What Else Would You Look With?

My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones

May 28, 2022 by esmemoria 3 Comments

Promising: Maybe every final girl in the history of final girls has had a horror chick whispering to her from just off-screen. Maybe this isn’t a deviation but the usual build. Just one nobody ever knows about until they’re smack-dab in the beating heart of it. What? Jade looks at him with just … [Read more]

“If there’s a purpose to life it’s to love and communicate.”

Cyberville: Clicks, Culture, and the Creation of an Online Town by Stacy Horn

May 28, 2022 by Halbs Leave a Comment

A tip of the hat for tech & culture writer Joanne McNeil for mentioning this book in her excellent Lurking. Cyberville is the story of New York City's 1990s "online salon," Echo. Stacy Horn founded Echo and authored this book. However,  the book features clips of lengthy discussions from Echo … [Read more]

Assassins of Thasalon by Lois McMaster Bujold

Knot of Shadows by Lois McMaster Bujold

Death in Venice by Thomas Mann

Basic Training by Kurt Vonnegut

The Ipcress File by Len Deighton

As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

May 28, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Assassins of Thasalon - 3/5 Stars I fear I am starting to get some Penric-fatigue, and I hope it's not Bujold fatigue as well. I have to say that the previous two entries in the series did little for me, and this one was more interesting, but won't stay with me much longer. It's also possible … [Read more]

Be (So) Over Him

I'm So (Not) Over You by Kosoko Jackson

May 27, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

While I like fake relationship, and I reallly like "we broke up but have worked on our issues and are not back together because there was never another for us," there's something about the way it all came together which fell a bit short of the mark. I did the thing which I know I shouldn't do and … [Read more]

in the same vein, but the opposite of a reality cooking tv show

Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake

May 27, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

I liked this book, and all the things it was and wasn't. Was: a sapphic, small town, reunited after many years but not in a "we used to date and I have alwayssssssss loooooooooovvvedddddddd youuuuuuuuu I haveeee alwayssss loved you I have etc" type of way. Multiple female friends! Satisfying … [Read more]

    on Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Abduct
    I read them in the late 1980s/early 90s too. They were my first romances.

    on Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Abduct
    I read my way through her books, and those of Kathleen Woodiwiss and Shirley Busbee, in the 1980s and 'bonkers'...

    on Love on the Spectrum, Austen Style
    Yes! It’s downright offensive! I do love Lady Catherine
  • Emmalita
    on Love on the Spectrum, Austen Style
    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.

    on The Kiss Quotient: Reverse, diverse Pretty Woman.
    This book helped me realize how very specific my pet peeves could be in relation to how people refer to...
