They’ve been crushing for centuries.

Punderworld Volume 1 by Linda Sejic

October 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

There are several Hades and Persephone stories, and Punderworld Volume 1 might not be as popular as others, but (not having read the others) I would say it seems equally fun. Linda Sejic seems to have made a lighter take on things, but still deals with a darker side of the Greek mythos. Dealing … [Read more]

Fairy Tale

Fairy Tale by Stephen King

October 3, 2022 by 1000Oysters 1 Comment

I recently started dreaming again. Remember back in the early days of the pandemic, when “Covid dreams” were a thing? It was one of many times that I felt I was having an opposite experience of the pandemic. I had always dreamed complex and vivid dreams but once Covid started, my dreams stopped. … [Read more]

We Are Never Meeting in Real Life. by Samantha Irby

October 3, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

I enjoyed We Are Never Meeting in Real Life. while listening to it, but it's been a couple of months since I finished it now, and it hasn't really stuck with me, so I'm rating this one three stars. The only story that I remember with any clarity was the one about her cat, which I was always going to … [Read more]

A little disappointed in this one.

The Merciless Ones (Deathless, #2) by Namina Forna

October 3, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

I've been going back and forth, and then back and forth again over whether to round this up to four or down to three stars. I think I'm settling on three stars because the plot made my head swim, and not in a good way. No one but Deka, Ixa, and perhaps Britta get significant development, so I had … [Read more]

Oh Look—It’s a Payoff!

Be the Serpent by Seanan McGuire

October 2, 2022 by LittlePlat 2 Comments

Same disclaimer as per usual; if you are reading a review of a long-running series—and Be the Serpent is entry number 16—you know what to expect spoiler-wise. I’ll try not to mention too much in this book, but the others are all fair game.  Another thing with long running book series is that … [Read more]

The Club: How the English Premier League Became the Wildest, Richest, Most Disruptive Force in Sports by Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg

October 2, 2022 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

Like many Americans, I have become increasingly interested in the English Premier League over the last few years. I find myself drawn to the history of the game and the passion of its fans. The concept of relegation and promotion, completely unthinkable in American pro sports, are irresistible and … [Read more]
