You should all drop whatever you are doing and join me in my current obsession (double bingo)

Lore Olympus, vol 2 by Rachel Smythe

Lore Olympus, vol 3 by Rachel Smythe

November 11, 2022 by Malin 4 Comments

4.5 stars CBR14 Bingo: Adapted (Rachel Smythe's modern take on the Greek myths - and obviously especially Hades and Persephone is so cleverly done) So, searching my blog and Goodreads to see what I wrote about Lore Olympus, my current web-comic obsession, I discovered that after finishing … [Read more]

Let Down…But Not Disappointed?

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

November 11, 2022 by Jake 2 Comments

Have you ever read a book that was super hyped and thought it was...good but not as good as advertised? And you weren't disappointed you read it but it still didn't match the exaltations from others? Cloud Atlas is such a book for me. I appreciated what it was trying to do; I definitely got … [Read more]

The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green

November 11, 2022 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I first heard about The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet (2021) by John Green in my book club. We chose to read it. However, there were problems borrowing it from the library, and some of my friends did not like it. Thus, we ended up moving on without devoting a book club … [Read more]

“A life lived in a simulation is still a life.”

Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel

November 11, 2022 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I've read Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel, so it felt almost inevitable that I would read her latest book. Sea of Tranquility came out this year (2022), and includes a couple of characters that we first met in The Glass Hotel (although it is definitely not necessary to … [Read more]

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

November 11, 2022 by cheerbrarian Leave a Comment

In one word: Possibility Cannonball Read Bingo: Question This book was been on my to-read list for quite a while, but I couldn't get it done! I checked it out from the library two separate times and returned it unopened. I actually opened a copy that was at our vacation house last year, but when … [Read more]

The book, "Of Dragons, Feasts, and Murder" by Aliette de Bodard standing next to an almost complete book bingo card.

Tasty bite of fantasy with fallen angels and shifters with a setting drawing from Vietnamese culture. Bingo #7!

Of Dragons, Feasts, and Murder by Aliette de Bodard

November 11, 2022 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

CBR14 Bingo: "Elephant" - There's a metaphorical elephant in the room, no one seems willing to discuss how the system of repressing people's freedoms is causing the rot at the heart of the dragon empire. First of all, thank you, Emmalita, for bringing this to my attention.  You were right, I did … [Read more]
