Struggling With WordPress (Again)
Posted December 9, 2018 by Tammy in Discussions / 56 Comments

  Sometimes you just need to get shit off your chest, and I’ve had the worst blogging weekend ever, so I thought I’d not only vent, but perhaps open a conversation for other bloggers who are having trouble with the new WordPress 5.0 update. I am NOT tech savvy at all. I don’t know much […]

VENGEFUL by V.E. Schwab – Review

VENGEFUL by V.E. Schwab – Review
Posted December 8, 2018 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 24 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A satisfyingly complex, multifaceted tale of revenge, Vengeful is a worthy sequel and is a 2018 book you cannot miss. It’s been five years since I read Vicious, the first book in Schwab’s ambitious super hero saga, and although it’s been a longer than normal time between releases, I can say without hesitation […]

One of my favorite things about Heartstone, the first book in White’s Pride & Prejudice fantasy retelling, was the world building. I’m a big P&P fan, but those elements are not what won […]

And here we are, the end of the year…how did this happen? It seems like just yesterday I was making reading goals for 2018 (which we won’t talk about because big fail!). But I actually like December on the blog, because I use it mostly as a “catch up” month, since I don’t usually have […]

#RRSciFiMonth: UNHOLY LAND by Lavie Tidhar – Review

#RRSciFiMonth: UNHOLY LAND by Lavie Tidhar – Review
Posted November 29, 2018 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 29 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Tidhar’s latest is a challenging but ultimately satisfying read that deals with histories, both real and imagined. Reading a Lavie Tidhar book is like being in a fever dream. Events, characters, places and impressions swirl around you, creating a sense of unease, or confusion, or sadness. Tidhar pieces the parts of his stories […]
