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. (Learn more about this Cannonballer: Debcapsfan's Quick Questions interview.)

The Dispatcher by John Scalzi

by 1 Comment

CBR11 Bingo Square- Science! The Dispatcher by John Scalzi was created as an audio book narrated by Zachary Quinto, and was a free monthly download for subscribers. I’ve only read one other Scalzi (I really should fix that) but this main character, Tony Valdez, is a similar type of main character, working in a morally gray area and not feeling that bad about it. In his world, most people cannot be murdered, they wake up in their beds, naked and with the clock starting again. […]

Not so little runaways

Runaways Vol. 1: Find Your Way Home by Rainbow Rowell and Kris Anka

Runaways Vol. 2: Best Friends Forever by Rainbow Rowell and Kris Anka

by Leave a Comment

4.5 stars This post contains spoilers from the original Runaways graphic novels. When I found out that one of my favorite authors and favorite people to follow on Twitter, Rainbow Rowell was writing a continuation of the Runaways, a group of Marvel teens that find out their parents and super evil and murdering kids, I was very excited. I had only read the first 3 collected volumes, but Gert and Chase are one of my favorite couples of all time. I knew that Rainbow Rowell […]

Great! But…

Fall 2019 Needs to Hurry Up

Check, Please! by Ngozi Ukazu

by 1 Comment

This is a collection of a web comic created by Ngozi Ukazu about the fictional Samwell hockey team. It’s one of NPR’s best books of 2018, but I found it through the Puck Soup hockey podcast. If you don’t like/know anything about hockey and found college to be less than great you will still enjoy this. I love hockey and laughed so hard. But it’s much more about the relationships between friends during a couple of years of their lives. The main character is Eric […]

Twitter Can Be Fun

Destiny's Surrender by Beverly Jenkins

by 1 Comment

3.5 stars I started following Beverly Jenkins on Twitter because someone told her to “check her white privilege.” Romance twitter is fun and she is fun. (Don’t cross any of the romance authors on twitter though because they will eat you alive.) So today’s my birthday and I found out we share a birthday and it’s all very exciting. Anyhoo, I enjoyed this book. It’s very steamy, Billie is a whore and Andrew is an attorney and land owner. That’s certainly one way to work […]

This SHOULD have been a duology

Renegades by Marissa Meyer

Archenemies by Marissa Meyer

by 1 Comment

The Renegades series by Marissa Meyer was supposed to be a duology. The first book, Renegades, tells the story of Gatlin City, a far distant US (probably) where people with super powers started appearing, and chaos quickly descended. A group of anarchists ruled the city, with the help of gangs. (It is unclear if members of the gangs have powers, or are just not nice people.) The Anarchists are overthrown by a group with powers (called prodigies) known as the Renegades. At the start of […]
