Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time

The Disney Characters in the image have nothing to do with the book, I was bored.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara and the Pirates’ Silver by Faith Erin Hicks

by Leave a Comment

All you need to know is that Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara and the Pirates’ Silver is about Katara and pirates. And it is created by Faith Erin Hicks, Peter Wartman and Adele Matera. But if you need more, our Avatar and his friends Sokka and Toph have a side story, that deals with a Fire Nation/Fire Bender Solider. This man, of course, believes the lies the nation has created about the Air Benders. And Ang takes it upon himself to try and change his […]

I know it is 298 days until Halloween but this is a year-round Treat!

The Ghosts Went Floating by Kim Norman

by Leave a Comment

I am going to say it. I am not ashamed. I almost peed myself laughing at The Ghosts Went Floating. I thought my coworkers would come into the office and think that I had officially finally lost it for good this time. But I did not care! I would just have told them that Kim Norman is a genius! Norman took “The Ants go Marching” song and gave it the most awesome of awesome twists: put that tune to a Halloween theme. I have seen […]

The perfect book for a new year

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

by 5 Comments

First off, apologies I fell off the grid last year but my one and only New Year’s resolution was to get back to writing these reviews for the books I read. I really appreciate this community and the thoughtful conversations about books, plus the reviews give me my own personal cliff notes on everything I read. But y’all, I’m back with a banger. I almost worry that nothing else I read in 2021 will be up to the same standard as The House In The Cerulean […]

TikTok made me read it!

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

by 2 Comments

For my first read of the year, I started with Dark Matter – a book I’d seen reviewed a lot on social media.  This book was part science fiction and part thriller.  It fully succeed in either genre but I still felt it was still an interesting premise and a good book overall. Its hard to explain the complex storyline without giving away the spoilers.  Its the journey of what would happen if you could go back and see what your life was like if you’d […]

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

by 11 Comments

I picked this book as my first read of 2021 because I was honestly being cutesy and thought it was low-key funny to read a book with this title on January 1st. I have actually been avoiding this book, and it was so weird in my brain that I was doing that, because I love portal fantasies, and this is a portal fantasy and it’s got great reviews, so I should read it! Maybe I thought there were enough portal fantasies and what could one […]

Storm Front by Jim Butcher

by 4 Comments

Have you ever been approached by a grim-looking man, carrying a naked sword with a blade about ten miles long in his hand, in the middle of the night beneath the stars on the shores of Lake Michigan? Until very recently my answer was a “definitely not”. Now, thanks to crystalclear for sending this book my way during the 2020 Book Exchange, my answer has changed: YES! By proxy, at least. I have been acquainted with the big swordy fella and many other weirds that […]
