Disgruntled black and white cat sitting next to "The Kaiju Preservation Society" by John Scalzi

Kaiju fun and a great standalone from Scalzi

The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

April 12, 2022 by Dome'Loki 8 Comments

The Kaiju Preservation Society is a fun romp and a refreshing reset of Scalzi, for me.  His most recent works, "The Interdependency Saga" (a trilogy), left me feeling 'meh'.  My review for the second book had me questioning whether I was cooling on Scalzi.  I still have yet to read the third.  When … [Read more]

If anyone else had made that comment, she’d assume they were flirting.

What a Match by Mimi Grace

April 12, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

After reading several fast paced and loud books in a row it was nice to slow down with a quiet book. Anthony Woods has had a crush on his best friend and business partner's sister, Gwen, for a long time and has dealt with it by avoiding her as much as possible. Gwen has recently ended a long term … [Read more]

“A society that does not respect women’s anger is one that does not respect women; not as human beings, thinkers, knowers, active participants, or citizens.”

Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger by Soraya Chemaly

April 12, 2022 by narfna 6 Comments

"Is it possible to read a book about anger and not get mad? I haven't found it possible in writing one. What are we doing? Why does anyone think that men who cannot say the word 'period' and do not know that the vagina and stomach are not connected are competent and trustworthy leaders?" I want to … [Read more]

“He’s got an arm off!”

You've Got Red On You: How Shaun of the Dead Was Brought to Life by Clark Collis

April 12, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

I'm not a horror movie fan in general (I don't like being scared, nothing fun about it for me) but I love Shaun of the Dead. Maybe it's because it has a "happy" ending, or maybe just because it's funny, or maybe because the main focus aren't the zombies, but Shaun's emotional arc, and the jokes of … [Read more]

After defeating the Vile One as the prophecy foretold, Arek has somehow ended up as king - and now he must find someone to wed if he is to survive his eighteenth birthday.

Violent Delights

Truly, Madly: Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, and the Romance of the Century by Stephen Galloway

April 12, 2022 by Pooja 7 Comments

Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier were an iconic couple in the acting industry, with their combined talent and looks. But the turbulent thread of mental illness ran through their intense romance, ultimately tearing them apart. I only vaguely know both these figures, Leigh better than Olivier … [Read more]
