I'm a Pajiaban. I like reading. A LOT. My fiancé weirdly agreed to move in with me even after he found out I come with over 600 books. This seemed like a natural next step.

Hey Ladies! – A Very Specific Type of Book That Tickles Me Endlessly

Hey Ladies! by Michelle Markowitz and Caroline Moss

by 2 Comments

Once upon a time in the endless history of the internet, there was a website called The Toast. While content is no longer posted, the archives remain and I heartily encourage everyone to go through them. The Toast was for women and librarians. I once bought a tote bag from them that had a mermaid with a back tattoo that said “misogynist.” One of the rally cries of the site was “Take to the Sea” for every woman who was just done with everything. One […]

The Wrong Family- Holy Wrote Myself Into A Corner Batman!

The Wrong Family by Taryn Fisher

by Leave a Comment

Welcome back to another episode of Natteringwithpride reads tawdry domestic thrillers! Today’s candidate is called The Wrong Family. The book cover has a white picket fence on it, so you know we’re about to get some suburbia dysfunctional goodness. Have you ever been wrong about someone? Juno was wrong about Winnie Crouch. Before moving in with the Crouch family, Juno thought Winnie and her husband, Nigel, had the perfect marriage, the perfect son — the perfect life. Only now that she’s living in their beautiful […]

Siege and Storm- Oh My Lord the Love Interests SUUUCK

Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo

by 1 Comment

I read the first Grisha book a couple years back, thought it was okay and stopped reading any of them. But then Bardugo wrote Ninth House- her first adult novel. I devoured it and am still eagerly chomping at the bit for a sequel (Oh Lord please, I’ve been….mediocre….please let that be enough to get us a sequel). I figured, since I liked that so much and the Grisha series is so popular, maybe I should give it another try. I think the key to […]

The Relentless Moon- Otherwise Known As I Totally Get Why This Series Keeps Getting Nominated for Hugos

The Relentless Moon by Mary Robinette Kowal

by Leave a Comment

The Lady Astronaut series is based around a very simple concept- Shortly after President Thomas Dewey leads the United States to victory in the space race in 1952, a meteorite strikes the Chesapeake Bay, obliterating most of the Eastern Seaboard. In the aftermath, mathematician and former WASP pilot Elma York calculates that the resulting climate change will make the planet uninhabitable within 50 years. This threat accelerates efforts to colonize space and leads to Elma joining the International Aerospace Coalition in its attempt to reach, first the Moon, then Mars. The rest of the series is about […]

Calculated Risks- Seanan McGuire Does It Again (I love everything she writes and seriously doubt I will ever write a negative review about one of her books. #biased)

Calculated Risks by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

I’ve got another Seanan McGuire for y’all. This one is the latest installment of her Incryptid series. The basic premise of the Incryptid books is- what if all the urban legends and myths about creatures and magic were real? What if there was an entire cryptid community living under the noses of humanity? And what if there was an order devoted to wiping those creatures out- sentient or no, peaceful or no? And what if a family broke away from that order and devoted themselves […]
