The White Cat’s Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon’ King’s Lap by Aki, Kureha, Yamigo

by Leave a Comment

This was a library impulse grab. The White Cat’s Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon’ King’s Lap (v.1) is as you might guess from the title one of the trendy isekai manga with a long-ish title.  It is also as you might guess total fluff, wish fulfillment for anyone who might have felt overshadowed or … [Read more]

Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy

Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy

I went back and forth on this one. And ultimately, I settled on three stars, not because of the subject and how graphic the sex scenes are, but honestly, it just peters out at the 60 percent mark.

Insectopolis: A Natural History by Peter Kuper

by Leave a Comment

Insectopolis: A Natural History by Peter Kuper is a crazy, wild, odd, neat, and informative read. I have read books on insects (mostly picture books and graphic novels for children to teens), but I think this might be my favorite read yet. Kuper mixes fiction, fantasy, speculative and non-fiction as … [Read more]
