Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time


Mid-trilogy shift from Snarky Magical Adventure to a Demon Endless Philosophy

Quicksilver Court by Melissa Caruso

by Leave a Comment

Quicksilver Court is an interesting middle installment; there’s a lot of set up for future things and not much is resolved. What’s interesting is that a key question from the first book is answered about halfway through; usually you have to wait until book 3 for that. What happens here though is … [Read more]

Whimsey in the Face of the Mundane

The House in the Cerulean Sea, by TJ Klune

by 1 Comment

This was a gift from last year's book exchange, and while I finished it a while back, I think I put off reviewing it because I prioritised all the Hugo works for Bingo instead; I had a harder time fitting this into my scorecard calculus! What this did mean though is that I had some extra time to … [Read more]

Too Many Rabbits by Davide Cali

Another Edelweiss read was Too Many Rabbits. And I will assume that Davide Cali’s book was only a sample, as there were a few missing pieces, but enough was given so I know that in mid-March 2023 this book will be on all the lists.

A Taste of Honey: Kamala Outsmarts the Seven Thieves ( by Rebecca Sheir

The Tale of the Unwelcome Guest: Nasruddin Teaches the Town a Lesson by Rebecca Sheir

But also, the flow and tone of the story is slightly different and that can help one’s enjoyment of … [Read more]
