House hunting and Lessons in Leadership for Vampires

Out of House and Home by Drew Hayes

by Leave a Comment

Bingo 7: Home This one was just kind of fortuitous; I wanted to read Fred the Vampire Accountant #7 which has just recently been published, and it just so happened to be perfect for this square, being titled Out of House and Home. It’s not just the title either, the book is actually about losing and finding both literal and metaphorical home. The book opens a little while after the final events of book 6 (a wedding); Fred and company are getting back to their […]

Ladies do buddy cop stuff in early 20th century steampunk Egypt

A Master of Djinn by P. Djeli Clark

by 5 Comments

To be clear from the get-go, I hope A Master of Djinn is the first of a series. It’s got an interesting world, a twist of the classic steampunk which takes the perspective of the Egyptians not the English with a strong reliance of the local folklore/mythology (as opposed to the European traditions), it’s got some interesting characters, like Agent Fatma a queer lady Agent of the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments, and Supernatural Entities, Siti her capricious lover, and Agent Hadia rookie partner. Some of […]

The Alchemy Side Might Be Interesting

The Ancient Magus Bride: Wizard's Blue vol. 2 by Makoto Sanda, Isuo Tsukumo, Kore Yamazaki

by Leave a Comment

I’m probably back to graphic novels for a bit both because I’m getting a little behind with a few series I follow, and I’ve got some stress going on both at work and elsewhere for the next week or so. Nothing serious, but lightening the reading sometimes helps ease the unease. So, I picked up Wizard’s Blue vol. 2 off my TBR shelf; it’s been there a while and I was hoping it might be not too dark; thankfully it wasn’t. It’s not all sunshine […]

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

by 2 Comments

Y’all. I’m here to say, loudly and proudly, I like fantasy. I don’t know why I didn’t see it before, maybe because I get confused by book genres, but I’m a real fan and delighted to keep finding new fun books to dive into thanks to the CBR community (hip hooray!) I don’t read a lot of YA so definitely have zero ideas of what’s new and hot in that sphere, so heard about this possibly at one of the Zoom book clubs (I think?) […]

Fun with the Fire Force

Fire Force, Vol. 20 by Atsushi Ohkubo

by Leave a Comment

Fire Force is an entertaining but somewhat mindless adventure manga series; one of the good things about it is that it doesn’t always take itself too seriously. In a world where human spontaneous combustion is a real threat and most of the world fell apart during a “Great Cataclysm” fire some years before the action starts, Fire Soldiers of the Tokyo Empire are there to do standard fire-fighting but also fight “Infernals”, basically fire monsters that are the result of someone spontaneously combusting. Company 8 […]
