FIRST! Some acknowledgements: 2011 was the year this blog started. It began because my friend Jon and I had a conversation during which I realized the best way to be a part of an awesome Geek Girl Blog was to create one. I’m a huge geek. And I have lots of lady friends who are …
It’s going to sound weird for me say, given that I’ve been reading scores of faerie books lately, but I’ve always found the idea of angels a little campy and unappealing (Crowley and his bromance with Aziraphale aside). Maybe because unlike demons and vampires that can exist independently of deities, angels are connected to Abraham’s …
All right, I’ll confess: this review is wicked late because I’ve been too busy listening to El Camino to sit down and make myself write about it. Timely, I ain’t. But it’s pretty fashionable to show up late to the party – and don’t get me wrong, this album is basically one big party, the …
In Let the Right One In, Lindqvist wrote a fresh take on vampires that could stand alongside Dracula in a book-world overrun with vampires. In Handling the Undead, he reinvented zombies completely; they rose from an electrical storm, not a virus, and they shuffled around like real living dead rather than chasing after flesh. With …
I did it! I finished Modelland by Tyra Banks! *swigs vodka* It took a lot of booze and patience and I shed a few tears, but I did it, damn it. I mean, I do it to myself; I am a masochist, clearly. It’s exactly what you’d expect: America’s Next Top Model meets Willy Wonka …
Not gonna lie. I picked up Eve by Anna Carey all because of the cover. It’s gorgeous and has what looks like (and turned out to be) The Golden Gate Bridge. Luckily, I enjoyed it. I grew up in South Lake Tahoe, so it was awesome to read a dystopian novel that takes place there …
Oh, Tiger & Bunny. I was with you until the end. You went places that I was actually going to with you, but then you pulled out at the last minute. You chickened out. I really wish you had stuck to your giant mecha guns and been okay with . . . Well, maybe you …
I’ll be honest: when I first heard that Stephen King was coming out with a new book, my first thought was “meh”. While I’ve been a fan of his since I was ten and had the longing to ever drive a car scared out of me by Christine, reading the last few books King’s put …
Legend, the debut novel by Marie Lu, has been hyped like crazy, which would normally make me wary. But an early review by The Space Pirate Queen included an interview with Day, the fictional protagonist (as written by Marie Lu) and I just knew I was going to be waving a Day Flag. (Don’t worry, …
Okay, so I know what you might be thinking: Wait, it took you HOW LONG to get through only 12 episodes of an anime?I know, I know! I fail in my otaku ways. But this time of year is crazy in the world of my ‘real job,’ and so unfortunately anime had to take the …
