“She didn’t want this, she thought. She wanted to stop being afraid.. and she wanted a future that didn’t look exactly like her past. There had to be something they could do. This wasn’t living, it was just giving up while still breathing.” ― Maggie Stiefvater, Call Down the Hawk “Farooq-Lane’s fist smarted as if it had just been smashed against a douchebag’s face, because it had just been smashed against a douchebag’s face.” ― Maggie Stiefvater, Call Down the Hawk Spoilers for The Raven […]

It really is a magical word: no. You say whatever bullshit you want, and I just say no.

“Well, even if the serpent bites off your head,” says Tatterfell, “the rest of you will still look good.” “That’s the spirit,” I tell her.” ― Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing Lately, I’ve been spending an above-average amount of time on Pinterest, checking out art for the various literary and television fandoms I follow. Inevitably, I end up going down some rabbit hole filled with gorgeous art depicting the faeries of Holly Black’s The Folk of the Air trilogy. I’ll be honest, I’m not […]

cbr12bingo – Debut

Boys of Alabama by Genevieve Hudson

July 26, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

Oh dear. Boys of Alabama is a lot. In Genevieve Hudson’s debut novel we are introduced to small-town Delilah, Alabama through the eyes of Max- the new kid in town. Max and his family just moved to rural America from urban Germany, and we leap into the culture shock with them. Delilah has two religions: Christianity and football- and the two form a dangerous communion. Max is sensitive, quiet, and gay. He can also bring dead things back to life; one touch and wilted flowers bloom. […]

The City Baker's Guide to Country Living by Louise Miller

March 14, 2018 by Ellesfena Leave a Comment

I am not the right audience for this book. I had forgotten I read The City Baker’s Guide to Country Living, but then I got the three-day reminder from my library that it was due back. Blast! So I went to Goodreads to see what my fellow readers were saying. That was a bit of a surprise, as it sure seems like people love this book. They LOVE it. I had to scroll down like 15 reviews before I got to one that was less […]
