geek parenting done right
I chose Joe Hill’s latest for this category because I love love love love everything he writes and I knew the 700+ pages would fly by like magic. I discovered him only a couple years ago when I read Heart Shaped Box and I’ve been an avid fan ever since. I’ve been looking forward to his latest […]
Note: I received this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review The concept of projecting one’s consciousness into an artificial body is not a new one in science fiction (and apparently closer in the real world than you might think), but Emma Geen has chosen to focus it on animals, which I can’t […]
From the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value — you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the […]
Please note: This book was provided to me free of charge by the publisher in exchange for an honest review Look, I bent the rules a little to make this one fit. While the rights were purchased this year, the actual TV series doesn’t come out til 2018. Don’t care. After last week’s effort […]
I sort of struggled a bit with this prompt. Most books translated into English tend to be pretty classic novels that I sometimes find hard to read. I’ve already read the Millenium trilogy which would have been my first choice. Enter Amazon who suggested HEX for anyone who enjoyed The Woman In Black. Aside from […]
I cannot tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to this movie. We missed Batman Vs Superman due to a remake of Contagion in our house with H as the monkey. Due to this I didn’t want to tempt fate by buying our tickets to Civil War too early just in case. We had […]
So I had to choose a book written by a celebrity for this week’s prompt and it doesn’t get much more famous David Duchovny to me, I mean he’s Fox freakin Mulder! No? Just me then. Right. Well on with the show. This isn’t David Duchovny’s first novel. He wrote an X-Files novelisation back in the day (Quake) […]
It was bizarrely difficult to find a book with someone who works on a help desk that I hadn’t already read. Initially all I could think of was Ready Player One (which I’ve read over and over and adore), so Reddit came to my rescue & recommended Attachments by Rainbow Rowell. I’d never actually read […]
I’ve already read a lot of books set in Queensland, and once you go outside John Birmingham and Nick Earls, most of them seem to be super heavy historical tales about racism. So when I saw this one I bought it just for the title: Mad Men, Bad Girls and the Guerrilla Knitters Institute – […]
Keep Me Posted appeals to the child in me who waited at the mailbox – I love the romantic idea of letter writing but I’m not so great at the execution. Most of the time I struggle to return emails on time and my mail mostly consists of bills along with a hefty amount of Tupperware from […]
