Review: The Agony House by Cherie Priest

April 27, 2019April 27, 2019 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

Like most people, I follow Cherie Priest on Twitter for the adventures in pictures of Scorndog, Grayson, House Leopard and recently departed ElderCat. (Most people do follow her for that reason, right? I'm not THAT weird? Also the book news, sure, but really, pet pictures.) Years ago, I read Boneshaker, and really enjoyed it, so … Continue reading Review: The Agony House by Cherie Priest

REVIEW: We Set The Dark On Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia

April 8, 2019 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

I devoured this book. I grabbed it from the library last week, because it was on my list, but I couldn't really remember what it was about. But it had a good title and a pretty cover. We Set the Dark on Fire starts with a myth, of a sun god and a salt god, … Continue reading REVIEW: We Set The Dark On Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia

Review: Ghost Boys by Jewell Parker Rhodes

March 23, 2019March 23, 2019 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

Ghost Boys is a too-familiar story. In alternating sections of "Alive" and "Dead" it tells the story of Jerome, a 12 year old boy from Chicago who is shot and killed by a police officer while playing with a toy gun. Jerome is a quiet boy with no friends who gets bullied daily at his … Continue reading Review: Ghost Boys by Jewell Parker Rhodes

REVIEW: Here and Now and Then- Mike Chen

March 9, 2019 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

One of my favorite parts of my Patreon page (which you can subscribe to HERE) is my book blogging monthly column, Canon Blast, where I read and pick apart a work in the SFF Canon. In the interest of book blogging more, I'm going to try to do little write ups of things as I … Continue reading REVIEW: Here and Now and Then- Mike Chen

Flash in the Pan: A “She” Companion Story

January 24, 2019 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

I've neglected this blog a little bit, but I think it will work out. I read H. Rider Haggard's She for my November Canon Blast post-- which you can find over on my Patreon for just $1/month-- and it was a hoot. And I mean that sarcastically, because I really did not like it at … Continue reading Flash in the Pan: A “She” Companion Story

Goals Post (Not the Sportsball Kind)

December 31, 2018December 31, 2018 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ Leave a comment

2018 has lasted an eternity and also somehow flown by at the same time. I'm not sure how that happens. I honestly can't remember what happened when. Rationally, and according to the google machine, I know movies like Black Panther came out this year, etc, but I'm also pretty confident that was like ten years … Continue reading Goals Post (Not the Sportsball Kind)

Year in Books 2018

December 31, 2018December 31, 2018 ~ lizzdonnelly ~ 1 Comment

It's December 31, which means it's time to take stock of what I read this year and pick some favorites. TOP FIVE (in no particular order): Annihilation-- Jeff Vandermeer Go ahead and watch the movie, but it's nothing at all like the book. Annihilation is the first book in the Southern Reach Trilogy, and I … Continue reading Year in Books 2018

Hello friends! This is a different kind of wrap up post. It's been brought to my attention that Awards Season is upon us, and I do have a couple of things that are eligible. Nebula Nominations are open--I'm not a SFWA member (yet!) so I can't nominate, but I will put together a post closer … Continue reading 2018 Eligibility Post
