Oh, shit I just realized I could have used this for the ‘snake’ BINGO square, but I’m already committed to a less literal and more satisfying usage of it later.

From Bad to Cursed (The Witches of Thistle Grove, #2) by Lana Harper

July 18, 2022 by narfna 6 Comments

Thanks to Netgalley and Berkley books for the ARC. It hasn't affected the content of my review. I liked this even better than the first one. I actually think what I like most about this series doesn't really have anything to do with the featured romances. I just like this world, and I like that … [Read more]

The Fatal Flame (Timothy Wilde, #3) by Lyndsay Faye

July 18, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

I had this book out from the library so long they charged me for a replacement, and then I ended up buying a used copy anyway (I did return the library book, which was an Interlibrary Loan, whoops). Should have just done that from the beginning! Oh, well. I would have bought it eventually anyway, … [Read more]

July 18, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr14bingo Snake  Level two Philip Pullman’s The Golden Compass is a dark read and The Subtle Knife is even darker. Therefore, when either is in a graphic novel format, you are not only reading the dark you are seeing the dark. In all its nasty glory. The theme of religion becomes more center … [Read more]

What Moves the Dead

“There aren’t any moors. There’s a sort of heath and a tarn and a mad Englishwoman painting mushrooms.”

What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

July 17, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 4 Comments

The last T. Kingfisher book I read (The Hollow Places) made me terrified of willow trees and school buses, and now this one made me terrified of rabbits (technically hares, but, ya know). Which is to say, this is another astoundingly imaginative work. While it’s certainly not necessary, I’d … [Read more]
