Late to the party, but still treats

The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher

November 25, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I came late to the Carrie Fisher as an author party.  I knew she had written certain ones, forgotten she’d written other ones, but never read anything. Plus, I only had a small inkling of wanting to read anything (mostly right after she passed). But then I found The Princess Diarist. Thinking it was the last memoir she wrote, I figured it was as good as any other to start with. Afterall, why not do the most recent one? It would have the most updated […]

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra Vol. 1 - Aphra by Kieron Gillen

January 21, 2024 by dreadpiratekel Leave a Comment

When I think of Star Wars, I think of space, lightsabers, and Darth Vader. I know some of the various versions of the Star Wars universe have dealt with the history of said universe, but I think of Star Wars as the future (even if it was in a galaxy a long time ago). This is why it was fun to read about Doctor Aphra in the first volume (collecting issues #1-6) of the graphic novel series that bears her name. She is a Star […]

Star Wars: Exploring Tatooine - An Illustrated Guide by Riley Silverman

April 30, 2023 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

When the first Star Wars movie came out in May 1977, I was 8 years old. I don’t know why I went to see it. I was horrifying my parents with my love of Charlie’s Angels (I remember nothing about the plots, only the hair and the costumes). I was entirely earthbound. But somehow I saw the movie and fell in love. My friends and I went from playing Charlie’s Angels to playing Charlie’s Angels in Star Wars (still horrifying my parents with that) because […]

Found Family is Just My Favorite Trope, Forever

It's Called A Flush by Deniigiq

Flush: Chatlog by Deniigiq

April 28, 2022 by NTE Leave a Comment

My brother is an OG-we-had-the-Darth-Vadar-Cases-for-our-action-figures Star Wars fan. One of the only things my brother says he will never forgive my mom for is falling asleep in the theater when she watched A New Hope for the first time: In her defense, she was 16, and leaving the house childless for the first time since my brother was born, so she was pretty tired. She remembers the words crawling up the screen, a ship, and that’s all folks. New moms everywhere can understand. I know […]

Who wants to get drunk together and talk about the Bricklayer?

The Fall of Babel by Josiah Bancroft

February 19, 2022 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

  In my previous review of Josiah Bancroft’s The Hod King,   the third instalment in the Books of Babel series, I mentioned that due to its darker tone and shocker of a cliffhanger, the third book appeared to be ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ of Thomas Senlin’s story.  So now that I’ve read that The Fall of Babel, the final instalment in the series, can I say that this is Bancroft’s ‘Return of the Jedi?’ Not, really, no. I have to confess that with this last […]

finally felt like getting back into some fanfic!

A path to broken stars by stellardarlings

November 30, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Hmm I didn’t even realize it until I started writing reviews but this is, actually, the third Beauty and the Beast retelling I read in a row. What can I say? It is clearly my favorite type of fairy tale, imprinted upon me due to my youthful love of the Disney classic. When your other choices are “sleeps for the best parts (x2),” “wears a shoe,” “gives up her entire world for the dude,” it’s not surprising that Belle “I read and yell back and […]
