Books on Sale: Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan & More

RECOMMENDED – Sarah bursts in and says, “OH HOT DIGGITY: Long Live Evil is $2.99!” This book came out on 27 August and was a bestseller in the UK and in the US. It was recommended by both Bree Bridges and me in the Rrrrromantasy panel I moderated this weekend for Northern Hearts, AND by Courtney Milan in this week’s podcast episode.

I read this over the summer, and got a sunburn because I forgot where I was (outside, in a pool) and how long I’d been reading (awhile) and, well, I was so engrossed forgot that I’m White and I need sunscreen every 90 minutes to 2 hours. OOPS. It’s absorbing and powerful and adventurous and so emotional.

TW/CW include: cancer, medical trauma, and also, because villainy, violence, gore, and some murdering.

Books on Sale: Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle & More

Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle is $2.99! This is Chuck’s first full-length novel. Carrie gave this a C+:

Even though I didn’t enjoy this book completely, I think the author (who I admit to shamelessly adoring in general) has a lot of potential in terms of this kind of full-length work. It has a big heart and a lot of arresting scenes (I won’t forget that fly vomit any time soon). It will work best for horror fans who don’t mind body horror, flies, worms, and surrealism. I will be reading the next full-length Chuck Tingle book for sure.

Camp Damascus

Camp Damascus is a full-length novel by Chuck Tingle.

For an idea of his short work, check out my review of Oppressed in the Butt by my Inclusive Holiday Coffee Cups or listen … Continue reading Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle

Happy Wednesday! We’re in April! Whoa! Will I celebrate another pandemic birthday? Who knows! But I will be fully vaccinated by then and I will walk my happy ass to the grocery store and buy a bakery sheet cake with ALL THE BUTTERCREAM. I also had my first eyebrow wax and haircut in over a year and I nearly cried. We’re almost there, friends! … Loved this profile on the Wikipedia editors who are dedicating … Continue reading Links: Biscuits, History, & More

I just came back from a rather relaxing reading retreat and it’s a struggle to drag myself to the gym. What I’m trying to say is that my life is all over the place and I hope your Wednesday is faring better. … Reminder! Our Movie Matinee Broadcast News discussion will be occurring this … Continue reading Links: Podcasts, Olympics, & Star Wars
