PattyKates's Reviews:

Never Gonna Give You Up – it’s destiny, after all

May 5, 2015 by PattyKates 5 Comments

Katie: Oh, gentle reader… Phatty has found a treat for us this time. The Sword by Jean Johnson reads like Lord of the Rings romantic fanfic written by someone who hasn’t actually read a well-written romance novel. Think better than E.L. James in that someone is concerned about grammar and spelling, but then they forgot to fix the excessive use of exclamation points. Actually, it reminds me a good bit of Dara Joy now that I think about it. Anyone else read Rejar or Knight […]

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1boUYB9LFJY&w=560&h=315] Katie: Okay, lemme just start out by saying that I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how good the Hellsinger series has been so far. They have terrible titles, but that isn’t the fault of the books. Rhys Ford, please, for the love of a good book, ask if you need help with titles. You can leave a comment below or find me on Twitter. Patty: Yeah, the first one was OK: Fish and Ghosts, a play on fish and guests and the whole three […]

“This could be heaven, or this could be hell…” This week’s review is brought to you Don Henley’s righteous white man’s afro. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSvSsNSuVtk&w=420&h=315] Katie: This may come as a surprise to some of you, but I believe in ghosts, so it’s kind of ironic (or something, anyway) that this week’s selection is about a “Ghostbuster” named Wolf Hellsinger and a children’s book author/illustrator named Tristan Pryce who sees dead people. After all, my middle school looks like it should be haunted, I grew up […]

    Oh,what? How cool! Seems like there were just little pockets of Frenchness in this Anglo-Indian world. Who knew.
