Escape From Yokai Land by Charles Stross

May 21, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I’ve had Charles Stross’ Laundry Files series in my TBR for a while; got the first one on Kindle sale a while back; it was pretty good. Grabbed 3 more from the library, although not quite in sequence. It turns out that you can read this series out of order and it will still mostly make sense. There … [Read more]

Four Queens: The Provençal Sisters Who Ruled Europe by Nancy Goldstone

May 21, 2022 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

Nancy Goldstone’s Four Queens is the sort of non-fiction I enjoy tucking in to. I travelled last week and wanted a book to read at the airport and on the plane to decompress and scratch the same mental itch as my marathoning Time Team has done (a show which helped me recognize names and places in … [Read more]

I Guess He Had to Be There

James Acaster's Classic Scrapes by James Acaster

May 20, 2022 by jeverett15 2 Comments

Thanks to my obsession with British panel shows I've become quite a fan of James Acaster. His series of Taskmaster was one of the show's greatest, and he's maybe the best Would I Lie to You? guest not named Bob Mortimer. I even occasionally listen to his and Ed Gamble's Off Menu podcast even though … [Read more]

The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd

May 20, 2022 by MG Dietzel Leave a Comment

Did you love Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore? Do you love maps? Ok, you will very likely love The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd. Bear in mind though that it won't *always* be the most logical book, so if you are the kind of person that is driven crazy by magically induced plotholes then it might … [Read more]

Our Planet! There’s No Place Like Earth? by Stacey McAnulty

Earth! My First 4.54 billion Years by Stacey McAnulty

Sun! One in a Billion? by Stacey McAnulty

Mars! Earthlings Welcome by Stacey McAnulty

May 20, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Stacey McAnulty has caused me great stress. I cannot decide which of her books I liked best in the Our Universe series. Was it Ocean! Waves for All? Or was it Our Planet! There’s No Place Like Earth? Or even Earth! My First 4.54 billion Years (the first in the series)? Or the Sun! One in a Billion? … [Read more]

    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.
