Cover Snark: An Us Anus
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Pam G: Just the ticket for a cold winter night. Sarah: HE NEEDS TO SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. That much red should not be coming out of any region of the body, let alone THAT ONE. Lara: He’s really squeezing the wiener… From MegCat: That glowing green smoke suggests that something smells really bad, which explains his irritated expression. That torso also looks a bit off at first glance … Continue reading Cover Snark: An Us Anus

Book Review
The Woman From the Waves by Roslyn Sinclair
CW: Religious trauma, internalized homophobia I don’t typically read romantasy. I haven’t jumped on any of the big titles, even though friends and family, including my husband, have read at least one. And yet, I had to read this one, because the author wrote my favourite book. I don’t make the rules in my brain, I just have to abide by them. I didn’t really know much going into this book except that there’s a … Continue reading The Woman From the Waves by Roslyn Sinclair
Kickass Women in History: Claudia Jones
This month’s Kickass Woman is Claudia Jones. Wielding a pen instead of a sword did not make this woman any less of a warrior, one who did battle in three countries in her short life and shared not only Black anger but also Black joy. Born in 1915, Claudia Vera Cumberbatch was born in Trinidad and Tobago, which was, at the time, a colony of Britain (it is now the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Claudia Jones

RECOMMENDED: The Secret Lives of Country Gentleman by KJ Charles is $1.99 and a KDD! Carrie gave this one a B+:
The strengths of this book are in the balancing of conflict with humor and optimism, the rich characterizations, and the portrayal of life on the marsh, as well as a romance between two opposites. It’s entertaining, exciting, and immersive. While I wanted a little more from the ending, I enjoyed this book overall!

One of Chelsea Devantez’s listeners connected her to my show after my interview with Joanna Shupe. Meanwhile I’d been working up the nerve to ask her onto my show, and then the universe intervened through this lovely person. Thank you! I recapped Danielle Steel’s dog memoir on her show, and now, she’s in the guest chair on mine. We talk about her memoir, I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This (But I’m Going to Anyway), which … Continue reading 670. It’s Trash-ception with Chelsea Devantez of Glamourous Trash
