Cozy fantasy and Sci-fi are my self care reads. I love a good magic system and dragons are always welcome. I like my Sci-fi LGBTQ+ positive. YA and Romance fill a sweet spot. And I never underestimate good children's fiction! (Learn more about this Cannonballer: Dome’Loki's Quick Questions interview.)

Dare to be different and true to yourself

The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang

by 2 Comments

Sebastian is a prince who, when looking in a mirror, sometimes sees a princess instead of a prince.  Sebastian longs to express this other side of himself but is afraid of the resulting reactions, particularly what his parents will think.  Frances is a low level seamstress in a shop.  She has daring fashion designs in her heart but the shop Frances works for does not share her artistic vision. Seeing one of Frances unique designs at a ball sparks an idea in Sebastian, to hire […]

Muskets and magic, and females in disguise, oh my!

The Thousand Names has sat on my 2013 TBR shelf for five years now.  Each time I would pick it up I would go, “Eh” and set it back down.  There wasn’t any real reason for my dislike.  My husband had read this and two subsequent books and liked them all.  But for some reason each time I picked it up and the knowledge that it was in part about a colonial like military campaign would give me pause and back on the shelf it […]

Cannonball! – I crushed my goal with Ms. Marvel

by 4 Comments

Earlier this year I accidentally read the fourth Ms. Marvel graphic novel before the third, Ms.Marvel: Crushed.  Instead of immediately going back and reading number three I went on to read other things.  When I was ready to pick it up, I couldn’t find it, the house seemed to have eaten it.  About two weeks ago it resurfaced and I decided to save it to complete my cannonball.  Sosuke is not as thrilled as I am, since his nap was disturbed to take this photo.

Thank you, Bunnybean, these are going to the top of my TBR!

Wall-E’s lack of enthusiasm is by no means a reflection of my attitude, I’m super excited!  Thank you, Bunnybean, for sending The Language of Thorns and Six of Crows.  TLoT has been on my “wish-list” and SoC has been on my “recommended by friends-list” and I had no idea they were by the same author, Leigh Bardugo, until I put my suggestions in the gift exchange form. I’m delighted to hear that your house highly recommends Bardugo and looking forward to reading them. Wishing you a joyful […]

Cute cooking manga

by Leave a Comment

My elementary school daughters have recently discovered the manga section at the library and due to their interest in cooking shows they brought home Kitchen Princess: Volume 1.  It is a classic shoujo manga.  Shoujo stories are aimed primarily at young females and are heavily focused on personal and romantic relationships this is no exception. The heart of the story is Najika Kazami an orphan (because of course she is) with the ability to remember everything she has ever tasted and can recreate a dish perfectly […]

It’s complicated; romance, family, politics, whether one is dead or not, all of it is complicated

This book suffered from next book-itis.  I started reading it but got distracted by wanting to read other books when I realized that two more bingo squares would give me a second bingo (Between the Bridge and the River and Eleanor and Park).  I half-heartedly kept reading City of Brass while waiting to get to my main city library where I could pick up both books.  At the time of stopping reading, I was feeling so so about the City of Brass.  I was having trouble keeping track of the […]
