Old friends

Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett

Jingo by Terry Pratchett

December 27, 2021 by persnickety chick 2 Comments

I have been listening to these three books on audio on repeat all year.  It has been an anxiety filled couple of years and I have found audio books at night help me shut down the worry voice in my head. I know the stories so well it doesn’t matter if i have missed pieces along the way. The rereads have reinforced my understanding of Pratchett as a great writer and observer of humanity.  There are likely to be unintended spoilers, as i have read […]

‘I’m shadowed by doubt that I didn’t have it bad compared to others. But racial trauma is not a competitive sport.’

Minor Feelings: A Reckoning on Race and The Asian Condition by Cathy Park Hong

August 12, 2021 by denesteak 4 Comments

This will be a tough one to review. Cathy Park Hong’s Minor Feelings wasn’t just good – and it was unbelievably good. It was both recognizable – like a familiar friend who I just nodded along to as they spoke – and a revelation. She skillfully put into words a shade that has maybe always been super-imposed over my world view, feelings I never knew were nagging at me before. Her seven essays also covered so much ground that any review I write – and anything […]

House of Hollow

House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland

May 19, 2021 by Caitycat Leave a Comment

“We all knew too well what could happen to girls on poorly lit streets at night, because it had happened to us. Then again, all girls knew that…” It happened on New Year’s Eve years and years ago. The three Hollow sisters were walking down the street. The clock turned to midnight, and their parents looked away to kiss, just a moment. When they looked back, the girls were gone. They searched high and low, but they couldn’t be found. One month later, the girls […]

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

May 19, 2021 by Caitycat 2 Comments

“Humanity is so weird. If we’re not laughing, we’re crying or running for our lives because monsters are trying to eat us. And they don’t even have to be real monsters. They could be the ones we make up in our heads. Don’t you think that’s weird?” Linus Baker lives a dull, ordinary life. He works at DICOMY, the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, where his job is to ensure that the magical children living in state run homes are being cared for properly. […]

This Is Not the Jess Show

This Is Not the Jess Show by Anna Carey

May 19, 2021 by Caitycat Leave a Comment

It’s going to be pretty difficult to talk about this book without spoiling the big twist, although the twist is pretty obvious from the beginning. It’s advertised as a cross between Black Mirror and My So-Called Life, which partially gives it away to me. Anyways, I’ll try my best to toe the line… Jess Flynn is your typical late-1990s high school girl. You know, the late 90s, Spice Girls and BSB, Titanic, TGIF, Doc Martens and babydoll dresses, Clueless, pagers, inflatable furniture and lava lamps…that […]
