What Have We Here?

This was a really hard read to listen to. Billy Dee is showing his age, and I really didn’t think he’d be narrating his own memoir when I learned of it at Motor City Comic Con last fall. But he did. At MCCC he was very slow, and his handler? manager? guy who does talking […]

Humor Me

Short break from Zodiac Academy for a light, frilly rom com – a perfect beach read! As a Michigander, it was a delight to read a romance novel set in the place I have lived my entire life. I picked this up at Book Suey in Hamtramck during the MI Book Hop. The author is […]

Zodiac Academy: Shadow Princess

WHAT THE FUCK!? How am I supposed to just stop reading these now and go read SIX other books to have the best impact?! WHY. The friend who got me hooked on these (ELYSE) sent the rest of book club this tiktok, as her endorsed way to read the series (she is not the tiktoker […]

Zodiac Academy: The Reckoning

Ok, biggest thing that I was glad to see in this book was that the twins’ orders finally emerged. I was so tired of waiting for that. The biggest thing I am not thrilled that the bullying is still going on. Like, y’all got bigger problems to worry about then who hates each other more […]

Zodiac Academy: Ruthless Fae

What is happening to me. I am writing this after having just finished Shadow Princess, because I am a monster who cannot be stopped! I have read Ruthless Fae, The Reckoning, and Shadow Princess over the last few days and I am literally forcing myself to stop to write these up. (The Awakening review is […]

The cover of Patrick Stewart's Memoir. A photo of Patrick Stewart from the shoulders up with his chin resting on his hands which are folded.

Making It So

It was much later in his career that I became aware and fan of Patrick Stewart, but listening to his life story was incredibly interesting! What a delightful read. I was, like many non UK residents/youths, not aware of Patrick Stewart until much later in his career. My first of his performances was in the […]

The cover of Butcher & Blackbird. Black background with hot pink and purple decorations. The title is in white over a pink and purple ombre banner. There is a couple embracing under the title.

Butcher & Blackbird

Well, I definitely didn’t have recommending a book with “accidental cannibalism” in the list of trigger warnings on my bingo card, but here we are… While I definitely was icked out at some of the descriptions of decaying dead bodies and um, some of the descriptions of the murdery activities in this novel, it was […]

Zodiac Academy: The Awakening

Another, but different book club read! I had two book clubs this weekend, and it was excellent! This is a solid 3/5. I am intrigued by the general plot, and want to know what the hell is going on between the different factions. However, I’m very meh about the characters. No one listens to the […]

Bride

The STEM romance queen Ali Hazelwood has turned her attention to fantasy, and I am not sure how we can survive! I was excited to read this because I have thoroughly enjoyed literally everything else Ali has written. I ended up reading this now because Stephanie and I finally both had physical copies, in our […]

Raiders of the Lost Heart

I straight up DEVOURED this book. I started reading Tuesday night and finished it Wednesday afternoon! Though, to be fair, this is a Once Upon a Book Club (OUAB) book, so I had gifties I was really looking forward to getting to! I am not a monthly subscriber, but I do pay attention to their […]
