It’s finally here, awesome nerds! I have spent a month and a half working on this, and while it isn’t 100% done, it is close enough to be posted. There is still functionality to be added to the glossary, including page jumps and external links. For now, please use your browser’s “Find in page” function […]
Hi, awesome nerds! I have been thinking a lot about my post from earlier this week and the pricing of physical books in Canada. And then I realized that there was a crucial flaw in my findings. I had only looked at one sample. One book, from one publisher. So today, I tried to remedy […]
Hi awesome nerds! There has been a lot of talk about how Amazon is the reigning evil overlord in the US – especially of books. Their ability to undercut other sellers, specifically independents, is notoriously one of the main causes of the downfall of the independent bookstore. But there is shockingly little of the same […]
Alternate title that didn’t fit nicely: So you want to be a book blogger? Hey awesome nerds! How have you been holding up? I hope you are all staying happy and healthy in these intense times! I recently joined a Facebook group for NetGalley users, and there are a lot of people who are just […]

Alternate title: the one where everything changes… for the better. So, lately I have been really absent from the book blogging world. Here, social media, Discord… And I really hate it, and I really miss you all. But it hasn’t been without good reason, I promise. Because you see, just over a month ago I […]
Also known as the one where I completely dropped the ball. You see, this review was supposed to be posted on October 21 as part of a blog tour. I was super excited for it. I read the book early – as opposed to the weekend before, which is how it usually goes for me. […]
(Alternate title: The one where I do ALL THE THINGS!) You say you want a revolution I really don’t even know where to start with Crier’s War. I grabbed it off of Edelweiss because the cover looked good, and I am auto-approved for HarperCollins titles. Then I started seeing the hype. Then I actually read […]
