Lumberjanes do Friendship to the Max Indoors and Out

Lumberjanes (vols. 13-14) by Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh, Dozerdraws

by Leave a Comment

Bingo review 14: Friendship Since a tagline for the series is “Friendship to the Max!”, I figure Lumberjanes vols. 13-14 counts for the Friendship square. After a few shaky installments, it feels like the Lumberjanes series is getting its groove back a little. For those unfamiliar, this is a comic book series that follows a group of girls who become friends at the Lubmerjanes summer camp aka “Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady-Types”. April’s the leader go-getter type, Jo’s the smart […]

Varied Love in Space

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

by 1 Comment

Bingo Review 5: Cannonballer Says Still going totally out of order from the plan, and there is/was a written out plan, but this time it’s because of the timing of something coming into my local library. Anyways, I decided to request The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet because it had been an option for the June 2020 bookclub (also apparently in 2018) and some of the discussion comments made it sound interesting. It’s gotten somewhat mixed reviews by Cannonballers, but at least one […]

CBR 12 Bingo: Pandemic. Between pandemic stress and some personal stressors, I’ve been wanting to read light-hearted books, especially funny contemporary romance. The novel is told in the first person from the perspective of Lucien (Luc) O’Donnell, who is the son of formerly famous rock star parents. Five years ago his boyfriend sold his story about dating Luc to a tabloid, and Luc has been a mess ever since. He works for a charity focused on saving the dung beetle, and after a rather unflattering […]

Stormsong by C. L. Polk

Bingo review 4: Violet Stormsong is the second of what is planned to be a trilogy, and the covers are apparently going to reflect the bisexual pride flag; book 1 was blue (Witchmark), book 2 is purple (aka violet), and the to-be-released-Feb ‘21 book 3 (Soulstar) will be pink.

A Magical Island for Special Children

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

by 1 Comment

Bingo Square: I wish … (I wish I could be on a beautiful secluded island during social distancing and also have magical powers) I had been seeing a lot of positive buzz around this novel, and naturally, I was curious about a story with supernatural children.  When Gail Carriger used it as part of a Queer Reads Instagram challenge, I realized it would be a perfect addition to my June reading to at least acknowledge Pride month. In many ways, Linus Baker is a familiar […]
