What to read if you just want to watch The Mummy again

Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase

February 22, 2020 by Nart 4 Comments

New, of course, being a bit of a misnomer since the book was published in 2005, but if you haven’t read it it’ll be new to you. It is impossible to read this book and not see the parallels to the Mummy. If you haven’t seen the Mummy, stop what you’re doing and go watch it. It holds up and this review will be incomprehensible to you otherwise. The book follows Daphne, one of the most renown language scholars in the world, as she gets […]

Aliens learning how to be human?

Work for It by Talia Hibbert

February 22, 2020 by Nart Leave a Comment

Yes, it’s another Hibbert. Look, I put a bunch on hold at the library a few months ago and they all came off the list at the same time, giving me 3 weeks to read them all before they go to the next person. This is actually one of her more popular novels, which is probably the only reason I picked it up. I have weird, unsettled feelings about being a mostly straight woman reading a romance about two gay men written by another woman. […]

“Bravery wasn’t an identity, so much as a choice.”

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

I cannot with this book. I cannot with this author. It’s a problem I’m going to have to work through since any time I get off the wait list for one of her books I basically become a non-entity till I’m done and I regularly have to resist the urge to email Ms. Hibbert to inform her that we are basically soul mates because that seems a little intense coming from a stranger. My preferred review for this book would just be various noises, but […]

“Never, in the long history of humanity, has tyranny not ended in revolt.”

Nightchaser by Amanda Bouchet

February 9, 2020 by Nart 1 Comment

Do you like EPIC science fiction about people fighting fascists? Do you like humour? Do you like romance? Then you will love Nightchaser. End of review. No? There’s a minimum word limit? Okay, okay. Nightchaser is the start of a new series for Bouchet. It focuses on Tess Bailey, nee Contessa Novalight, daughter of the Overseer, the oppressive tyrant of literally the entire galaxy. He reminds me a lot of Putin, in that he upholds a culture of drab uniformity, narrative around peace arising directly […]

“Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.”

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

February 9, 2020 by Nart 1 Comment

So recently I got on this masochist kick where I find stuff I used to love as a kid and watch it with adult eyes, knowing it will almost certainly ruin it. Essentially, what happened is that a few years ago I did a rewatch of Xena and a rewatch of Pinky and the Brain and both were so much better than I remembered that I decided my entire childhood was worth ruining for a the few pearls of proof that it was possible for […]

Siege on Clicks ‘Publish’, backs off slowly.That’s a great one, too! And yes, same 😁 Sent from Rosenkrantz, because Guildenstern is dead. (Sent from my iPhone)
narfna on Clicks ‘Publish’, backs off slowly.I have read that! I also like "The Bang and the Clatter" by that same author; it's a baseball AU. There are a couple of...
andtheIToldYouSos on A Gut-Churning Good TimeI recommend the audio book; the narrator is having a very good time with some very gross stuff!
cosbrarian on A Gut-Churning Good TimeI BELIEVE YOU. It's like, I want to read it? But also? Probably not? But maybe? Putting on the possible TBR.
