And Away... by Bob Mortimer

October 17, 2022 by GentleRain 1 Comment

CBR14Bingo: Funky (It's a good adjective for Bob Mortimer) Honestly I find this cover scary and have to keep it turned over so I'm not confronted with Bob Mortimer's face all the time, but I do think it sums up his wacky charm, as well as the dark undercurrent in his work. And Away... is a … [Read more]

Cordelia and Aral Vorkosigan would be mortified by this sloppy excuse for a sci-fi romance

The Outback Stars by Sandra McDonald

October 17, 2022 by Bothari43 7 Comments

There I was, reading along on a pretty straightforward sci-fi tale of a badass commander, assigned to clean up a ragamuffin department on a spaceship while dealing with some serious trauma after her last ship exploded, when BLAMMO! All of a sudden I’m reading a romance? The hell? I’m not always … [Read more]

It Won't Always Be Like This

A graphic novel memoir about a ten growing up between cultures

It Won't Always Be Like This by Malaka Gharib

October 17, 2022 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

I’m not a big fan of reading memoirs – unless they’re graphic novels. There’s something about the combination of words and illustrations that makes me feel like I’m getting a better insight into the person. So when I saw this coming-of-age memoir by an Filipina-Egyptian-American woman, I was … [Read more]

Paladin's Grace by T. Kingfisher

October 17, 2022 by GentleRain 1 Comment

CBR14Bingo: Dough (I feel like I remember them eating bread in this book? Also there's the use of currency. I'm struggling with the last two bingo squares.) I read this based off wicherwill's recommendation -- the idea of Tamora Pierce for adults really hooked me, since I am a life-long Tamora … [Read more]

Camp by Kayla Miller

Crunch by Kayla Miller

October 17, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

CBR14Bingo: Verse (both books are set in the same universe/setting) Camp and Click are standalone books in the same series. It does help to know the character relationships, but it doesn't really take away your ability to understand the narrative. In Camp, Olive and Willow go to summer camp for … [Read more]

Pie became politicized and racially charged

Sweet Land of Liberty: A History of America in 11 Pies by Rossi Anastopoulos

October 17, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Sweet Land of Liberty is a history with some recipes. As a lover of food and a lover of weird deep dives into history, this is definitely up my alley. I appreciated that Anastopoulos acknowledges the limitations of her hook, but really embraces it. Her chapters cover social movements, race … [Read more]
