Sticking it to Cancer One Book at a Time

Blurred Lines and Sharp Twists

When Life Happened by Jewel E. Ann

by 11 Comments

You always know what to expect – especially when reading romance novels – until suddenly you don’t. Kinda like life: it just happens. It’s messy and funny and absurd and surreal but never, not for one second, can you ever really be sure of what’s going to happen next. Our heroine, Parker, has to move home after a two year peacing-out which happened after her sister’s wedding. The same sister – twin sister, no less – who Parker caught doing the dirty with Parker’s boyfriend and who ended up marrying said boyfriend. Suffice it to say, Parker is a wee […]

So much more than that girl standing on the subway grate

Unfinished: A Graphic Novel of Marilyn Monroe by Elizabeth Periale

by 2 Comments

I was offered an advance copy of UNFINISHED: A Graphic Novel of Marilyn Monroe by Elizabeth Periale in exchange for a timely and fair review. Y’ALL. THIS THING IS FUCKING GORGEOUS. Why did we as adults give up one of the best parts of books? The illustration for goodness sake. I mean, how could it not be considering that its subject matter is one of the iconic beauties of the 20th Century? It’s more than that though. You can tell that a great deal of care was taken in developing the look of this book. Color palette, different type fonts […]

The Oasis – where I’ve got friends in low places

Genesis - Part VI: Ch 23-26 by God. Obviously. With a little help from his friends in low places

by 2 Comments

Previously on Supernatural…. Ishmael and Abraham’s baby mama are kicked to the desert curb because Sarah has ISSUES and God pranks Abraham with the old “sacrifice your son” gag then promises more descendants ruling over everything forever. This week… Patty: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. Sarah finally bites it at the ripe old age of 127. Good riddance, I say. Abraham needs a place to bury his wife, so most of Ch 23 is all: Abraham: Let me pay you for the land to bury my wife. Ephron: No, I couldn’t. Just bury your wife on my land. Abraham: […]

Mothers and Fathers and Sons

Genesis Part V: Ch 21-22 by God

by 4 Comments

Previously on Supernatural… Attempted rape, attempted sexual assault bait-and-switch, the destruction of two cities, a spouse gets turned into table salt, incest, and a lot of PattyKates screaming. Let’s see what the Creator has in store for us this week… God makes good on his promise to Sarah and gets her knocked up. The bouncing baby boy is named Isaac (“laughter” which, as an aside, is an awesome name) and Sarah, true to form, is all CHECK IT BITCHES! I GOT ME A BABY FROM GOD. The kid is circumcised and eventually weaned, at which point Abraham – ever the […]

Putting the F in WT

Genesis part IV, Ch. 19-20 by Moses

by Leave a Comment

Previously on Supernatural… God and two of his homies visited Abraham, wanting the scoop on the freak show also known as Vegas Sodom. God’s buddies went to check it out and that brings us to today, and to why PattyKates cannot stop screaming. Patty: I work with a guy named Jeff. He’s super smart and unnaturally patient, namely when I call him and hysterically rant about something either not working or something I have rendered unworkable. He calmly talks the stupid out of me, fixes my issue and we go about our day. Today I will try to channel The Jeff […]

Stupid is as Stupid Does

Genesis part III, Ch. 11-18 by Children of the Covenant

by 8 Comments

Katie: Before we get started with today’s installment, I’d like to introduce you to Candace. We were friends in middle school, we lost touch after I moved away, et voila! Behold! The miracle of Facebook restored our friendship after 20 years. She’s wicked smaht, and has advanced degrees that involved her teaching a class on Buffy at Stanford. You know, our kind of people. She’s going to be joining us for our Bible related installments. Candace: *smile, waves* FYI, I’ll be reading along in The Jewish Study Bible: Featuring The Jewish Publication Society TANAKH Translation. Thanks for having me! Katie: […]

It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

Genesis part II - chapters 6-10 by Moses

by 9 Comments

Previously on Supernatural… God created some stuff and decided it was good. Two fools did something they were explicitly told not to do and that led to a population explosion (see: begatting). Now all these people are running around being, well, people, and God is up to HERE with their antics. It was all sex, drugs and rock n’ roll, 24/7; like a Sig Ep house in the 80’s. There was crime, depravity, and general wickedness all up on earth. Women were having sex with evil giants – these were beings from the spirit world, not the NY Knicks – […]

The Big Bang

Genesis - Part I, Chapters1-5 by Open to interpretation

by 16 Comments

Previously on Supernatural…            Katie: It’s 9:45 p.m. my time when I check my phone and see a series of messages from Patty demanding my immediate attention. Like 10 of them. Since I had spoken with her for 45 minutes earlier in the evening, I decided this deserved another phone call since she was obviously still awake. Patty: I WILL NOT BE IGNORED. Katie: I call her, and that’s when I hear excited yankee babbling with a hint of Colombian, “I want you to keep an open mind.  Keep an open mind, okay?” I knew that whatever came next would be […]
