In the last month or so I’ve been dealing with some mental health issues and just couldn’t bring myself to read anything that required a lot of effort or that had any potential to make me upset. I am also not exactly sure how I got a copy of this book (it’s on my phone, so I might have spent too much time browsing the romance section in iBook), but the promise of a gay bodice-ripper romantic novel was just too good not to pick […]
If a Pajiban was to write Serenity fan fiction (and get it published.)
Long Way to a Small Angry Planet This is a rare Sci-Fi book indeed. A long way to small angry planet is written by a former staffer for the Marysue.com. The book is unabashedly feminist, sex positive, inclusive and overall optimistic about the future. It’s not heavy on plot but rather bounces from one small adventure to another resulting in character development but not much else. The Wayfarer is a boring ship, it creates wormholes for faster space travel. The crew is tasked with opening […]
People really are like houses with vast rooms and tiny windows
This book is a goddamned delight, and everyone should read it. The end. No, just kidding. But I am really glad I picked it up (on the recommendation of basically the entire CBR community, amirite?), even though lately I’ve been trying hard to balance my male protagonists and authors with the underrepresented lady brains that are at large and largely ignored (axe grinding alert!). I’m glad I picked it up because it’s incredibly sensitive, and thoughtful, and nuanced. It’s also a little bit self-conscious and […]
Polyamory (and so much more!) in Pictures
Fair warning: I’m going to pepper this review with a few actual strips from Kimchi Cuddles, because pictures are awesome and I love being able to use the actual author/artist’s art to drive a point home. That being said, here; have a comic! Yup. Welcome to polyamory. I’ve been a practicing polyamorist for close to 15 years now and this might just be my favorite book on the subject. And that’s saying something because while there aren’t nearly as many books on the subject as […]
Don’t let the colors fool you
ODY-C is based on Homer’s Odyssey in a world where Zeus has killed off most of the men. ODY-C is a genderbent interpretation that’s completely warped out of its own mind in a psychedelic sci-fi god-ruled outer space. I mean the whole thing is nuts. Crazy colors, and sexual innuendos all over the place; think women breaking down doors with giant phallos’ and vagina-like spaceships. But don’t let the colors fool you. This is not an explosion of a book, it’s a slow, heavy journey. […]
