Blurred Lines and Sharp Twists

July 22, 2017 by PattyKates 11 Comments

You always know what to expect – especially when reading romance novels – until suddenly you don’t. Kinda like life: it just happens. It’s messy and funny and absurd and surreal but never, not for one second, can you ever really be sure of what’s going to happen next. Our heroine, Parker, has to move home after a two year peacing-out which happened after her sister’s wedding. The same sister – twin sister, no less – who Parker caught doing the dirty with Parker’s boyfriend […]

So much more than that girl standing on the subway grate

July 13, 2017 by katie71483 3 Comments

I was offered an advance copy of UNFINISHED: A Graphic Novel of Marilyn Monroe by Elizabeth Periale in exchange for a timely and fair review. Y’ALL. THIS THING IS FUCKING GORGEOUS. Why did we as adults give up one of the best parts of books? The illustration for goodness sake. I mean, how could it not be considering that its subject matter is one of the iconic beauties of the 20th Century? It’s more than that though. You can tell that a great deal of […]

The Oasis – where I’ve got friends in low places

May 15, 2017 by PattyKates 2 Comments

Previously on Supernatural…. Ishmael and Abraham’s baby mama are kicked to the desert curb because Sarah has ISSUES and God pranks Abraham with the old “sacrifice your son” gag then promises more descendants ruling over everything forever. This week… Patty: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. Sarah finally bites it at the ripe old age of 127. Good riddance, I say. Abraham needs a place to bury his wife, so most of Ch 23 is all: Abraham: Let me pay you for the land to […]

Putting the F in WT

Genesis part IV, Ch. 19-20 by Moses

April 1, 2017 by PattyKates Leave a Comment

Previously on Supernatural… God and two of his homies visited Abraham, wanting the scoop on the freak show also known as Vegas Sodom. God’s buddies went to check it out and that brings us to today, and to why PattyKates cannot stop screaming. Patty: I work with a guy named Jeff. He’s super smart and unnaturally patient, namely when I call him and hysterically rant about something either not working or something I have rendered unworkable. He calmly talks the stupid out of me, fixes my […]

Stupid is as Stupid Does

Katie: Before we get started with today’s installment, I’d like to introduce you to Candace. We were friends in middle school, we lost touch after I moved away, et voila! Behold! The miracle of Facebook restored our friendship after 20 years. She’s wicked smaht, and has advanced degrees that involved her teaching a class on Buffy at Stanford. You know, our kind of people. She’s going to be joining us for our Bible related installments. Candace: *smile, waves* FYI, I’ll be reading along in The […]

It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

March 27, 2017 by PattyKates 9 Comments

Previously on Supernatural… God created some stuff and decided it was good. Two fools did something they were explicitly told not to do and that led to a population explosion (see: begatting). Now all these people are running around being, well, people, and God is up to HERE with their antics. It was all sex, drugs and rock n’ roll, 24/7; like a Sig Ep house in the 80’s. There was crime, depravity, and general wickedness all up on earth. Women were having sex with […]

    LOL! I appreciate your advice! I read the synopsis of the movie and was like "huh."

    on The Curse of Obedience
    I've re-read Ella Enchanted a few times and adore it. I've only seen the movie once, when I had much...

    This sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks for the review.

    on Life, love, and sex are better when you reject the idea of cringe and embrace wonder
    I like this concept! Thanks for the review.

    on Y’all… a delightful break from the stress of life
    I'm not generally into shifter romances, but the title really is awesome.
