Sticking it to Cancer One Book at a Time

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 […]

Like punching Bambi in the face

There’s This Guy by Rhys Ford

by 1 Comment

We were sent an ARC of this book. The author wrote, and I quote: Well, keep in mind, another author said “Well, this is sweet for YOU.” *grins*. Cool! How bad could it be? Patty: So, there’s this author… she loves to give her characters a HEA but not before she skins them alive, pours gasoline on them, and reaches into her pocket for a lighter. Katie: I’m not sure how, exactly, but at some point Rhys Ford added PattyKates to her list of ARC recipients. I’m extremely grateful that such a gifted author has seen fit to do so, […]

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end

Dirty: A Dive Bar Novel by Kylie Scott

by 3 Comments

Soundtrack for today’s review:   https://youtu.be/xGytDsqkQY8 Katie: Patty and her messages about books make me justifiably wary. I mean, that’s how we started down the Kristen Ashley road or the book where they played escape and evade as foreplay. (I now think of it as the raisin sex book because of Patty’s metaphor.) So when she sent me a message that she was sending me a book that was amusing and refreshing, you can imagine my terror. Patty: SUCH a drama queen. Katie: Honestly, this book has a little bit of every romance trope known to man except for any […]
