As Good as New by Charlie Jane Anders

The Cartography of Sudden Death by Charlie Jane Anders

Six Months Three Days by Charlie Jane Anders

by Leave a Comment

Three shorts by Charlie Jane Anders, all audiobooks bought pretty cheaply on Audible (1 or 2 each) and all about various kinds of what-ifs regarding the space-time continuum. All of which goes pretty hand in hand with the fact that I woke up at 2am the other night and couldn’t get back to sleep and bingewatched the first season of “Future Man” which I honestly can’t recommend enough. That said! As Good as New This story begins with a young playwright/med student in year two […]

The Indifferent Stars Above by Daniel James Brown I don’t know how much the rest of America/the world learns about the Donner Party in school but for me, growing up in Northern California, it was local history and something that was taught to us in the fourth grade, probably right after we did the mission project.

And another thing, I couldn’t even finish this book

Not long ago on Facebook, someone posed the question, “When do you give up on a book and stop reading?” I thought about this and determined that, if I look at how many pages I have left in a book and I’m actively dreading it, that’s when I quit. I had 188 pages left in And Another Thing when I just couldn’t stand it anymore. God knows I don’t quit a book likely. I’ve slogged through my share of banality and dreck just to give […]

Now and Again

Alice Payne Arrives by Kate Heartfield

by Leave a Comment

3.5 stars In which giving people the ability to time travel goes as well as you would expect. Alice Payne is a highway-person in 1788, using her girlfriend’s clockwork robot to assist in her robberies.  Meanwhile, Prudence Zuniga is in 1889, trying to stop the first in a series of events that will lead to a War across time and history. It is not going well. Every time she interferes, the events in history play out anyway. She clearly is getting more desperate, and seems […]
