Thoughts: Giant Days, by John Allison (vols 1-4)

Posted on 27 May 2017 by Dove

Probably going to be a short one, but if you don’t want to read my inane thoughts, take only this away: Read Giant Days, it is lovely.

Thoughts: Waiting For Godot, by Samuel Beckett

Posted on 24 May 2017 by Dove

Oh man. OH MAN. I have not been looking forward to this. The thought of having to write my thoughts on this almost stopped me from picking it up in the first place. But I was running low on funds … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Kitty in the Underworld, by Carrie Vaughn

Posted on 20 May 2017 by Dove

I’m at peace with the fact that the last three of the Kitty Norville opinion pieces (I don’t think I’m knowledgeable, interesting or authoritative enough to say I “review” books particularly) are probably going to be me trying to analyse … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Ancillary Mercy, by Ann Leckie

Posted on 18 May 2017 by Dove

Oh gosh, where to start? Ancillary Mercy is the last in the trilogy, and as such it was both exhilarating and painful. I worried that I wouldn’t have much to say on this one, as I’ve been so effusive in … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Kitty Rocks The House, by Carrie Vaughn

Posted on 17 May 2017 by Dove

Well, it’s been a while since we were back in paranatural Denver. Not because I was avoiding it (though I understand if my last rant might have given that impression) but because when people lend me books they get bumped … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Katherine Carlyle by Rupert Thomson

Posted on 14 May 2017 by Dove

It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these. I’ve been full of cold, and because I’m in the middle of an editing pass on one of my own terrible manuscripts, I decided it was more important to maintain … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Ancillary Sword, by Ann Leckie

Posted on 3 May 2017 by Dove

Was this on my TBR? NOPE. But technically it should have been, because I did read the first one and I always intended to read the others! I probably don’t have much interesting to say about this one, because I … Continue reading →

German Reading Project: Die Tribute Von Panem by Suzanne Collins, chapter 27

Posted on 1 May 2017 by Dove

And here we are, at the end of everything. It’s been a good, four month journey, and I have learned many things that have actually really helped my German along. The last words I liked the most are perhaps apt … Continue reading →

Thoughts: The Accusation, by Bandi, translated by Deborah Smith

Posted on 30 April 2017 by Dove

OK so firstly, read this book. Just read it. Disclaimer: This book is probably worth more than my idiot opinions of it, but whoops, you’re getting them anyway.

German Reading Project: Die Tribute Von Panem by Suzanne Collins, chapter 26

Posted on 29 April 2017 by Dove

The penultimate chapter! Ahhhh! Confession: the reason I don’t have much to say is that I just read Bandi’s The Accusation and I’m saving up all my oppressive regime thoughts for the upcoming post. geheimniskrämerisch: secretive (how apt!)
