“I am sick of roses, and I am horny for revenge”

Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

by 6 Comments

This review has been a long time in coming. I borrowed Harrow the Ninth on Libby back in February and made it 60 percent of the way through before the app stole it back (one advantage of physical books is that you can keep them way past their due date and just pay them back later, instead of the library yoinking them away through your phone). After two and a half agonizing months on the waiting list, I finally got it back last week and […]

Hello and welcome to the Galactic Peacekeepers Society…… We come in peace

Ami Moon and the Galactic Peacekeepers: Book One Volume 1 by Frances Lee

by Leave a Comment

The powers that be do not want me to write a review for Ami Moon and the Galactic Peacekeepers: Book One Volume 1 by Frances Lee. I had a long review typed out,  when I went to post, I hit something and the entire thing was erased. I then tried multiple times to restart it and it kept screwing up. I finally got it into a document and then couldn’t remember what I wanted to say/what I had said!. Wracking my brain, I came up […]

A delightful scifi Sherlock retelling with aliens and disability rep.

A Study in Black Brew by Marie Howalt

by Leave a Comment

They say life is a string of chances held together with grit and guided by passion, and who am I to disagree? If you are looking for a retelling to read on Sherlock Holmes Day (May 22), I would recommend Marie Howalt’s A Study in Black Brew. It’s a scifi setting, on a queer-normative world with multiple species. The plot is pretty straightforward as a retelling of A Study in Scarlett (except no dogs, or helpless pets are killed), but Howalt has made choices that […]

“There’s some cursing. A lot. It’s kind of impressive.”

Full Speed to a Crash Landing by Beth Revis

by 1 Comment

To begin at the end, when I finished this novella, I immediately put in requests at the library for the second and third books in the Chaotic Orbits series because I enjoyed it that much and was very interested to see where the story would go next.   If I were to start at the beginning, I would tell you that following my enjoyment of Olivia Waite’s Murder by Memory I went on the hunt for books with a similar space mystery vibe because I […]

Quest for courage

Hupo and the Wonder Thief by Billy Partridge

by Leave a Comment

I enjoyed the book Hupo and the Wonder Thief by Billy Partridge. There is something about this dog-like critter (they say they are a dog-rabbit combo) and his quirky personality. Now, to boil it down, he is a lot. And I mean a lot. He might be physically smaller in size, but there is a big amount of wonder that fills him. He loves learning, exploring, being himself and sharing that with others. However, the city he lives in is not the most open to […]

My comfort read

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 10, Vol. 2 by Jeremy Whitley

by Leave a Comment

As a reader, especially one that specializes in children’s and young adult reads, I like to think I mix my genres up, or at least my subjects. I know I have been on a graphic novel kick for several years now, but they come in all shapes and sizes and subjects so I can find almost anything I am in the mood for. And ages ago I found a My Little Pony (contemporary) collection of several stories. It was My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic […]
