A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing

The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack by Mark Hodder

by Leave a Comment

This book has many of the things I love: Steampunk, electricity, Spring-heeled Jack, werewolves, a mystery, time-travel affecting the present, and the implication of liminal space. It also has a glowing recommendation from Michael Moorcock on the back. Note to self: Do not buy any other book Michael Moorcock likes.

Without Darkness, how could we recognize the light?

The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms (Inheritance Trilogy #1) by N.K. Jemisin

by 7 Comments

I received this book in 2015. The fact that I haven’t read it until now says far more about the depth of my “to be read” pile than it does the quality of this novel. I promise you that.

The More Things Change & The Weird Wild West

How to Suppress Women's Writing by Joanna Russ

Silver on the Road by Laura Anne Gilman

by Leave a Comment

The last two-book review I wrote was compare and contrast, because the material in each book related to the other book. This time, not so much: one is non-fiction, and one is fiction, and without performing some mental calisthenics at a level I’m not willing to do right now I don’t think I could write a unified review.

The Life-changing Magic of having a Less F-ed Up Habitat

The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondō

Unf*ck Your Habitat: You're Better than Your Mess by Rachel Hoffman

by 2 Comments

As with so many other things, I’m reviewing a thing long after it got popular, and yet this time, at least, I’m managing to be at least a little bit on-trend, so go me?

I have no heart; I hate the song Jolene (thanks, fam.)

Dumplin' by Julie Murphy

I really rather wish this book had been written back when I was in my late teens, so the girl-I-was could have been reassured that she wasn’t alone.

Demons, and the Devil — Book Exchange!

Silver on the Road by Laura Anne Gilman

by 3 Comments

Came home to a nice package in my mailbox, and these two lovely gifts from Malin! I might already have started reading Silver in the Road last night before deciding I should put it away so I could, you know. Sleep. And the Picture of Dorian Grey is probably my favorite thing Oscar Wilde wrote, so Creatures of Will and Temper looks to be an interesting re-imagining. Thank you, Malin!

I would have done it, too, if it weren’t for…

Meddling Kids: A Novel by Edgar Cantero

by 1 Comment

The What If of this book can be summed up as: What if Mystery, Inc., had actually tangled with chthonic beasts and didn’t realize it until their mid-twenties? What I thought of Meddling Kids? Well, that’s a bit of a mystery, too.
