Don’t piss off the evil, angry Groot-look alike

The Lost Boy by Greg Ruth

November 17, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The other day I was looking for a book at the library. Never did find that one, but in the browsing, I picked up The Lost Boy by Greg Ruth. It looked interesting enough, the cover a “spooky” brown and green mix. The boy heading into light but not necessarily good looking light. And that tree like … [Read more]

Ugh

All Things Aside: Absolutely Correct Opinions by Iliza Shlesinger

November 17, 2022 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Best for: Fans of Shlesinger. In a nutshell: Stand up comedian Shlesinger shares observations about life. Sometimes sort of funny, sometimes disturbingly ignorant. Worth quoting: “But that question, ‘What am I doing this for?,’ is one I constantly ask myself.” “In my mind, there’s still … [Read more]

Darwin’s Blade

Darwin's Blade by Dan Simmons

November 17, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Among all the Dan Simmons book I've been reading in the last few weeks, I think this is the weakest, while also suggesting a much tighter, better book within. Perhaps that's why he followed this book up with three shorter noir books in the Joe Kurtz series. He creates an interesting character, a … [Read more]

“It was time for something new:” Cozy Fantasy During a Chilly Fall is the Best

Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree

November 16, 2022 by GentleRain 5 Comments

I unfortunately can't remember whose review on here stuck in my mind and got me to buy this book this weekend, but thank you once again to the Cannonball community for their great recommendations! I was wandering around the Strand and this was a random add-on to my pile based off the hazy … [Read more]

“I’m not particularly keen about funding my own abduction.”

The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian

November 16, 2022 by Nart 1 Comment

Crime and punishment, the Cat Sebastian way. Plot: The story weaves somewhat with the last book - The Queer Principles of Kit Webb - with Kit's life long best friend and co-conspirator having learned the tragic truth that he was, in all likelihood, the true heir to the dukedom that Kit's own Lord … [Read more]

It’s science, it’s fiction, but it’s not science fiction

Bellwether by Connie Willis

November 16, 2022 by Bothari43 6 Comments

Why is Connie Willis considered a science fiction writer? Is it just because she wrote about time travel that one time? I haven’t read a ton of her stuff (I did read the time travel one), but I don’t quite get it. This book is fine and fun, but not science fiction at all, even though the cover says … [Read more]

    I'm excited for this one. And according to your scale, it will be my favorite since I liked Camp Damascus...
