Let me start out this review by saying SPOILERS BELOW! After the first picture, all bets are off. I can’t review these books without using details, because some of them get me feisty. I actually wrote these reviews on paper last night because I had many #feelings. I randomly found this series from my library through the Overdrive app. I’ve listened to all three books that way. Cinder is #1, Scarlet is #2, and Fairest is #3.5. I’m on a waiting list for #3, but […]

Higher. Further. Faster. YAY!

I’ve been waiting for the Captain Marvel movie since 2012! I read the first few volumes for a MOOC called “Gender Issues in Comics” which was presented on Canva by Christy Blanch. It was a wonderful course which jumpstarted my interest in superhero comics (particularly female superhero comics). And I completely got why Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers changed the game for female comics readers. So in anticipation of the new movie, I avoided all casting reveals and spoilers and revisited the first 3.5 volumes of the […]

Mousetronaut: Based on a (Partially) True Story by Mark Edward Kelly

There are two thoughts I figure one could have when seeing the cover of Mousetronaut: Based on a (Partially) True Story by Mark Edward Kelly: One: OMG that is the cutest thing ever Two: OMG What is that? C.F. Payne’s illustrations are classical them and it shows on said cover. And you love it or hate it. Feeling of if you like or dislike mice and/or if you like or dislike stories about mice will also affect your feelings on this cover. I […]

Planet hopping and robots and sex, oh my!

Barbarella by Jean-Claude Forest

Barbarella was one of the first digital comics I bought back in 2014, when I got my first tablet and realized that Google Play also sells books and often has better prices than Amazon available in my region. The only thing I knew about it was that it had inspired a movie starring Jane Fonda that I have never seen. So why did I buy it? Well, I have a bit of an Everest problem when it comes to books AND it was available in […]

Barkonauts are the best!

October 1, 2018 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

Greg Van Eekhout is now one of my favorite authors thanks to his Daniel Blackland series, starting with California Bones. In it he created a fascinating magic system called osteomancy, where one gets magical properties through consuming the remains of magical creatures. Magical creatures also being fellow spell casters. Not exactly fit for the tween and under set. However, Greg has just had Voyage of the Dogs come out and it is all ages. If you know a child that loves dogs and thinks outer space […]

Turns out astronauts are massive nerds

August 30, 2018 by tillie Leave a Comment

Every child grows up wanting to be an astronaut, but few people ever succeed. Most people abandon the dream quite organically, but I think everybody wonders sometimes what it’s like out there. Mike Massimino’s dreams of space were first ignited when he watched Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. This book covers his journey from small kid, to university, to NASA. It’s filled with loads of obstacles, he flunks exams, his application is rejected twice before he makes it through only to fall short […]

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.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
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.
