Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time


All this gore and good for her friendship just warmed my lil heart. (The cats helped.)

Dead Weight by Hildur Knútsdóttir, translated by Mary Robinette Kowal

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. I was sitting here thinking about how I should rate this, and I just really, really enjoyed myself, so I’m rounding this 4.5 star book up to five. Perhaps it is because there are two cats in here and one of them is a black one, and perhaps it is because of the ending, but regardless, I’m doing it, and I have no regrets. I liked the first […]

Strange Buildings by Uketsu

Strange Buildings by Uketsu

by Leave a Comment

Trigger warning: Not shown, but told about child rape. This took me weeks to get through. Unlike the other books, I did not fly through this. This ended up being so convoluted and just not enjoyable even after the reveals. I think that Uketsu focusing on several buildings/stories in this one, just took away the appeal that had me loving the first two books out there. It just felt like a lot of the reveals/endings to some of the buildings didn’t make a lot of […]

Salome by Leslie Baird

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. DID NOT FINISH AT 20 PERCENT. This was put out there as a Gothic retelling of Salome (If you have read the King James Bible, Salome is Herodias’s daughter and she danced before Herod at his birthday celebration. He was so happy with her dancing he told her that she could ask for anything in return. She speaks to her mother and then asks for the head of […]

Make Me Better by Sarah Gailey

Make Me Better by Sarah Gailey

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. DID NOT FINISH 12 PERCENT. This was too slow. I don’t even know what to say. The only Sarah Gailey book I have liked and managed to finish was Just Like Home. And that was slow as anything too. I have tried multiple times since last year to finish The Echo Wife and now this was just too much too. I just wish that the plot had moved a lot faster […]

Hunger by Choi Jin-young

Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. DID NOT FINISH AT 20 percent. I tried to get into this and just gave up. I think it’s just because the story itself which sounded interesting (your soulmate dies [Gu], you eat them [Dam]) just ended up not really being what I was being sold which said this was a horror novel. And the portion I finished didn’t read as horror. If anything it just read as sad. […]

Three extremely different books about space

Otherworldly by Dwain Worrell

Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

by 1 Comment

I’m being lazy and combining these three VERY DIFFERENT BOOKS because Space! I read Otherworldly and Project Hail Mary as ebooks, and Atmosphere as an audiobook. Otherworldly first! So, one of my favorite book genres is space horror. My list of fears (to read or watch a movie / TV show about) is not very long. Deep down in the ocean scares me to bits, and so does outer space. I think they’re similar in that once you’re there, you’re at the mercy of however […]
