Spear by Nicola Griffith

The last few years I try to read at least one or two things that I would not normally read. I have done horror graphic novels, manga, and adult novels. I did not do great (but not horrible) this year (that horror manga comic alone would have been enough), but I figured Spear by Nicola Griffith might … [Read more]

If You Meet a Skelton by Rebecca Evans

The Perfect Sushi by Emily Satoko Seo

I love a good commercial or ad. I like the cleverness of someone I do not know selling me something. This usually does not work on me for something like dog food (I do not have a dog) but I have begged my parents for a toy or two. But it has with more than a book or ten.

I know that Janelle Monáe did her "dirty computer" thing and I get where she was going with this. If you pretend it's just a continuation to her … [Read more]

The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories about Mythic Heroes

The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories about Mythic Heroes by Rick Riordan

Did Not Finish-10 percent Totally my fault on this one. I didn't realize that most of these are stories about characters in prior books that have been published. I was totally lost in the first story and the fact that characters were going to different universes where they were stealing chickens. … [Read more]

The Unbalancing by R. B. Lemberg

by 1 Comment

CBR14Bingo - Bird: The supreme deity in this universe is the goddess Bird and some of her creation lore plays a large part in the book. There is no one else in the world that writes fantasy like R.B.
