November 5, 2019 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

If you get to know [people] a little better and work up a degree of human warmth toward them, you can judge them without the influence and control of unseen forces. — Kindle location 1081

Jewish, Immigrant(s, they get the job done) (Bingo: Own Voices)

The Fever King by Victoria Lee

October 29, 2019 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

The US has been ravaged by war and disease (and war over disease) and Noam Álvaro is sixteen and the child of Atlantean (Georgia, that is, not Atlantis) illegal immigrants to Carolina who is involved in the Atlantean Rights movement — until he, too, falls sick with the Fever. Unlike most of the population, however, Noam survives — and wakes up a technomancer, with the ability to talk to computer systems and all manner of technology. And then things get worse.

Not just a [Lady], but a Scientist (Bingo: Science!)

A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent by Marie Brennan

September 25, 2019 by sistercoyote 3 Comments

Brennan’s world of dragons and Scirlandish nobility and the Fish Out of Water trope is worth reading, but I don’t think I, personally will bother reading the second unless I get very bored. I think my biggest issue is (pseudo)Victorian fatigue.

So many bad tropes (Bingo: Youths!)

Dragon Called (Deadweed Dragons, Book 1) by Ava Richardson

September 5, 2019 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

If the dragons from this book call you, reject the call and change your number. Actually, that’s not entirely fair. The dragons, from what I read, were fine. It was everything else that needed a lot of work. I gave up on page 139, read the last three or four pages (kind of like I did with Jane Eyre in high school, tbh) and tossed this on the “read” virtual shelf. It needs a good line editor for a start.

If You go into The Hazel Woods Today… (Bingo: Travel square)

The Hazel Wood: A Novel by Melissa Albert

September 5, 2019 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

When Alice was born, her eyes were black from end to end, and the midwife didn’t stay long enough to wash her. (Kindle loc. 221) My mother was raised on fairy tales, but I was raised on highways. (loc. 37) Holy cats, you guys. This book and my reaction to it are probably going to fall down around my ears like a pack of playing cards or a straw house, but for the moment I am in love.

Going the Distance (Bingo “Far and Away”)

Jade City (The Green Bone Saga Book 1) by Fonda Lee

September 3, 2019 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

Summer had barely begun and already the city of Janloon was like a spent lover–sticky and fragrant. (Kindle loc. 125) And with that line, Fonda Lee’s book grabbed me at the end of the first paragraph and didn’t let go.

  • esmemoria on The Season of Soft Bois Begins.As an ex-New Yorker, I heard Toronto's bagels can give NY ones a run for their money!
  • Emmalita on The Season of Soft Bois Begins.Jackie Lau is open about living with treatment resistant depression. She has a few books with characters who live with chronic depression. I warn you...
  • esmemoria on The Season of Soft Bois Begins.This sounds like such a nice book. I'm interested in a romance that weaves in hard things like depression with caring acceptance.
  • esmemoria on “Evil never goes unpunished…but the punishment is sometimes secret.”I just read Ackroyd, knowing the ending because it had been spoiled by a book I read (augh) but it was really fun to read...
