When I get bored, I look for trouble. And since I have no idea what trouble looks like, I usually find a book, or five books. Granted, none are more than a 150-200 pages each. Just quick young graphic novels that were not really “that young” with some mature themes, issues and images going on. In Supergirl Adventures: Girl of Steel we are introduce to Kara (aka Supergirl) from a young girl on her home planet, to the day Krypton was destroyed and the sister […]

Other Birds

Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen

by 5 Comments

Such a shame. I have been waiting on a new Sarah Addison Allen book for years. I absolutely love her older books and this one just didn’t do it for me. Somehow in her other books she’s always been able to transport me to a fictional town where it seemed magic leaked around the edges. Instead this book seems to be missing that. Maybe because the grief in these pages just crowded out everything else. And I think that due to that I wasn’t able […]

Amongst Our Weapons

Amongst Our Weapons by Ben Aaronovitch

I think it’s time for me to put a pin in this series. I haven’t enjoyed it for a while now and the book seems to be signaling some characters are going to be gone in a few. I just have zero interest to keep reading about Peter and Beverly and everything else going on in London that mere mortals don’t know about anymore. It’s not a bad book, just a very boring one. It goes on forever it feels like. And we still have […]

The books are all part of a series- or rather two series that are connected. They are responsible for me creating my account on Amazon, back in the day, so there are some fond memories.  I started reading the series at the library, but they didn’t have all the books, so I had to order from Amazon.  Later, I bought them again when I was in Australia, and now I have Kindle versions.  So, I liked them. Now, there are issues… The print covers are […]

“There’s no such thing as living happily ever after — there’s only living.”

Hunted by Meagan Spooner

Let’s retell Beauty and the Beast, but make it Russian. Yeva is Beauty. She’s the youngest of three daughters, and the favorite. She would much rather be out in the woods hunting with her father than playing lady’s maid at the palace. But alas, her father is a merchant now, not a hunter, and so everyone lives in town and Acts Civilized. Until, of course, her father loses everything on a bad investment, and the family is forced to pack up and move to their […]
