This book is MY little pumpkin pie

You're My Little Pumpkin Pie by Nicola Edwards

September 7, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith Leave a Comment

It's not even fall yet, you might be thinking to yourself. Why are we already taking the plunge into cute and cozy autumnal books? Because I'm trying to mentally will it to be fall already. I'm so 100% done with the 80+ degree temperatures that melt my phone mount off my dash in the car (twice now). … [Read more]

Now I remember why I usually hold off on consuming media until it's over and done with: I'm too gosh darn impatient. Per Shonen Jump, Fujimoto hasn't put out enough chapters for a volume 12 yet, so no beginning to the second "act" of Chainsaw Man, and it's not until next month that the anime begins. … [Read more]

One MFing Superhero and a (swear) long review

M.O.M.: Mother of Madness, Volume 1 by Emilia Clarke and Marguerite Bennett

September 7, 2022 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

I am glad that I did not realize who Emilia Clarke is before I read this book. If you have been under a rock (like I obviously have) she is an actress from Game of Thrones (at least I have heard of that). The why of that is I am a snob when it comes to celebrity books (not completely convinced of … [Read more]

Here goes with my super-belated reviews of Chainsaw Man. I've never gotten in on the ground floor with a manga before. Actually, I've only ever read I think one other manga, Death Note, and that was after having watched the television series first. I'd avoided manga and anime (unless you count the … [Read more]

You Had Me At “Queer Monster Love Story”

Hollow Heart by Paul Allor

September 7, 2022 by Sofi Keren 3 Comments

I was excited to have my novel nominated for an Indiana Authors Award this year. Since I didn't win this round, of course I had to pick up a copy of the winning book in the Genre Fiction category, a graphic novel titled Hollow Heart. I was thrilled to see it described as "A queer monster love story … [Read more]

Am I a masochist?

Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

September 7, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith Leave a Comment

This is one that collected dust on my to-read list for years, forgotten about, until I saw a review here recently. Upon seeing that review, I immediately put in a hold request for it at the library, even though they only had a large print version, randomly, which always makes me feel self-conscious … [Read more]
