Katistasia: Our slogan should be “Reading crap so you don’t have to since 2015.” Oh, friends. We did something SO STUPID. We decided to read EL James’ Grey. It seemed like an excellent opportunity for snark. Evidently I’ve subjected us to 450 pages of lip biting. Pattistasia: I read the acknowledgements and already hate you. Katistasia: Not nearly as much as I hate myself. I NEED TO GOUGE MY EYES OUT. Seriously though, how can you claim to have written this especially for the fans […]
Rhys Ford needs a hug. Patty and Katie are whimpering in the corner.
Katharine: Rhys Ford emailed me a couple of weeks ago and asked if Patty and I would be interested in reviewing an ARC of her new book, Ink and Shadows. We said, “OF COURSE.” Like there was a question there or something. Whatevs. She did warn us up front that it was a bit of a departure, but I wasn’t really expecting this. Patricia: OK. I really think Rhys Ford needs a hug. Katie, you are familiar with human feeling things, hug her. Please. Omg […]
My Demon Lover this ain’t. Thank goodness.
Pádraigín: Katie always starts these with ‘gentle reader’. I don’t know you nor do I care to speculate on your gentleness, so… HEY, YOU: This week we read You Slay Me by Katie MacAlister. Amazon’s freaky-deaky algorithm gremlins made it pop up on my So Like, Try This and See What Happens list and I am nothing if not adventurous. (I’m not) Cáitín: I ain’t gonna lie: those Irish names give me fits. None of them are pronounced anything like they’re spelled. Pádraigín: Weird, right? […]
It’s called jumping the shark for a reason
Paaatty: Alright. Lemme just start this off by saying I cannot take a shark shifter seriously when I keep pronouncing his name in my head as “Cohen-rad”. Like he’s my surfer accountant. Which begs the question: can I take a shark shifter seriously otherwise? No. Kaaatie: I was pronouncing it Kohen-raahd. Why do authors insist on using these odd spellings? I don’t understand. Out of curiosity, I googled sexy shark images. There is some truly disturbing shit out there. Paaatty: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? […]
Bringing Sexy Back
Katie: I gotta get this out of the way before we talk about the book any – I actually enjoyed the movie a good bit, even if it is considered one of Spielberg’s lesser works. I mean, Tom Hanks and Christopher Walken both had significant screen time. What’s not to like about that? And, speaking of the Walken, here is one of my all-time favorite videos of his, even if it has absolutely nothing to do with this story. I find it mesmerizing. [youtube […]
Murder. Mayhem. Carnies. What’s not to love?
Note: This review was of an ARC, or advance reader copy, of Murder and Mayhem by Rhys Ford. At the time of the review, the book was not yet available on Amazon.com, so the link leads to the author’s profile page. The book is expected to be released June 5, 2015. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at3OFycpRMQ&w=560&h=315] Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! All the way from the drunken recesses of their minds, a review brought to you by Katinka and Patinka, the Mysterious Bearded Snark Twins. Will they love it? Will […]
