Kicking It by Faith Hunter and Kalayna Price

October 31, 2020 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

When the ‘rona hit, I found it hard to concentrate on a book. If you’re in a slump, I highly recommend trying an anthology from your favorite genre. Kicking It was edited by Faith Hunter and Kalayna Price. I haven’t read any Jane Yellowrock books, but her story made me order the first book. I stumbled across the anthology more so for Price who wrote the Alex Craft books, which was my be favorite series from last year. I took a lot of breaks between […]

Double Bingo! (CBR12Bingo 2: Violet)

The Binding by Bridget Collins

October 20, 2020 by octothorp Leave a Comment

 It was hard for me to make this my Violet square since I bought this on Ale’s recommendation (and their review photo shows the purple in the cover much better than mine – VS Ramachandran’s The Telltale Brain would have made a prettier rainbow, but we’re getting down to the wire and I can read fiction faster than nonfiction in most cases, so needs must). I was almost as charmed by the book as Ale, but I have to admit it was a slower burn for […]

Pretty young things solve supernatural murders in 1920s NYC (Complete bingo card!)

The Diviners by Libba Bray

October 11, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

#CBR12 Bingo: The Roaring 20s (could easily be used for Violet as well)   17-year-old Evangeline “Evie” O’Neill can sense people’s secrets if she holds a personal object belonging to them and concentrates hard on it.

He accuses her of slander and threatens to sue her family. Evie […]

Wizards, Written in the Style of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Peace Talks by Jim Butcher

August 29, 2020 by LittlePlat 4 Comments

Six years! It’s been six years since we’ve had a full-length Dresden Files novel. The wait had not quite reached A Song of Ice and Fire extremes, but fans were still feeling a bit despondent. So cue the excitement earlier this year when it was announced that not only was the wizard-drought going to break, but it with not just one book, but two! …Well, sort of. Sorry, going to put a dampener in this. Because now that I have read Peace Talks – and […]
