Revisiting Midkemia

Magician by Raymond E Feist

Silverthorn by Raymond E Feist

A Darkness at Sethanon by Raymond E Feist

August 3, 2022 by kittenkong42 3 Comments

It's been a strange year, I actually started it reading at pace but then lost my inspiration for writing about what I'd read. Going to try and make up for that now by reviewing my trip back to Midkemia! Raymond Feist's fantasy world, based on the D&D game he and friends played, is always a solid … [Read more]

‘… the unleashed feminine, that awesome maelstrom of incredible sexual and physical power – multiple orgasm, gestation, birth, breastfeeding – so often feared, is dangerous and often leads to a terrible afterlife.’

“My ladies had changed nothing but the reasons for their pretense. If I had learned anything from them, it was this: only a fool lives in water and remains an enemy of the crocodile.”

The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi

Cannonball Read Bingo Square: Shadow Y'all. I finished this book May 17th for my library book club, and I am just now (finally) reviewing it. What. A. Journey.

Tiger, Tiger: My 25 Years with the Big Cats by Charly Baumann

August 2, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

CBR14Bingo: Star (Charly clearly sees himself as a star, and he was) This was a pretty fast and straight forward autobiography of Charly Baumann's twenty-five years of circus life. It's not the type of autobiography where the author does a lot of introspection, but it's an enjoyable read and a … [Read more]

CBR Bingo Square: Monster Damn, y'all. Yes, my summer of Irish fiction continues. Though I've had Anna Burns's Milkman on my shelf for...maybe close to two years?...it's a read I just kept putting off, and then I let my Instagram friends decide what novel I was gonna read next and this … [Read more]

Honestly, what else could you need? If you are our Heroine Leigh Wells, you need quite a bit. You've been called back to your ancestral island home, far flung from the wild shores of Scotland. World War Two did not hit your home directly, but it stole many young men and sent very few back home. … [Read more]
