex is the 21-year-old son of the aforementioned POTUS […]

A cute premise but ultimately a forgettable book

Trouble in Mudbug by Jana Deleon

May 31, 2020 by pixifer Leave a Comment

I love the Miss Fortune series by Jana Deleon. Seriously. Love, love, love it. I’ve recommended it to so many people. A few weeks ago, I got a notice from amazon that the latest book has come out. I quickly got tired of waiting for my library to purchase a copy, so I picked up Trouble in Mudbug, the first in the Ghost-in-Law series by Jana Deleon, in hopes that it would tide me over.  Botanist Maryse Robicheaux spends her days in the bayou hunting […]

Nothing to Care About

Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner

May 28, 2020 by surebitch 2 Comments

I’m a cover whore. Oftentimes, it only takes a cute cover for me to buy a book. I know it’s a compulsion I should reign in, along with buying drinks because the can is adorable, but alas, I haven’t yet. When Something to Talk About popped up in my Goodreads feed, I was in love. My anticipation for the book was sky-high—finally a Sapphic book with a cover that made me swoon but that wasn’t about teenagers (nothing wrong with that, but I remained closeted […]
