Heavy Vinyl – not so heavy on plot but still fun!

Heavy Vinyl: Riot on the Radio by Carly Usdin, Nina Vakueva, Irene Flores

by Leave a Comment

Heavy Vinyl appears to have gone through some adjustments over its publication.  Its title was originally Hi-Fi Fight Club and then for some reason they changed the name of the record store it is set in from Vinyl Mayhem to Vinyl Destination. Both changes are better, but many of the web descriptions of the comics have the old names so that’s confusing. Anyhow, spoiler alert: it’s about a fight-club in a record store! Sort of. I haven’t read or seen Fight Club, but this seems to be more of a vigilante group than the Fight Club of Palahniuk (and later, […]

Good Concept That Didn’t Pan Out

Afterparty by Daryl Gregory

by 2 Comments

This book was recommended to me by a bookclub friend.  “Lesbian scientists!” she said.  “There’s a drug that makes people see God (or Gods or G-d),” she said.  It sounded like a cool idea, reminding me a little of Nexus by Ramez Naam or some post-William Gibson kind of thing about our modern technology gone just a little too far. My overall experience of reading this book was just “meh.”  The concept did sound pretty interesting and it begins with a character who is a lesbian in a mental institution, so I realized pretty quickly it wasn’t an average sci-fi […]

So Excellent! – CBR 8 – Review #2

So For Real by Rebekah Weatherspoon

by 1 Comment

This review covers three romance novellas that read as one larger story – So Sweet, So Good, & So For Real.

So For Real, the final installment in this series, came out a couple of weeks ago and I snapped it right up. Our MC is Kayla Davis – a thick, black, bisexual woman who has just been laid off from her job. Her roommate, Adler, convinces her to sign up for a service that facilitates sugar daddy/baby arrangements so they don’t […]
