“But we know that people are complicated and have a mixture of flaws and talents and sins. So why do we pretend that we don’t?”

So You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson

April 25, 2019 by narfna 4 Comments

This is one of those books that probably everybody should read. It wasn’t the most brilliantly written book I’ve ever read, but that’s okay, that’s not Ronson’s style. He’s very workmanlike in his writing, sort of tongue-in-cheek, and he’s got this great way of using his simple style to deliver these darkly funny deadpan one-liners. But what I really liked about this was the message. The book is short, and sort of rambly, and structured more like a Russian doll than anything. He opens stories […]

September 11, 2015 by narfna 4 Comments

Before I get too far into this review, I just want to state, for the record, Felicia Day has said that she does not really like being dubbed ‘The Queen of the Internet’ or ‘The Queen of the Geeks’ or whatever crown we the people want to bestow upon her, but the fact that she comes unwillingly to power only makes her more worthy, honestly. I do feel a bit bad about potentially making her feel more anxious over this responsibility we’ve all thrust on her, […]

“I’m a fangirl, a feminist, and a force to be reckoned with.”

February 12, 2015 by NTE 10 Comments

Are you a fangirl who has lost the ability to can? A fanfic writer who spends most of her time squeeing over her OT3? A convention noob afraid of catching hate for her kick-ass Falcon cosplay? A person who didn’t understand 3/4 of what I was talking about in the last few sentences? In any of these circumstances, we’re all going to be glad that Sam Maggs has written The Fangirl’s Guide to the Galaxy – a pretty comprehensive overview of living the geek girl […]

    As a long-time nonprofit professional, I'm intrigued at the mixing of fantasy and fundraising. Plus, what a gorgeous cover!

    on What if Cinderella was a handsome Jewish man and the prince was a determined and beautiful heiress?
    I remember enjoying this one. And you’ve reminded me that I have an arc for the third book.

    I haven’t read this one but I got sucked into vampires early, probably around 2nd grade with a kids series...
