A candy colored clown they call the sandman

Preludes and Nocturnes (The Sandman #1) by Neil Gaiman

August 28, 2022 by Bea Pants Leave a Comment

  I’ve actually read Preludes and Nocturnes multiple times since I was a wee 90s teen but I decided to give it a reread since the Netflix series dropped. I’ve been waiting for an onscreen version of Sandman for actual decades so a little refresh was in order so I could pick all the nits in … [Read more]

The Kind of Fame That’ll Warp My Brain

Still Just a Geek: An Annotated Memoir by Wil Wheaton

August 28, 2022 by Ellesfena Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo: Star (Both because Wheaton is a celebrity, and also because of Star Trek) It feels like there's been a lot of talk lately about child stars, what with Jennette McCurdy's book coming out and the recent allegations against Fred Savage. Between all that, reading Still Just a Geek, and … [Read more]

Writing Your Own Happy Ending

Read Between the Lines by Rachel Lacey

August 28, 2022 by Abi Leave a Comment

This one grew on me after kind of a rocky start. A combination of it taking it's time working through an awkward setup and taking some time to warm up to the writing style meant that I spent the first couple of sessions pretty cold on the whole thing, but I came around by the mid point. Rosie and … [Read more]

Finding Hope in Confronting the Past and the Present

The Secret of You and Me by Melissa Lenhardt

August 28, 2022 by Abi Leave a Comment

A lot of the queer fiction I have been recently has featured characters living in either New York or the Pacific North West, or both. Places with widespread acceptance of queerness, or at least enough that the characters are rarely under threat for it within the text, regardless of the real world. … [Read more]

Deaf Utopia book cover: Nyle DiMarco smiling

Deaf Utopia by Nyle DiMarco

August 28, 2022 by Sofi Keren Leave a Comment

I'll admit it. I watched almost every single season of America's Next Top Model. Mostly I loved seeing how the photos turned out in the end, tuning out the manipulated drama that took up half of each episode until the photo shoots began. Nyle DiMarco, the show's first Deaf contestant, won season 22 … [Read more]

“I want to meet you in every place I ever loved. Listen to me. I am your echo. I would rather break the world than lose you.”

This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

August 28, 2022 by cheerbrarian Leave a Comment

Cannonball Read Bingo Square: Recommended I'm always eager for a good recommendation, and my friend Mindi gave me this one. She is one of my very best pals, but our book tastes do not often align, in fact, we are predictably unpredictable in giving each other solid recs. We've joked about needing … [Read more]
