I wasn’t ready for the Alex Craft series to end.

Grave War by Kalayna Price

November 14, 2022 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

CBR14 Bingo Square: Shadow I’m a big fan of witches and magic mysteries, so I got immediately hooked on the Alex Craft novels. In book one, Alex uses her magic to raise shades, which aren’t quite ghosts. More like the memory imprint of a person after they pass. It’s a very handy skill to have a shade testify in their murder trial. Alex has been quite a few personal revelations, a love triangle, and an angry fae queen by the time we reach the final […]

Dessert Person: Recipes and Guidance for Baking With Confidence by Claire Saffitz

August 1, 2022 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

Cbr14bingo Dough BINGO (row 3) While I enjoy cooking shows, I don’t consider myself much of a cook. It isn’t that I’m not interested in improving my skills, it’s just that learning to cook full meals feels overwhelming. It seems like I’m always missing some important ingredient or kitchen tool, plus my kids have a variety of food allergies and intolerances that put some tough limits on me. Baking is one thing I have always enjoyed though and have been willing to take some risks […]

Mama Needs A Minute by Nicole Sloan

October 31, 2021 by NTE Leave a Comment

Let’s talk about bodily autonomy, caregiving (specific to this book, it’s mothering, but it’s not always), and – if you’re a caregiver of a small child especially, why you laughed out loud at the beginning of this sentence. It’s because MOST small children have zero concept of personal space or bodily autonomy, have no problem being attached to their favorite humans 24/7, and would be deeply offended by the idea that their favorite humans might feel differently. Enter Mama Needs A Minute by Nicole Sloan. […]

cbr12bingo – white whale (and BLACKOUT!!!! now I if only I could blackout and forget that this book exists!)

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

October 24, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos 8 Comments

Lolita is absolutely vile, and I cannot be convinced otherwise. Yes, Humbert Humbert is the worst, and yes, we are supposed to know that he is a monster, but good lord this book is venerated from here to kingdom come as if it is the be all-end all of twentieth century literature. The edition that I picked up, which was published in 1997 as a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the original pressing- and is still the one in current re-prints and mass circulation, STILL […]

cbr12bingo – Gateway (plus two “bingos” and a Double Cannonball!)

Coyote Doggirl by Lisa Hanawalt

September 20, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos 10 Comments

Are you familiar with Lisa Hanawalt? If not, how is that even possible? She is a brilliant cartoonist, show-runner, writer, illustrator, podcast host- the list goes on forever and ever. She designed the entire look of Bojack Horseman, has created comics for Lucky Peach (RIP) and Drawn and Quarterly, and is the creator and show-runner of Tuca and Bertie. You may not be entirely familiar with her work, but you must have seen her brightly colored and lovingly created plant and animal people at least in passing- she is everywhere! […]

cbr12bingo – Repeat (and TWO Bingos!)

Luster by Raven Leilani

September 13, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

Raven Leilani has exploded into the scene like the chestburster in Alien. Fully-formed, unapologetic, covered in blood, and completely in control while annihilating the guts of a mediocre man. Luster has been racking up well-deserved accolades, and I truly cannot wait to see what she does next- although I am relieved that this is her debut, and there isn’t a back catalog waiting to destroy me hiding just out of view. Not only is her work fantastic, but it also allows me to knock two “bingos” (Money, […]
