Fantasy Sports V01: Court of Souls by Sam Bosma

by Leave a Comment

The time came for me to look at old saved links for online reader copies. And one that I had been wanting to read, but the time was never  really right, was Fantasy Sports V01: Court of Souls. I figured that the Sam Bosma graphic novel might be a Space Jam of sorts. (Not that I have seen Space Jam one or two, but what I figure it was like) and it was nothing like that. Things were if The Mummy meets Indiana Jones meets […]

Heaven Goes to War with Heaven and Mummies try not to fall apart

Grave Importance by Vivian Shaw

by Leave a Comment

I’d kind of been putting off reading Grave Importance because it’s the conclusion of a series I’ve enjoyed. This was a good ending to the series, and I’m sad it’s over, but at the same time there are a few things I wish had gotten a little more attention. The basic story has two lines that of course merge part way through; first there’s Greta’s in which she takes over a really fancy mummy clinic for a friend for a few months and naturally discovers […]

A Few Things Get Lost in Translation from Podcast to Book

Sawbones: the Horrifying, Hilarious Road to Modern Medicine by Dr. Sydnee McElroy, Justin McElroy

So the question for this first review of 2021 was do I review the book I started (and finished) in 2021 first, or the one I started in 2020 and finished in 2021 first? I have decided to review Sawbones: The Book first, because I’m pretty sure I started 2020 with Will My Cate Eat My Eyeballs? (which I greatly enjoyed) and there are some strong similarities, both being medical in nature, as well as presented by an expert (one of the co-authors of Sawbones […]

Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? by Caitlin Doughty

by 1 Comment

So technically I started this book on New Year’s Eve day but I did not get it finished in time to be a final review of 2019, so here it is as my first review of 2020. Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? is very much as it has been advertised: an entertaining, yet informative discussion of various questions a mortician has been asked about death and dying. The one thing that I was not expecting and still kind of doubt is the claim that […]

When I read The Everything Box, it never occured to me that it was the first in a series!! HUZZAH AND HURRAY, more Coop! I love these books. I’m going to get to more Richard Kadrey eventually (see also: I’m working through the “Dark Tower” series AND the “Rivers of London” series concurrently, currently), because I absolutely howl with laughter when I read his books, and I cannot put them down unless absolutely compelled to. He is my new Douglas Adams. I’m on board for […]
