Arkham Center for Independence? Sounds cozy….

The Oracle Code_ by Marieke Nijkamp

May 11, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I know a bit about the DC universe, but not as much as I would like. Therefore, when I saw this graphic novel, The Oracle Code_ was Barbara Gordon but in a wheelchair, I was surprised. I don't remember that.... but then again, as said, I don't know as much as I would like. I wondered if this was an … [Read more]

The plot within the plot

The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz

May 10, 2022 by Sophia Leave a Comment

My boyfriend read The Plot (2021) by Jean Hanff Korelitz and recommended that I read it. Somehow I got it into my head that it was also one of President Obama's recommended books from 2021, but I just checked and it's not on his list. However, because of these recommendations (real and imagined), I … [Read more]

Speak, Memory

Speak, Memory by Vladimir Nabokov

May 10, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Speak, Memory - 5/5 Stars Rereading this book for the first time in a few years and this time as an audiobook opened up the story, the writing, and the book overall in some positive ways. Nabokov has become for me not necessarily a favorite writer because I don't like every single thing he's … [Read more]

Mine - 3/5 Stars Ahhhh, 1990. It's weird to think about how little cultural cache SDS, Weather Underground, and other Leftist groups from the 1960s and 1970s have any more when talked about in media products. This book is not exactly about a Leftist group, but more of a kind of amalgamation of … [Read more]

Old School Hollywood with Demon Deals

Siren Queen by Nghi Vo

May 10, 2022 by LB Leave a Comment

Holy crap, I want more! Siren Queen is the story of Luli Wei, a star who stole her sister’s name to become famous and became the monster in many films, but also managed to find love and friendship outside the monstrous side of Hollywood. There are elements of this that remind me of The Seven … [Read more]

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