Fake dating and heart-shaped cakes

Not Your Valentine by Jackie Lau

March 12, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

This was an ARC from the author. My views are my own. Helen Tsang has sworn off love as a lost cause after her boyfriend dumped her last Valentine’s Day and someone filmed it, making her a very involuntary viral sensation. However, as Valentine’s Day is approaching once more, she feels like she is getting excessive sympathy and pity from friends, family, and even the staff of her regular bubble tea shop. She doesn’t really want to field any more questions and decides to ask […]

All over the place seems to be the theme

World Record Holders by Guy Delisle

February 13, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport new author World Record Holders is an artistic story that can feel abstract. And that’s pretty much all I have to say about Guy Delisle’s story. But I cannot go all Forest Gump and end on that note, therefore, I will add a couple technical things to my review.  Helge Dascher and Rob Aspinall are the translators.  And Delisle is both author and illustrator. Now I will add some feelings, thoughts and so forth I had. The stories are not necessarily connected, but the […]

December 3, 2022 by Jake Leave a Comment

A happy and blessed Thanksgiving to all who observe! Here is my list of readings that I got to in November that didn’t merit a longer review… The Golden Cage*** Part 1: Ma’am, wyd? Part 2: Good for her! Part 3: Good for…her? Also, kinda sad. Epilogue: Good for her! This is a good, trashy beach read. I just wish there had been less on Faye’s shady past- which wasn’t filled in well-and more on the machinations to destroy her husband’s business. Also, I’m not […]

Up to date on all my review and managed a bingo blackout *does little dance*

The Stand-Up Groomsman by Jackie Lau

November 14, 2022 by Malin 4 Comments

CBR14 Bingo: Funky (Mel makes Vivian feel very funky, in the bad way, when criticising her career choices when they first meet. There is later a lot of *funky bass line* when they finally get together). This was an ARC given to me by the author. It has not affected the contents of my review. Vivian Liao used to be a huge fan of comedian Melvin “Mel” Lee, and one of her hobbies was making fan art about him. Then she actually had a chance […]

“Everyone’s oil sands are different, and these were mine:” A Masterful Graphic Memoir

Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton

November 13, 2022 by GentleRain 2 Comments

I’ve been waiting several years to read this as Kate Beaton has been working on it and I’m super happy to say that this was well worth the wait. Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is a graphic memoir that covers two years that Beaton spent working in the Albertan oil sands. I got Maclean’s for a long time (back when it was weekly!) so I have a good base knowledge about the oil sands and their attendant environmental and social problems. Her nuanced […]

Not so much Sunshine-Grumpy as Sunshine-Sad

Her Unexpected Roommate by Jackie Lau

October 13, 2022 by Malin 4 Comments

CBR14 Bingo: Elephant (the elephant in the room very much being Rose’s depression) CW: mental illness, death of a parent from suicide (in the past) Disclaimer! This was an ARC from the author. My opinions are my own. Rose has treatment-resistant depression but nevertheless manages her job as an electrical engineer with the support of her therapist, her friends, and her collection of plush animals. Having watched all of her friends couple up, she’s feeling rather lonely and sad, but rather than stay home and […]
