Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time


For my friend Petra, without whom I would not be reading this series

The Grief of Stones by Katherine Addison

by 1 Comment

  Petra was my dear friend and a dyed in the wool book nerd. She passed away this past November and I miss her terribly. I think of her any time I read one of these books because she recommended the first one and I'm sad that she's not reading the series with me. The Grief of Stones … [Read more]

This guy wanted to be Tolkien so very badly.

The Summer Tree (The Fionavar Tapestry, #1) by Guy Gavriel Kay

by 8 Comments

I was but a wee little fetus when this book was published in 1984, so I should probably give it some leeway—it was 38 years ago, times have changed, this probably seemed great back in the day, the genre hadn't evolved yet, blah blah blah—but I don't want to, and I'm not going to. This book is the … [Read more]

I found this Persian-inspired fantasy intriguing.

This Woven Kingdom (This Woven Kingdom, #1) by Tahereh Mafi

by Leave a Comment

I always try to go into books with an open mind and wanting to like them; it's not fun for me to read books I don't like. But even so, I haven't had great luck with YA fantasy in the past so I mostly stopped reading it. For some reason, as a genre it's particularly vulnerable to publishing trends … [Read more]

I unexpectedly fell in love with this one day.

Drunk on All Your Strange New Words by Eddie Robson

Thanks to NetGalley and Recorded Books for the audio ARC. It hasn't affected the content of my review. Firstly, I'm going to apologize in advance because this review might end up being the equivalent of one of those annoying YouTube comments where some genius pops in to be like "FIRST!" and … [Read more]

Problem play indeed.

Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare

by Leave a Comment

I will be honest with you here, and let you know that I barely remember this play. There were only a handful of Shakespeare's plays that I made it out of school not having read, and this was one of them. I've been meaning to read it for years but never seemed to get around to it. Honestly, I wish … [Read more]
