I prayed this was not the doctor. “I’m the doctor!” he said, waving to the children.

Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson

December 11, 2022 by carmelpie 4 Comments

I thought it over. Dollywood. “Islands in the Stream.” That body. She was the best thing that had ever come out of Tennessee. Jesus Christ, it wasn’t even close. ― Kevin Wilson, Nothing to See Here I’ll admit it. I chose this book because of its cover. The combination of the title plus a cartoon … [Read more]

Abi’s Accidental Grand Unified Theory of 2022 (kidding, sort of)

This Used To Be Easier by Katia Rose

December 11, 2022 by Abi Leave a Comment

It feels kind of silly to be writing another review of a Katia Rose queer romance after I have already submitted my "Farewell for now Katia" review of the last one of them that I read, but I sort of forgot to review This Used To Be Easier so here we are. That is no knock against the book itself, a … [Read more]

Astrid Parker’s No Good, Very Bad Case of Comphet

Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail by Ashley Herring Blake

December 11, 2022 by Abi 3 Comments

I have been waiting for Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail for months. Ever since I read Delilah Green Doesn't Care back in June as the first in my spree of reading every sapphic romance I could get my hands on. I realise this isn't as long as many people wait for books, I myself used to be someone waiting … [Read more]

That beautiful moment when you wake up feeling safe for the first time in years

the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it’s you by greatunironic

December 11, 2022 by Abi Leave a Comment

I wasn’t going to write any more Stranger Things fic reviews this year. I’m behind on my reviews but I have read enough novels to get me to my half cannonball in six months target. But then I read this fic last night and this morning and did a filthy amount of crying, so with apologies to such read … [Read more]

Pretty Outdated But Still Interesting

Chatter: Dispatches from the Secret World of Global Eavesropping by Patrick Radden Keefe

December 11, 2022 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Best for: People interested in an historical perspective on data interception and ‘national security.’ In a nutshell: Keefe explores the US systems of eavesdropping on allies and enemies alike. Worth quoting: “In times of panic, we overreact, we over-legislate. We get it wrong.” Why I … [Read more]

I Could See This Being THE BOOK For Some People

December 11, 2022 by ASKReviews 2 Comments

Best for: I’m not quite sure. In a nutshell: Author Róisín explores multiple ideas of wellness against the backdrop of Western cultural appropriation. Worth quoting: “How can we be individually well if we aren’t well collectively?” Why I chose it: The title intrigued me. Review: CN … [Read more]
