Not Pounded By Anything: Six Tales of Non-Sexual Encounters by Chuck Tingle
I participate in CBR because f*ck cancer. I read, I write, I knit, I bake, I sew, and I verb. Because verbing weirds language. And also because "Verb! That's where the action is." (Learn more about this Cannonballer: sistercoyote's Quick Questions interview.)

Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James
I was keenly intrigued upon reading both the Pajiba post about this one and I think also possibly Big Idea on Scalzi’s website but I’m not certain about that. I just know I saw a fair amount of press and was very interested in reading James’ take on an epic fantasy world beginning from an African perspective. “Children cannot help how they are born, they had no choice in it. Choosing to be a fool, though . . .” (Kindle loc 1020) Unfortunately, I am […]
A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
I read this for the first time a few years back*, in between books of “The Men who Hate Women”. Also, oddly enough, I finished it while we were on our way to This is the Place. (Please don’t ask me to explain This is the Place. You either know or you don’t: suffice to say that there is a tie-in to A Study in Scarlet, however loose).

In addition to working as a waitress at a strip club, subletting semi-legally, preparing for a dance competition, and generally trying to keep a roof over her head (and those of her colony of Aeslin Mice), she’s also responsible for keeping tabs on New York’s cryptid population. Which doesn’t leave her much, if any, time for dating.
Pirates Don't Go to Kindergarten by Lisa Robinson
I have no idea how to write a review of a book when the number of words required in the review are longer than the number of words in the book itself…
The F*ck It Diet: Eating Should be Easy by Caroline Dooner
Two notes: First, I’m not interested in having the “fat = unhealthy” argument in the comments. BTDT. If you’re the type of person “worried” about fat people’s health, I know. Keep it to yourself, kthx. Second, this is apparently the year of reading books that heavily feature “the F-word” and I swear there was a book out there somewhere about that word in particular that I should probably find, buy, and close the year out by reviewing. (And now, some filler to keep […]
