Different tune, same story

Battle of the Bands by Eric Smith and Lauren Gibaldi

There’s a thing that happens when you totally crush out on someone. It’s like you can feel your heartbeat in every part of your body. There’s a euphoric kind of excitement mixed with sadness and terror. It’s hard to explain, but it happens in an instant and then just explodes and grows from there, consuming your every waking thought and sometimes your dreams. You can’t escape from it. It takes over and runs the controls that make you . . . you. Suddenly, you aren’t […]

The Dead Romantics

The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston

Not much to say besides I really enjoyed this. Have some tissues nearby though cause parts are going to make you cry. Who knew you could write a romance novel involving ghosts and death and have it not turn into a Nicholas Sparks novel where you want to fight people in the end? “The Dead Romantics” follows ghost writer Florence Day. Florence tried to publish her own book years earlier and it “flopped.” Now she writes for an uber famous romance novelist. Problem is that […]

For my first review of 2021, I’m revisiting the world of Ashley Poston’s Once Upon a Con series. We started with Geekerella, the story of a fangirl who ends up getting a direct line to the star of the movie version of her favorite TV show…but she doesn’t know it’s him. Then we ventured to The Princess and the Fangirl, wherein a normal girl switches places with a famous actress to uncover a saboteur. Now, we visit a young lady who wins over a beastly […]

A must read for Con lovers! (Conventions, not convicts!)

Geekarella by Ashley Poston

Why did I wait so long to read this?  This is pure awesomesauce! It’s a Cinderella retelling (obviously) that involves a fan convention (also obviously.)  But it’s more than that. The story revolves around the fictional tv show Starfield, a Star Trek-like show, but Star Trek exists here, so not really?  Maybe it’s closer to the show that Galaxy Quest is about, but it’s really something all its own.  (Ashley Poston does not shy away from using real show and actor names.  Thanks for that!)
