My husband Jason and I are wonder twin cancer survivors! Sadly, all the radiation did not make us bionic...yet. I've done two quarter Cannonballs successfully now, and this year I'm going for a half.

So Much Unsaid

You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle

April 13, 2022 by Debcapsfan 1 Comment

I saw this on NPR’s best books from 2021 and checked it out of the library. I do peek and see how other Cannonballers liked a book before I post my review. In this case because this was on a best books list and I found You Deserve Each Other very meh. This story could have been catnip for me with the terrible interfering mother-in-law. Mine once told my husband before we got married that because I have a “high, flat forehead” I must be […]

The End Justifies the Means

Radicalized by Cory Doctorow

March 29, 2022 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

Radicalized by Cory Doctorow is four short stories turned into a novel. I checked this out from the library. The cover grabbed me, it is black and white with four red and black images, a piece of toast with a no sign marked through it, a person in a heroic pose with a cape trailing behind them, a pill with a hand reaching up through it, and a red skull on a black background. I enjoyed “Unauthorized Bread” about digital rights management. The heroine is […]

Fine, I’ll Say It

Peace Talks by Jim Butcher

March 8, 2022 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

I got Peace Talks by Jim Butcher out of the library. I’m not sure they have Battle Ground, I guess I should check. I was…underwhelmed. I’m starting to think that Jim Butcher can’t write/doesn’t know what to do with his female characters. Everyone wants Harry, Harry wants everyone, except Justine, because she’s off limits.  He can’t even act like a normal dude about Butters’ consensual poly relationship.  And yes, I’m glad he and Karrin Murphy finally traded I love yous, but he couldn’t get it […]

Sparks Fly

The Duke is Wicked (League of Lords Book 3) by Tracy Sumner

March 1, 2022 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

I got this book from a stuff your kindle thread on twitter. According to the description it was a historical romance with a Duke and an American heiress, with the pairs from previous stories having supernatural abilities. The Duke, Sebastian, forms a League (not of Extraordinary Gentleman although that could work here) of people with supernatural abilities to protect them. This is the third book in the series, and I probably should have gotten the first two to get some context that I missed, but […]

Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee

January 20, 2022 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

More post apocalyptic fiction!

Not Your Sidekick, by C.B.Lee tells the story of Jessica Tran, living in a futuristic town where her parents are minor celebrity super heroes. Her sister is a much bigger super hero working for the League of Heroes. Jess is bi, and has a big crush on […]

When A Cozy Mystery Needs a Trigger Warning

Of Murders and Mages: Casino Witch Mysteries 1 by Nikki Haverstock

January 11, 2022 by Debcapsfan 5 Comments

I got this book, from a link on twitter promising to stuff your kindle with free romance novels. You could sort by format of e-reader, and genre. Fun, right? So I read Of Murders and Magic, the first in a series set in magical casino set in a made up town by Nikki Haverstock, who apparently hosted a reality tv archery competition in 2013 on NBCSports Network. What else can I tell you about this author? Well, let me tell you, she’s incredibly fat phobic. […]
