Closer to Okay

Closer to Okay by Amy Watson

September 15, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Trigger warning: Book gives a lengthy (and much appreciated) trigger warning for suicide and mental health. Not to much to say here. I liked the ideas behind this book much more than the actual book. … [Read more]

A Gendered History

Gender: A World History by Susan Kingsley Kent

September 14, 2022 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

Gender: A World History found its way to my ears (I went audiobook form for this one) due to a sale. For $2.99 this sounded like just the sort of thing I’d like to read. For the most part this book did fit my needs and meets the criteria of being as advertised: this was in fact a history that was … [Read more]

Pack of Lies

“It seemed absurd, a monster going monster hunting. But why not?”

Pack of Lies by Charlie Adhara

September 14, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 1 Comment

CBR14Bingo - Star: Julien's the sort of actor who's mostly recognizable, but his glory days seem to be behind him. I deeply loved the Big Bad Wolf series, so while I was happy to see Cooper and Oliver finally get their HEA I was sad to say goodbye to the world. Well, luckily we have a new spinoff … [Read more]

“I was thirty-seven years old and still discovering who I was.”

My Life in France by Julia Child, Alex Prud'Homme

September 14, 2022 by faintingviolet 4 Comments

The story of Julia Child's years in France in her own words was literally the second book I put on my Goodreads to read list in January 2012. It has taken me this long to get to it, but I’m perfectly happy to have waited until I was in the right mood – even though this book made me hungry every time … [Read more]

The Journalist and the Eternal Questions

The Journalist and The Murderer by Janet Malcolm

How to Be Perfect by Michael Shur

September 14, 2022 by booktrovert 2 Comments

CBR Bingo - Scandal (The Journalist and the Murderer)/ Questions (How to Be Perfect)(and a Bingo!) I finished How to be Perfect on audiobook, listening most of the time with a car full of children (with only a few cringing moments at the mention of some notable sex scandals). It seemed apt for … [Read more]

Stop buying up all the She-Hulk, people!

She-Hulk #5 by Rainbow Rowell

September 14, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith Leave a Comment

I guess the arrival of the She-Hulk television series must've been a boon for Rainbow Rowell's comic series too, since both of the local comic book stores I've been to are sold out of #6. Even online retailers are out of stock, except for third-party re-sellers who are trying to make an extra … [Read more]
