Goodreads summary: “Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland–known as The Death Shop–are slim. If the cannibals don’t get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She’s been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry.

Baby Jesus Butt Plug
Yeah… Well… This book exists. As I was browsing through my favorite online bookshop I noticed this little gem of a title. After I giggled about it for a few minutes, I promptly forgot it existed. Luckily I received the book for Christmas, as proof that my friends do indeed know me well. To answer your question, yes, the book is about baby Jesus butt-plugs, which is apparently also a legit sex toy. The plot involves a couple buying baby Jesus and despite it […]
The Jupiter War – hard to care
The Jupiter War is the Third part and the conclusion of “The Owner Trilogy” Series by Neal Asher. I normally adore Neal Asher’s writing – his Ian Cormac Series, the Skinner series, anything with Sniper the War Drone – let me throw my money at him. But I had a hard time with this series. The meta plot: some time in the future- Earth is over populated, the planet’s resources are taxed and a large majority of the people are “zero assets” meaning that […]
Emily Blunt was a better Full Metal Bitch.
Last month, I finally saw the film Edge of Tomorrow and loved it. I was initially very reluctant to throw my money at Tom Cruise, because…Tom Cruise. And yet I really wanted to see it, because of this lady. Well done, John Krasinski. When I heard that this fantastic film was based on a book, All You Need Is Kill, I was intrigued and promptly put in a request through my library. In short: Keiji Kiriya is a humble foot soldier fighting a seemingly invincible […]
Potatoes in Space: The Perfect Book for your Inner Astronaut
(I bought this because of alibaba77’s review.) This is a great book. If you’re at all into astronomy, stargazing, astronauts, science, or good books, you should read it. Mark Watney, our hero, is MacGyver on Mars. His Mars mission crew colleagues presumed him dead after an accident in a Martian storm. He has to figure out how to survive until the next Mars mission or until NASA figures out a way to save him sooner. He’s got a few potatoes, some duct tape, and a […]
A Time Traveler’s Homage to Jerome K. Jerome
If you are a fan of Jerome K. Jerome’s Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) or PG Wodehouse’s Jeeves novels, this novel is sure to please. Willis is a well known and “decorated” sci-fi author, having won multiple Nebula and Hugo Awards. She discovered JKJ through reading Robert Heinlein and gives him a tip of the hat in an amusing, clever and thoughtful work that combines time travel, mystery, and comedy of manners. It’s 2057 London and Ned Henry, an […]
