Sadly, yet another Alyssa Cole hero kind of unworthy of his heroine

How to Catch a Queen by Alyssa Cole

March 25, 2021 by Malin 3 Comments

3.5 stars Official book description: When Shanti Mohapi weds the king of Njaza, her dream of becoming a queen finally comes true. But it’s nothing like she imagined. Shanti and her husband may share an immediate and powerful attraction, but her subjects see her as an outsider, and everything she was taught about being the perfect wife goes disastrously wrong.   A king must rule with an iron fist, and newly crowned King Sanyu was born perfectly fitted for the gauntlet, even if he wishes […]

a very special episode in a very farcical town

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

March 15, 2021 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

*”Yakkety Sax” blares through your speakers* A robbery- wait, but not quite. A bank robber, but not who you expect. An accidental hostage situation. Aggressively unhelpful witnesses. A nervous eater who devours a whole lime, pith and all. Bumbling cops. Feisty old ladies. Sounds fun, yes? It is fun! There is a solid farce at the core of this story. Misunderstandings, misdirection, and missed connections fly in and out of quickly slamming doors. A manically wound player piano would not be out of place in […]

Not your usual celeb autobiography

Becoming Johnny Vegas by Michael Pennington

March 6, 2021 by TheShitWizard 1 Comment

Just as Johnny Vegas isn’t your usual comedian, Becoming Johnny Vegas isn’t your usual celebrity autobiography. Most of those I’ve read tend to be a collection of funny anecdotes interspersed with achievements and name-dropping. While Becoming Johnny Vegas includes all of that, it’s also so much more – the introspection and self-reflection here goes deeper than in any other celebrity autobiography I’ve ever read, as Pennington (Vegas’ real name) tries to get to the bottom of just how he became Johnny Vegas. Recounting his happy […]

Hey all! I know it’s been a while –> Covid is a beast, and Long Covid its just as beastly older sibling.  But! I am determined to actually write some reviews this year, so here we go. Short Review: These books are amazing, and if you ever see a sale on them (which is how I wound up with these), grab as many of them as you can.  Love, your friendly neighborhood former reading/kindergarten teacher. Now, actual thoughts and paragraphs: I don’t know what other […]

Yes, Let’s

Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson

January 2, 2021 by Nannerbears Leave a Comment

Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson is a self-described mostly-true memoir whose title is begging to be left on the shelf, and reader, I suggest you do exactly that. There are a few laugh-out-loud moments, and I use the word moment pretty loosely. It’s more like she accidentally strung a few genuinely funny words together after trying so desperately to prove to us all that she is just so weird, so funny, and so unique. There is an attempt at self-deprecation that any […]
