Sometimes you see a sequel so incredibly bad it ruins the first film. How to Train Your Dragon 2 hits that hard. Standing in the ashes is a tired tale of the One True Boy and his Peaceful Nation. Plus racism. Remember Astrid and how much you loved seeing a strong female… Read more »

You Won’t Believe What Happened When These M/M Authors Were Interviewed
Unless you’re familiar with the intertwining threads of internalized sexism and fetishization. Then you’ll totally believe it, because this is just another day in RomLand. I’m too sick for this shit. Seriously. But hey, Ridley coughed it up in my lap like a fur ball so let’s clean this mess and… Read more »
Between The Devil And Ian Eversea by Julie Anne Long

Unfortunately, she pulls her final punch. Set in one of earth’s future colonies on a host planet that appeared perfect… Read more »
Island Peril by Jill Sorenson

Claiming The Duchess by Sherry Thomas
Claiming The Duchess turned up on my Kindle and I didn’t recall ordering it, as I’ve been on a Sherry Thomas break. The 45 page story is 50% of the digital file, the rest being excerpts from full length books. As a prequel to her Fitzhugh Trilogy it’s intended to be… Read more »

Brad Pitt Fails To Attend RT14, Practices His Beer Toss Instead The Backlist Is Not The Back Seat – We’re all completely sick of this one, right? But then I thought, maybe some of our readers are not on Twitter. So from Bibliodaze an explanation of why hyperbole is not… Read more »
