“Sexuality is complicated. It’s not static. People change and sexuality can change too.”

Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail (Bright Falls, #2) by Ashley Herring Blake

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC. It hasn't affected the contents of my review. This was a teeny bit of a disappointment for me after having loved Delilah Green Doesn't Care so much, but it was still good! Just not a favorite. We're following Delilah's Type-A sister, Astrid, and … [Read more]

Yes, the title means they are stoned.

High Times in the Low Parliament by Kelly Robson

by Leave a Comment

Thanks to NetGalley and Recorded Books for the ARC. It hasn't affected the content of my review. This is genuinely one of the weirdest books I've ever read. It has a lot of flaws baked in. The worldbuilding is there but never explained, there is so much going on that none of it really fully … [Read more]

“Never fear quarrels, but seek hazardous adventures.”

The Three Musketeers (The d'Artagnan Romances, #1) by Alexandre Dumas

by Leave a Comment

Nobody told me this book would be funny! Well, in case you didn't know it, this book is funny! I did know it would be ridiculously long, but I did the audiobook, and Bill Homewood was a very fun narrator, and it didn't feel as long as it could have. For some reason, I've always thought this book … [Read more]

My year, I fear, ends with a whimper

People of the Dark by Robert E. Howard

I had intended this to be the start of a review dump of short stories. It's ended up being a review of a single story: "People of the Dark". I haven't been reading very much this year. Anyway. Published in 1932, this is the story of John O'Brien's attempt to kill his victorious rival for the … [Read more]

Peanuts fans across the galaxy

Snoopy Soars to Space: Peanuts Graphic Novels by Charles M. Schulz

by Leave a Comment

The older I get the more I realize, The Peanuts comic is not always (or really) for kids. They have some terribly adult humor (Snoopy dresses as Lucy to show how tough and mean he can me), the characters are mean, themes are mature in some areas, and frankly, Snoopy? Not the loveable pup I remember … [Read more]

When Fairy Tales go bad

Deadly Ever After by Ben Aaronovitch

by Leave a Comment

Deadly Ever After is the latest graphic novel from the increasingly extensive Rivers of London series. I read it as the 4 comics but it will also be available in graphic novel form (which is what I'll buy my mum for her to read). Sequence wise this is the latest chronological story in canon so may … [Read more]
