A predictable “The story ended in friendship without any hurt feelings.” but to be continued…

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Vol. 4 by Satoru Yamaguchi, Nami Hidaka

by Leave a Comment

I have no idea why this series is rated “Teen”; ok, there’s a little violence (mostly suggested) but still, especially given how it all works out, My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Vol. 4 isn’t much less dark than The Babysitter’s Club, although this one is definitely less realistic. This is definitely one of those series you can turn to when you want something light; the general premise is that after dying is a car accident while in high school, […]

Where the art and epilogue are the most interesting but there’s also a “Zebracorn Lovebeam!”

Lumberjanes True Colors by Lilah Sturges, Polterlink

by Leave a Comment

Apparently the side series for the Lumberjanes comics are a trilogy; I found number three at the library so I figured I’d finish the trilogy. The thing is that all three seem to be more or less stand-alones all set in the same world with the same characters; although I might have a theory about the possible connections which has to do with the art; I’ll come back to this in a minute. The general plot scenario is pretty basic: one Lumberjane, Riley this time, […]

How the Heroine Lost Her Appeal

How the Multiverse Got Its Revenge by K. Eason

by Leave a Comment

I had thought to finish How The Multiverse Got Its Revenge for 2020 since I’d just reviewed the first book in the series, but I wasn’t quite fast enough. As sequels go, this was pretty average. The action picks up not too long after the concluding events of the first novel, with Rupert, Grytt, and Ivar on their sheep farm on Lanscott, and Rory, Jaed, Zhang, and Thorsdottir basically doing some free-lance piracy/salvage work in some remote corner of space. One of the fairies appears […]

A Few Things Get Lost in Translation from Podcast to Book

Sawbones: the Horrifying, Hilarious Road to Modern Medicine by Dr. Sydnee McElroy, Justin McElroy

by Leave a Comment

So the question for this first review of 2021 was do I review the book I started (and finished) in 2021 first, or the one I started in 2020 and finished in 2021 first? I have decided to review Sawbones: The Book first, because I’m pretty sure I started 2020 with Will My Cate Eat My Eyeballs? (which I greatly enjoyed) and there are some strong similarities, both being medical in nature, as well as presented by an expert (one of the co-authors of Sawbones […]

Pieometry by Lauren Ko

by 2 Comments

This is probably my last review of the year 2020, and I’m glad it’s a pretty good one. I should also note that this is a review of a cookbook that I have not made any recipes from yet. I plan to start tomorrow, but by that point it may be too late to review for this year. I have however read the whole thing, so I don’t feel too bad about that. One reason I want to review Pieometry for 2020 is that in […]
