Solutions and Other Problems by Allie Brosh

by Leave a Comment

Allie Brosh is extremely talented, both in her writing and in her at times deceptively simple drawings. I stumbled upon her blog I don’t know how many years ago but never got around to buying her first book (a fact that as of about an hour ago I’ve rectified). Because I haven’t read that and it’s been a while since I’ve looked at her blog, I can’t  compare her two books the way some other cannonballers have. By itself, Solutions and Other Problems is entertaining […]

The Dragonblood Saga

Dragonsoul by Justin DePaoli

Dragonspawn by Justin DePaoli

Dragonborn by Justin DePaoli

by Leave a Comment

This trilogy follows several citizens from the land of Vancorous. The primary focus of the first book is Valeria, who finds a dragon egg, which sets off the chain of events for the rest of the series. There has been peace between the people of Vancorous and dragons for 300 years, and the finding and hatching of a dragon egg that the dragons had thought destroyed upended the peace. It is up to Valeria and Tibor, a new friend and eventual lover, to travel to […]

Catching Up

Matchmaking for Beginners by Maddie Dawson

Nothing Is Okay by Rachel Wiley

by 2 Comments

Whoops. Apparently my CBR 12 goal was 26 books, not 13. Two reviews here, and then we’ll see if it’s possible for me to read 2 more books and review them over the next week. Nothing Is Okay by Rachel Wiley is a book of poetry that I initially hadn’t planned to review because I don’t really know how to review a poetry book. But I’ll give it my best shot. Wiley is a fat, queer, woman of color, and she is unabashedly all of […]

Running Way Behind on Bingo

Becoming by Michelle Obama

Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi

by Leave a Comment

CBR12 Bingo: Uncannon (Becoming) and Reader’s Choice as a replacement for Yellow (Emergency Contact) Who knows? If I get around to finishing the book I have on the song “Hallelujah,” I might actually finish a Bingo line. Anyway, on to the reviews. I read these books long enough ago that I have forgotten a lot about them and what my thoughts were about them, but I’ll try my best. Atthough, when it comes to Becoming, I’m sure plenty of other reviewers have said it better. […]

I Don’t Care What Anyone Says, This Is Not a Romantic Comedy

You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle

by Leave a Comment

CBR 12 Bingo: Debut I’m still on my kick of wanting to read witty, contemporary romance, but honestly I’m starting to wonder if I have the same definition of “witty” or “funny” as other people. Just like The Hating Game and Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, reviewers describe Sarah Hogle’s debut novel You Deserve Each Other as witty, funny, laugh-out-loud, etc. The thing is, witty banter and teasing, or even teasing that goes a little too far, are very different from being mean, and Naomi […]
