A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske

March 29, 2022 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

First of all, Thank you, again, llamareadbooks for gifting me this book in the Cannonball Book Exchange!  A book that combines several genres I enjoy was almost guaranteed to be a hit but it is the beautiful writing that makes this such a wonderful read. You look like a Turner painting and I want to learn your textures with my fingertips.  You are the most fascinating thing in this beautiful house.  I’d like to introduce my fist to whoever taught you to stop talking about […]

Action adventure in space with queer representation!

The Disasters by M. K. England

March 20, 2022 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

I missed out when The Disasters was the Cannonball Book Club pick but have finally made up for lost time.  This book immediately kick into high gear and doesn’t stop until the conclusion.  Science fiction is a favorite genre of mine and this was so fun, as well as refreshing with the LGBTQ+ representation. All Nax has ever wanted was to be a pilot.  The best way to do so is to become a cadet in the Space Academy and then migrate to the off Earth […]

Branching out for my final CBR13 review, and a brief summary of my CBR year

In Too Deep by Daryl Banner

December 25, 2021 by Mobius_Walker 1 Comment

Jonah works a job that is sucking the life out of him in Houston. He works with his best friend Rico and roommate, but that isn’t enough to make his life enjoyable. Jonah and Rico plan a weekend getaway to a fictional Texas beach town to escape the monotony of their lives by having a weekend that would make Dionysus blanche. Their plan is to drink too much, soak up the sun, and find multiple boys to have some fun with for just the weekend. […]

“But somehow I’m still here, and he’s still here, and even though I still feel like a hopeless case, this thing between us doesn’t feel hopeless at all.”

Any Way the Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell

July 27, 2021 by Dome'Loki 8 Comments

CBR 13 Bingo Square: Shelfie THIS BOOK!  After having reread Carry On and Wayward Son, I was primed for Any Way the Wind Blows.  I devoured it so quickly that I immediately reread to be able to slow down and better absorb the story.   Rowell brings the Simon Snow trilogy to a satisfying close but what an emotional journey to get there.  Carrying their hearts on their sleeves, Simon and Baz are so vulnerable and continually bracing for the pain that might come.  Penelope’s decisions and the […]

“But it was a mistake thinking of that as an end. There is no end. Bad things happen, and then they stop, but they keep on wreaking havoc inside of people.”

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

July 22, 2021 by Dome'Loki 2 Comments

CBR 13 Bingo: Rep – Rowell’s portrayal of Simon’s depression is a very frank picture of what depression can feel like and how it affects relationships. Contains Spoilers if you have not read Carry On and Wayward Son. This is Part Two of my rereading books one and two of Rainbow Rowell’s, Simon Snow trilogy, before starting number three, Any Way the Wind Blows.  Part One can be found here.  And if you’re interested in my original thoughts on those two books, they can be found  here. […]

Epic enemies to lovers and queer romance for The Chosen One

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

July 21, 2021 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

CBR 13 Bingo: Gateway – Carry On is the gateway to Simon Snow and Rowell’s World of Mages. After watching Rainbow Rowell for the book release of Any Way the Wind Blows, I wanted to re-read Carry On and Wayward Son to fall in love with Simon and Baz all over again.  However, they didn’t fit into my bingo plan, then Malin helpfully suggested that Carry On works for Gateway and Wayward Son for Rep.  I didn’t have a book picked for either square yet so […]
