“Her pen had a heart inside, and the nib was a wound in a vein.”

This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar, Max Gladstone

July 13, 2021 by Dome'Loki 3 Comments

CBR 13 Bingo Square: Fauna This is How You Lose the Time War came highly recommended by Cannonballers and all sorts of ‘best of lists’, it’s even a staff pick at Mysterious Galaxy (where it completes a separate bingo square for their summer reading bingo!).  I’m happy to report that it lived up to all the hype.  This is a love story unlike any I have read before, due to the science fiction setting and non-human characters, but it contains classic elements; enemies to lovers, […]

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

July 6, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 7/30 This might be the best f/f romance I’ve read? I mean, I don’t want to be facetious or whatever, but I super enjoyed this. I felt the feelings. It got me in my swooners. Plus! I loved the rest of it also. A lot of times in romances you either love the plot and the surroundings or you love the main couple, but here you get the best of both worlds. McQuiston knows how to create atmosphere, she’s […]

Magical History Tour Volume 4: The Crusades by Fabrice Erre

June 11, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Magical History Tour Volume 4: The Crusades felt easier to read than the others I have read in this series. Not that it was a younger read, it is still for the aged 8 to 11 (young 12) reader, but it seemed to have less information than Fabrice Erre’s other historical graphic novels. The Crusades are shown in a more European centered manner but touching on some of the non-Christian people and events of importance. The highlights of the crusades are presented in a simple […]

A weird book I had a lot of things to say about.

A Discovery of Witches (All Souls, #1) by Deborah Harkness

June 8, 2021 by narfna 9 Comments

Oh wow I have so many things to say. The vast majority of the time when I go to write a review I have to sit there and think of things to say, when my instinct is just like, I had feelings okay and now you want me to put them into words? But the words are just wanting to flow for this one. So first, because context is important, three things about this book and also me: 1. It was free. A friend was […]

The Future Is Yours

Time travel, Silicon Valley tech bro style

The Future is Yours by Dan Frey

April 1, 2021 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

“So an antisocial introvert doing everything in his power to avoid the world … may have created a technology that will end up destroying it?” Ben and Adhi were college roommates who bonded over shared trauma – the death of a parent – as otherwise they couldn’t be more different from each other. Ben’s charismatic and driven, someone who sees himself as a Steve Jobs visionary type. Adhi, on the other hand, is an introverted engineering genius. Dissatisfied with their lives after college, Adhi uses knowledge from […]

Time Travel for Love and Profit

Who would want to redo your freshman year of high school repeatedly?

Time Travel for Love and Profit by Sarah Lariviere

March 18, 2021 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

This book is weird, and not just in the way you expect a Groundhog-Day-esque time travel book to be. “Breakthroughs are great, don’t get me wrong; but admitting that there were epic flaws in your original idea is hella painful. I’ve decided that science is like a sausage factory. Major discoveries are delicious, but you don’t want to know what’s in there.” Nephele loves math. Frankly, she’s a genius. She knows that makes her weird and generally not like the other freshmen at her high […]
