Happy Halloween, everyone! What better way to celebrate than with some Cover Snark! From Kris B: I’ve been trying to figure out why this woman’s pose disturbs me so much. She is clearly facing away, and her right arm could twist back that much. But my brain wants to say she’s facing forward. Just me? Sarah: Definitely not just you – the proportions on that right (??) arm are very distracting. I mean, it should … Continue reading Cover Snark: Happy Halloween!

This edition of Kickass Women in History is by Pam G. PamG’s most interesting era was middle age when she returned to school to earn a BA in English, spent a decade practicing judo with family and friends, and subsequently converted to devout Band Boosterism when her daughter embraced the cult of Marching Band. Ms G is currently spending her twilight years wrangling teenagers in her alma mater’s library media center by day and her … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Rusty Kanokogi
RECOMMENDED: The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Holton is $1.99! I reviewed this one and gave it a B:
The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels felt very much like a Shelly Laurenston romance in a historical package. It’s loud, over the top, and has much more of a focus on wild action scenes.
I have read this webcomic on Tapas several times now. Whenever I want a quick read that’s visually adorable and emotionally sweet, I re-read it. When I learned there was a print version and there were extra panels within, I borrowed the book from the library. It doesn’t take long to read this book, in print or online, but I’m so happy I borrowed it. My intention was to read it while still in the … Continue reading Fangs by Sarah Anderson
Amanda and I are back for cover mayhem! We’ve got crimes against Tom Hardy, questionable titles, and lots of visual silliness. There’s background barking of support from Zeb, inquiries as to the union terms of the shifter cover wolves, and questions about the futility of truly ever knowing who it was that let the dogs out. Thanks to David T. Cole for helping me figure out how to add images. You should be able to … Continue reading 534. Spooky Season Cover Snark
A Princess for Christmas by Jenny Holiday is $1.99! Carrie read this and gave it a B:
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. I found it to be feminist and sexy, loving and funny. It was the book I had no idea I needed and it comforted me right down to my toes. I absolutely recommend this as a holiday de-stressor and I am hoping that there is a more inclusive sequel for some of the supporting characters.
It’s Halloween! And it’s also holiday season because obviously Halloween has no strength as a barrier between “apple cider/pumpkin spice” and “HOLY CRAP HOLIDAY CHRISTMAS JINGLE TINSEL RAH RAH RAH.” Every year, my neighbors sit around a fire pit on Halloween and greet the neighborhood kids so they don’t have to go up and down all our steps (and alarm my dogs who, for the record, think Halloween is absolutely the Worst). We have themed … Continue reading Hayadoin? Got Halloween?
Love in the Time of Serial Killers is an enjoyable book, but I struggle to classify it purely as a romance because so much of the novel is spent on the heroine overcoming her anxieties and struggling to move forward in her adult life. By contrast the hero really has no obstacles to overcome; he just has to wait for the heroine. Phoebe Walsh is busy working on her dissertation about rhetoric and genre theory … Continue reading Love in the Time of Serial Killers by Alicia Thompson
Welcome to Wednesday Links! How are you all? My partner and I hit up two apple orchards for our continued quest for the best apple cider donut in New England. I also had the opportunity to make my apple butterscotch pie and it turned out wonderfully! What are you Halloween plans? My partner’s friend and neighbor is having a get together. We’re wearing a couple’s costume: San and Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke. We saw the movie … Continue reading Links: Cats, Dioramas, & More
