The Music Was Just Getting Good by Alicia Cook: Book review

Thanks to the author and publisher for providing me with an ARC via NetGalley for an honest review. The third and last of a mixtape poetry series, The Music Was Just Getting Good is 184 poems paired with songs. There are 92 poems and 92 blackout poems, divided between Side A of the collection and Side B (a break in the book). The poems are labeled track one, track two, etc. with the paired songs…

Holiday Star by Dr. Melissa Dymond: Book Review

Thanks to the author and publisher for providing me with an ARC via NetGalley for an honest review. I struggled with this book, to be honest. 60% of it was irritating and simplistic. But the last 40% or so was better and I did almost enjoy it. The mental health and therapy becoming involved in the characters’ development was crucial for this section, though I wish that there was more separation…

Pride and the Penalty Box: A Hockey Romance by Phebe Powers: Book Review

Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review! I loved this book! It is high-quality and highly engaging throughout. I wanted desperately to read it in one sitting. In terms of particulars, for anyone who has reservations about self-published works, the pace is energetic and consistent; there are three word mistakes (missing a the and the like); and the…

“Men think about Romans at least once a day” factoid is actually a statistical error. The average man never thinks about Romans. Jedediah, who thinks about a Roman literally every second of his homosexual cowboy life, is an outlier and should not be counted.

They’re best friends. You can tell because they bicker Like An Old Married Couple. Like a beautiful and delicate snowflake, no two friendships are alike. Unlike the beautiful and delicate snowflake, some friendships break out the flamethrowers in the face of this sickening sweetness.

These guys bicker constantly. They’re always sniping at each other. They snark relentlessly. They duke it out on equal terms, hurling insults at one another with prejudice. But underneath the verbal fencing is a rock-solid friendship that no Smug Snake could hope to chip at. Often, they have opposite morals, personalities, or fighting ability, which is presumably the cause of the vitriol (or maybe it’s just because they’re both Deadpan Snarkers).

Woe betide any outsider to this unusual ‘friendship’ who thinks that because one is constantly snarking on the other, it gives the outsider the right to make snide comments about the other as well; usually, they will quickly (and painfully) learn that “no one makes fun of him/her but me.”

We've had strap ons since at least 400 BC, and people still have the nerve to go on gay hook up apps and ask "how can an FTM be a top?"

Image ID: Text "Fourteen inches and seventeen pounds of cast iron penis. My late husband found this in the walls of an early 1900s farmhouse that he helped a friend demolish. He wanted to throw it in with his scrap pile and I wouldn't let him. I mean seriously...who would scrap this?!?" Under this are three pics of a dildo plus balls made out of cast iron. The member is placed on a work table and 2 of the pics also show licence plats and things hung on the wall behind it. The penis it's self shows the signs aged cast iron does, slight rusting and tarnishing. It has a rounded end with a little ring at the tip end, and has a sligh curve to it making it look quite fallic indead. It looks as though, with the balls, it could have been used with a harness, or for personal use. End ID

I hope this helps whomever had a burning desire for a description, and that they now feel satisfied ;)

Transcript: “My late father was in Auschwitz concentration camp My late mother was in Madjanek concentration camp Every single member of my family on both sides was exterminated. Both of my parents were in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. And it is precisely and exactly because of the lessons my parents taught me and my two siblings - that I will not be silent when Israel commits its crimes against the Palestinians.”

Winter Harvest by Ioanna Papadopoulou: Book Review

Thanks to the author and publisher for providing me with an ARC via NetGalley for an honest review.I was really excited to read a retelling of Demeter’s story, but I did not enjoy this book. The different myths incorporated into the novel were not the issue, I really liked learning more about different aspects of Demeter and her legends that I had not already encountered. But the book was so…
