The main character in these books is India Burke – the getting it on boss I first ran into in Due South. First off, I love India, because India is a stone cold bitch. Being a bit prickly myself I was so happy that someone thought someone like me deserved the HEA and the romance while still getting to be herself, to be hard and tough. She doesn’t have to take off the black eyeliner as soon as someone wants her. India is a Sub […]
Constraint is creativity
Wow. I was struck speechless by this book. Mark Watney is stuck on Mars. His crew thinks he is dead. He knows another mission should arrive in about four years. It’s an equation. X food + Y Oxygen – Z Carbon Dioxide + A Water = B Survival Solve for all variables. Inputs to the matrix include available tools and materials, constraints include limited living space, a longer mission time than anything you’re working with was ever designed to function, and a planetary environment that […]
This one time, at office camp…
(NB – This is the earliest I think I’ve ever gotten my first review up, Quarter Cannonball, here I come!) Like many of you, I read The Hating Game and I loved it! So fun, so sweet (so didn’t write a review)! If you too loved The Hating Game, get on this book. Lucy and Evans work together at Burke Consulting Group. I love that the people in this series of books do real work. They are a consulting firm that helps municipalities do stuff […]
Book Exchange!!
My exchange buddy came through super fast! My posting of this didn’t, but here it ihttp://imgur.com/VKmnRLz Thanks mystery friend!! I am totally working to read my books written by people of color, so Kindred is a super dope gift. Here’s a tiny secret – I’m not a Gaiman fan. I’m sure I’ll enjoy this! Don’t feel bad, it’ll be great. I prefer his stuff for younger readers in any case. And I love his graphic novels. Sandman is awesome. Happy Holidays y’all!
I should let my kid pick more often – Review #3
Yeah baby – up to three reviews! I’m reviewing this book the same day I finished reading it, which means that Satan is skating to work. I was in the library with my four year old and told her to pick a book for me to read. She pointed out this one: I like super heroes, so I went with it. It took me a month to start reading it because anxiety sucks a fat one but once I did start I was pleasantly […]
So Excellent! – CBR 8 – Review #2
This review covers three romance novellas that read as one larger story – So Sweet, So Good, & So For Real. Rebekah Weatherspoon has been a Must Read author for me since I read the Fit Trilogy last year. So For Real, the final installment in this series, came out a couple of weeks ago and I snapped it right up. Our MC is Kayla Davis – a thick, black, bisexual woman who has just been laid off from her job. Her roommate, Adler, convinces […]
