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.
Three quarters of the way through I finally “got” why cheese was so prominent in this book
In February 2016 two authors, Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne, were stuck in an airport and decided it was time to kill the proverbial farm boy. Specifically, it was time to make fun of white male power fantasies that typically involve a boy being destined for greater than his humble beginnings because he is somehow special, and all the tropes that often accompany those stories. And so they wrote Kill the Farm Boy. The elements are all familiar; there is a chosen one, a talking […]
Faerie Tale Noir Still Going Strong
‘Night and Silence’ is the twelfth book in the October Daye series, and I’m going to be clear up front – while I will try as hard as possible avoid around any explicit spoilers from this particular book, I will be referencing previous books in the series. I am not so super-skilled at review-ballet that I can cunningly dance around everything. So mild spoilers ahead. The October Daye series has been going strong for a few years now, and I felt that the 11th […]
Ebeneza Petty and the Toxic Masculinity (With Spoilers)
I listened to the audio version of this narrated by Euan Morton, who is playing King George in Hamilton currently. I really enjoyed it. The night after I finished the book, I was having a tough time falling asleep so I started listening to Carry On again. Now I am addicted to falling asleep to Carry On. I don’t know what this says about me as a person or about the book.
If You Could Go Anywhere, Any When …
Bingo Square: Listicles I had actually seen this novel on at least one Book Riot list, and downloaded it a while back since it was part of Kindle Unlimited but it wasn’t going to be my original selection for Listicles. I played with making it “And So It Begins” but read another book that fit that category first. Still, I wanted to include this novel somehow (especially since I liked the idea of having three pirate related novels on my Bingo card), and when I […]
What do you do with a girl like Akaraka?
A Kiss For Akaraka is actually a 4.5. This is due to the fact that the only real complaint I have is the name of the character is a little hard to pronounce (even with the father helping, it does not happen until the middle of the story). However, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the illustrations of E.B. Goodale. The ones that have Akaraka in them especially are probably the best as her form is very unique each time and is fluid. She always has a […]
