Every Witch Needs a Warrior Girlfriend

I spent years at conventions admiring the single issues of this comic and waiting for the day when they would be collected. Finally, my friends, that day has come.

Adorable Book is Adorable

November 28, 2017 by Emmalita 2 Comments

Confession: I bought this book a year ago. Exactly a year ago today. Thanks Amazon! When I have the $ and Amazon is having one of their sales (a year ago it was Black Friday), I buy a bunch of books, forget I have them, and then rediscover them when I’m looking for something to read. I do love my Kindle. This book was just adorable. Other confession: I read the last two pages after I read the first page, so I always knew Blue’s […]

Apt that the book prompting this was Fangirl

October 21, 2017 by octothorp 7 Comments

You guys, I loved this book.  Like, a stupid amount.  I loved this book so much it gave me the warm fuzzies.  I loved it so much I wanted to be a teen again, and NO THANKS to that.  I loved it so much I saved reading it for bad days despite wanting to eat it in one go like a cupcake.  I loved, loved, loved this book like I was Roger Ebert’s evil twin reviewing the movie North.  What I’m saying is this is […]

Perfectly Pleasant!

September 10, 2017 by Lisa Bee 2 Comments

Just what I needed to take a little break from the lengthy and detailed epic fantasy book I’ve been working on for the past month or do: a sweet and slightly wonky adventure! I just heard of this novel recently, and upon reading Narfna’s positive review of it, I knew it would be great for a little breathing room after reading a couple of more dragging and heavy things as of late. And it was absolutely delightful! Not a masterpiece by any means, but light […]

I read this book in one sitting

July 2, 2017 by KM Bezner 3 Comments

But I’m not really sure why. But there must have been something I liked to read it all at once. So why the 3 star rating? Well friends, in this house we deduct major points for a book that spends all of its time queerbaiting its readers. But I’m getting ahead of myself, and as glaring as it is this isn’t my only problem with the book. So let’s start at the beginning. Our story opens with Abby Rivers, now a successful adult with a […]
