“They have vegan cheese.” “No, they don’t. They have shredded orange and white sadness that mocks cheese and everything it stands for.”

The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

March 1, 2024 by cheerbrarian 2 Comments

I was looking for something light after a few dense reads and this came recommended by a friend as a fun romp for the brain, or in the author’s own words, a “pop song” of a book. Scalzi had me at page 21, with this hilarious exchange. “They have vegan cheese.” “No, they don’t. They have shredded orange and white sadness that mocks cheese and everything it stands for.” And yes, I know that vegan cheese certainly exists, but as a person who unabashedly loves […]

A Modern Poldark AU Fanfiction, because why not?

The Distance Between Us by Lucretiassister

December 23, 2020 by faintingviolet 1 Comment

I had mentioned in my review of Spoiler Alert, a book where fanfiction […]
