Games Help Us Understand Life

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

by 2 Comments

Bingo square – Font – Hella cool font Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow reminded me a ton of one of my favorite TV shows, Halt and Catch Fire. It examines human relationships and heartbreak and how we use games to cope with and process our lives. I completely fell in love with both the main characters Sam and Sadie and didn’t get that sometimes itchy feeling I get when the perspective changes and I wish I was with a different character. Zevin digs really deeply […]

A Wee Slip of a Tale

A Mirror Mended by Alix E. Harrow

by Leave a Comment

Bingo square – Adapt/Camel – Classic retelling with characters adapting left and right I love Alix E. Harrow. I read everything she writes and it is all pretty fantastic, including this one. But this series is annoying me because each novella is so short! Why is it not just one novel?? Ok so technically this is the second book in her Fractured Fables series, which is a great concept but it feels like the publisher is really milking it to make these all come out […]

Truly Madly Deeply OR Women Figuring Their Shit Out

How to Fall Out of Love Madly by Jana Casale

by Leave a Comment

Bingo square – HEART – about love Love is never easy. Anyone who tells you otherwise is bullshitting you. Even good love, love that lasts, takes work. The same can be said for friendship. And your career. And just being alive generally right now. It is all hard. How to Fall of Love Madly by Jana Casale drops you right into the middle of the lives of three women that are working their shit out. It can be painful to watch. Like a car crash […]

Grown-ass Ladies With Superpowers

The Change by Kirsten Miller

by 2 Comments

Bingo square – MONSTER – there are evil monstrous men in this book The Change by Kirsten Miller was one of those books that I got a reader copy of on a whim and then ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting. It is a pulpy fun feminist revenge fantasy that will give you strong Witches of Eastwick vibes (sans the devil himself, but featuring some truly horrible men). It has a great premise–what if menopause didn’t just suck, but instead gave you […]

Erotic Crystal Ball Visions

Go Hex Yourself by Jessica Clare

by 1 Comment

Bingo square – NEW – new book and a new-ish genre to me I don’t really read a lot of romance, but when I do it usually comes with a strong dose of fantasy or sci-fi (think Deborah Harkness or Gail Carringer–heavy romance elements but no really super explicit sex scenes). I decided to dabble and try out the genre again after a long hiatus with Go Hex Yourself by Jessica Clare. It didn’t hurt that there was an adorable black kitty on the cover […]

She’s Not There

You Have a Friend in 10A by Maggie Shipstead

by 1 Comment

Bingo square – REC’D – I would recommend this book For some reason when I think of Maggie Shipstead’s short story collection You Have a Friend in 10A I think of the Zombies’ song, “She’s Not There”. Well, no one told me about her, the way she lied Well, no one told me about her, how many people cried But it’s too late to say you’re sorry How would I know, why should I care? Please don’t bother tryin’ to find her She’s not there […]
