“I commend my soul to any god that can find it.”

Going Postal (Discworld, #33) by Terry Pratchett

September 26, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

Why I always gotta review these five-star Terry Pratchett books??? Unlike with a lot of Pratchett books I give five stars to, I can't really justify this one with much of a deeper meaning. I just had a really good time with it, and the premise and main character really tickled me. Our "hero" is … [Read more]

The Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang

The Genesis of Misery is not a queer retelling of Joan of Arc in space, but it also kind of is (...innn sppaaaaace). Let’s review a few things about the Patron Saint of France: during the 100 Years War (1337 - 1453), Joan was a peasant teen-aged girl who had visions and heard voices which she … [Read more]

Last book review of the day! Huzzah. This will also teach me to next time make sure my books are downloaded on my Kindle before going back to my hometown where WiFi is not a thing apparently. I was so mad at myself. Will get back to the other books I had planned to read for Halloween Bingo, but … [Read more]

Firestarter by Stephen King

Weird, I don't remember this book being so long when I read it as a kid. But this one is fairly long. I was happy to read about Charlie and her father trying to get away from the scientists who want to lock them up and study them. I always found this book to be a bit reminiscent of Dean Koontz in … [Read more]

It's weird. Every time I go home to visit (I am from PA) I end up reading a lot of Stephen King books. I read this one when it first came out, but realized I never posted a review of it. This weekend was dark and rainy and cloudy and it was a perfect setting to read about Trisha and her adventures … [Read more]
