Reader, role-player, board-gamer, and baker who happens to be a mom that would like to travel and ride horses more. Found predominantly reading fantasy, sci-fi, children's, middle grade fiction, and YA in roughly that order, preferably with a cup of tea nearby. My daughter in 7th grade will occasionally be adding comments, as Ysakitty, to books she has read too.

Dresden short stories made for enjoyable health stomps

Side Jobs by Jim Butcher

by 1 Comment

CBR 13 Bingo Square: Old Series – The first Dresden Files book, Storm Front, was published April, 1st 2000 Side Jobs contains eleven short stories, little adventures that happen between the novels.  Some were written for promotional reasons and some were written at the invitation of anthology editors.  These stories occur from before Storm Front to just after Changes.  This was my first audio book experience and I enjoyed it immensely.  Ardaigle’s waxing rhapsodic over James Marster’s narration convinced me that I needed to hear it for myself.  […]

“But somehow I’m still here, and he’s still here, and even though I still feel like a hopeless case, this thing between us doesn’t feel hopeless at all.”

Any Way the Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell

CBR 13 Bingo Square: Shelfie THIS BOOK!  After having reread Carry On and Wayward Son, I was primed for Any Way the Wind Blows.  I devoured it so quickly that I immediately reread to be able to slow down and better absorb the story.   Rowell brings the Simon Snow trilogy to a satisfying close but what an emotional journey to get there.  Carrying their hearts on their sleeves, Simon and Baz are so vulnerable and continually bracing for the pain that might come.  Penelope’s decisions and the […]

A hilarious and cheeky take on who Jesus (Joshua) was growing up, before becoming the Messiah

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore

CBR13 Bingo Square: Pandemic – I highly recommend reading this during a pandemic, the laughs were needed! No disrespect to Christopher Moore but had I not procrastinated I would have seen Jenny Lawson in conversation with either Felicia Day or Neil Gaiman for her Broken (in the best possible way) promotion.  However, I’m grateful I did as this was my first event with Moore and he was highly entertaining!  Lawson shared that Lamb is her favorite book by him which instantly put it on my […]

“But it was a mistake thinking of that as an end. There is no end. Bad things happen, and then they stop, but they keep on wreaking havoc inside of people.”

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

CBR 13 Bingo: Rep – Rowell’s portrayal of Simon’s depression is a very frank picture of what depression can feel like and how it affects relationships. Contains Spoilers if you have not read Carry On and Wayward Son. This is Part Two of my rereading books one and two of Rainbow Rowell’s, Simon Snow trilogy, before starting number three, Any Way the Wind Blows.  Part One can be found here.  And if you’re interested in my original thoughts on those two books, they can be found  here.

Epic enemies to lovers and queer romance for The Chosen One

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

CBR 13 Bingo: Gateway – Carry On is the gateway to Simon Snow and Rowell’s World of Mages. After watching Rainbow Rowell for the book release of Any Way the Wind Blows, I wanted to re-read Carry On and Wayward Son to fall in love with Simon and Baz all over again.  However, they didn’t fit into my bingo plan, then Malin helpfully suggested that Carry On works for Gateway and Wayward Son for Rep.  I didn’t have a book picked for either square yet so […]
