The Tethered Mage by Melissa Caruso

by Leave a Comment

Bingo Review 15: Fresh Start I’ve kind of had my eye on The Tethered Mage, Book One of the Swords and Fire trilogy, and using it for the starting a new series square worked out just fine. Looking at the cover I actually just noticed that one of my favorite fantasy writers, Genvieve Cogman, approved of it too; I don’t always have great luck with things authors I like like, but maybe this is an exception. I should also admit that by the end I […]

No Real Gold Here, Just Dull Rocks with Spraypaint

Gold by Dan Rhodes

by Leave a Comment

Bingo Review 14: Yellow Gold (aka “shiny yellow”, hence it counts for this square) is something I’ve had sitting around for a while; I picked it up out of a bargain bin at an indie bookstore I like. Basically, Miyuki, whose father was Japanese and mother Welsh, goes on vacation every year for two weeks in January to a small town in Wales and ends up in the local pub a lot. She gets to know some of the regulars and locals who drink there. […]

Lumberjanes do Friendship to the Max Indoors and Out

Lumberjanes (vols. 13-14) by Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh, Dozerdraws

Bingo review 14: Friendship Since a tagline for the series is “Friendship to the Max!”, I figure Lumberjanes vols. 13-14 counts for the Friendship square. After a few shaky installments, it feels like the Lumberjanes series is getting its groove back a little. For those unfamiliar, this is a comic book series that follows a group of girls who become friends at the Lubmerjanes summer camp aka “Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady-Types”. April’s the leader go-getter type, Jo’s the smart […]

The Gangster Way to do Household Work

The Way of the Househusband (vol. 1) by Kousuke Oono

by Leave a Comment

Bingo review 13: Happy Some years ago, I had moved cross country for my first full-time job after finishing school (at least for the time being) and one thing that I started turning to for comfort from the stresses of a new job in a new area away from home was manga. Longish story short, it started with a magazine in the grocery store and grew from there. Ever since, manga has been a go-to for a feel-better read. I recently picked up The Way […]

A Ghost in a Green Gown

The Girl in The Green Silk Gown by Seanan McGuire

by 2 Comments

Bingo review 12: Green In some ways, The Girl in the Green Silk Gown was actually my introduction to Seanan McGuire; it was the first book of hers that drew my interest, but it wasn’t the first thing of hers that I read. I’m just only now getting to it. It turns out the titular green dress actually has some meaning in the story, but it’s also a handy reason to use it for this bingo square. This is book two about Rose Marshall, who […]
