Blah Blah Blah Girl Power

Girl Dinner by Olivie Blake

June 18, 2026 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

I got tired of waiting for a hold of this at the library so I bought a copy. It’s very very pink. I am tempted to leave it in someone’s free library. Girl Dinner‘s main conceit is on the cover with the fork and the drops of blood. Every member of The House, the most exclusive sorority that is never named on the University campus that is never named eats people. The story alternates between the point of view of Nina Kaur a sophmore pledging […]

No One Can Hear You Squish

The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer

January 15, 2026 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

I found this audiobook from Booktok. The Darkness Outside Us is a Stonewall Book Award Nominee for children’s and young adult literature. Queer characters plus a space opera is how it was marketed to me. I did see a follow up video that there is horror (said in a dramatic voice). Ambrose wakes up on a space ship with no memory of launching. He is injured, and he quickly realizes that he is on the ship to rescue his sister, who was sent to explore […]

Ewww…NO!

Lore Olympus Volume One by Rachel Smythe

Lore Olympus Volume 2 by Rachel Smythe

I got the first 2 books of the webtoon Lore Olympus out of the library based on the NPR best books list. It sounded right up my alley, a modern retelling of the story of Hades and Persephone. The art makes Olympus seem very sleek and modern, like Tokyo. Each of the big three and their children are a different color (their skin is that color.) Hades is blue, Zeus is purple and Poseidon is green. I call them the big three because they each […]

A Magic School for Kids

The Incandescent by Emily Tesh

CBR Square- School I read The Incandescent by Emily Tesh because she promoted it on Threads as a book with a magic school where the adults are allowed to be competent. And that doesn’t mean they don’t make mistakes, but when the students get themselves into trouble with their magic, they go to an adult who can help them and she does. So this is entirely told from the adult perspective, and one demon. I really liked it a lot. Dr. Walden is the Director of Magic […]

Stand Back Everyone!

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

CBR Square- Borrowed Rebecca Yarros is about to reinvent the fantasy genre with Fourth Wing! It has sexy times in it, and no fantasy novel in recent times has people enjoying each other’s company! Sigh. I borrowed this for my audible subscription. It was fine. There were actually some things that I liked about this book. I liked the main character Violet has strengths and weaknesses. She has to use her brain to get herself out of situations where other people just use brute strength. […]

The Male Loneliness Epidemic

The Magicians by Lev Grossman

July 28, 2025 by Debcapsfan 2 Comments

CBR Square- Red A friend of mine recommended I watch The Magicians, so I picked up the audiobook to see if I would like it in a general way. I had known that the book is pretty different from the tv show but I thought it would give me a general idea. A few years ago there was a big deal made about how men don’t really form deep friendships anymore and there was a male loneliness epidemic. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/17/1263527043/its-been-a-minute-male-loneliness-epidemic-real. I am not fully sure why […]
