Death in the Cards (The Dizon Detective Agency) by Mia Manansala

by Leave a Comment

Teen me would have loved the novel Death in the Cards (The Dizon Detective Agency) by Mia Manansala. Okay, it was a romance, and I never was “into” those types of books, but I would have focused on the mystery elements and have that as a necessary to move the story along. Now, I look at this modern teen romance, mystery and a little humor novel and realize it is not really “my thing” but I wasn’t really disliking it. The basic idea is a […]

It’s been four months since the night of gore, chaos, and the failed demonic summoning…but wait! There is more!

The Night Eaters V02 Her Little Reapers. by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda

Ages ago I read The Night Eaters #1: She Eats the Night by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda. The horror books of horror graphic novels. I mean, EEEEWWW OMG what was I thinking? Blood, gore, houses eating people…. Yet, Yup. I (mostly) liked it. Enough to say: I guess I’ll try volume two, The Night Eaters: Her Little Reapers. But I didn’t get to it for several years actually. So many in fact, I forgot what the ham-hocks was going on. Which is partly okay […]

V for Vendetta by Alan Morre, David Lloyd and DC Comics

by Leave a Comment

There is always a book that draws me in; wanting me to read it; teasing me; laughing at me because it knows I will never take the leap out of my comfort zone and plunge in. And V for Vendetta was one of those books. My excuses for not reading? Too long, too dark, too old school, too popular, what a dull and boring (and a little off putting) cover. My excuse for finally picking it up to read? Nothing more than there was a […]

Have you ever gotten hooked on a series that was a couple thousand pages each book? Well, thankfully the Spirited series might be a couple hundred for all six books but you will most likely (or your child more likely) become hooked.

Oh, yeah, […]

The Lottery by Shirley Jackson

by 1 Comment

Every year, the small nameless village holds a lottery; they’ve done so for as long as anyone can remember, and it is well known that the results always help the harvest. Sure, there’s word that nearby villages are discontinuing the practice, but not here. It’s for the harvest you see, and the village, and it’s a very festive kind of day; heck, even the children get involved, piling up stones into neat little piles…. There is a reason that to this day, “The Lottery” is […]

Sundial by Catriona Ward

Sundial by Catriona Ward

Trigger warning: Animal abuse Sorry. I did not like this one. I get that it has some fans, but it had me going WTF through most of it and it was so damn slow until the 50 percent mark. I think it took way too long to start to tie the threads of the book together and way too long for the explanation of Rob and her marriage to Irving. I just in the end was glad to put this one down. Sundial follows wife […]
