Behind the Hill There’s a Busy Little Still

February 27, 2015 by Annie AK Leave a Comment

I can’t say I wasn’t disappointed this story didn’t play out more like the second (and superior) second season of “Justified,” I still came away enjoying a sweet romantic story about a girl so desperate to get out of her small-ass town she’ll resort to illegal moonshining to help her pay her way through college. Of course, falling in love with the podunk hillbilly hearththrob/recovering alcoholic wasn’t exactly part of the plan. Then again, when is it ever?

Book Club? YASSSSS!

February 22, 2015 by staramour 5 Comments

Could this book be a little bit longer please? As the first few books from my Cannonball did not really grab me, I was glad when this one did.  To say grab though is a bit of an understatement.  It was like getting pulled by the ear over to a scene and someone shouting into my ear “LOOK AT THIS!”  In the posting of my review, I see that it is going to be the Book Club on 9 March.  Definitely get it and you’ll […]

Anyone Can Betray Anyone

February 20, 2015 by Caitycat Leave a Comment

This is why this review took me two weeks. This book was good, but I really wanted to LOVE it. It’s about a society where the people are divided by blood. Reds have red blood and are the bottom class. Silvers have silver blood that gives them abilities and they oppress the Reds. Mare is a Red who demonstrates an ability to control electricity in an arena full of Silvers. The King and Queen decide to hide her in plain sight by making up a […]

Between the Spark and the Burn

February 20, 2015 by Caitycat Leave a Comment

Second and final book to Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. It’s pretty good, but made me a little bit sad. You can read my full review here.

Beautiful and Bizarre, Weird and Wonderful

February 13, 2015 by Quorren Leave a Comment

 Two things before we dive in: 1.  This is the second book in a series, so, you know, spoilers. 2. If you do buy this book (and you really, really should, after you buy the first one), I’d advise getting the first edition.  It’s out of print, but not hard to find a fine used copy and not very expensive either.  Subsequent additions don’t include Barker’s original artwork and while it’s not completely necessary to the story, it does help set the mood of the book. […]

Depression Is a Dick

February 10, 2015 by Annie AK 4 Comments

You know, I had a very lovely Tuesday planned that involved reading, possibly finishing, one of the four wonderful books I’m currently reading. And then the mail came with two books I pre-ordered, and those plans were shot to fuck. It seems that Jasmine Warga and her debut novel My Heart and Other Black Holes had vastly different ideas about how my day off would be spent. I can’t remember the last time I inhaled a book, cover to cover, within the span of an […]
