Hunted (House of Night) Chapter 24: Okay, let’s get right down to it. Why the hell is Stark in Zoey’s room? Well, you see, he was stalking her and heard Nala and Zoey both freaking out, so he came to save the day. I’m impressed by Stark’s initiative. Zoey is rightfully skeptical because all the […]

Happy last day of January, y’all! Congratulations! You made it! House of Night (Hunted): Chapter 25 Zoey wakes up to find that Stark has kept his promise and left at some point before she woke up. Which kind of raises the question why she wasn’t vulnerable to Kalona since whenever he left, but I guess […]

Wanna hear something crazy? Back in the day, we used to do a feature called What We’re Actually Reading, where we’d talk about – get this – the other books we were reading. I know. On a book blog. Madness. And we’re bringing it back! Ariel’s joining in on the fun this time, and Matthew has […]

Calendar Girl (April): Chapter 8 As the chapter begins, Mia is still with Alec, and like hell I’m turning off Google AdSense ads for this whole chapter for all of two pages of explicit content, so you can use your imagination to guess the context for how “overused, swollen tissue” and “feast on your flesh” appear in this […]

Pop Quiz #3‘s answers revealed: Question 1: What fundraising strategy does Gin come up with? 68% of you were correct when you guessed, “auction off sexy baseball players to earn money” Question 2: This week, Zoey and friends figured out that there are other characters that might be immune to Kalona’s rapey charms. Who are they? […]

Hunted (House of Night) Chapter 26: Zoey goes to fencing class, and Dragon winks at her, so she’s confident he’s on their side. In case you all start calling foul on Zoey fencing while she’s supposed to still be injured, don’t worry, she’s just on the sidelines watching. While observing class, Zoey has some insightful comments […]

House of Night (Hunted): Chapter 27 It’s another chapter of Zoey going to class, because this book still wants us to think that school is remotely important for Zoey. This time, Zoey’s going to her drama class. This is notable because while I’ve joked about how Zoey never seems to go to the same class […]

Calendar Girl (April) Chapter 9: We pick up right where we left off, with the immediate aftermath of Rachel discovering Mason and Mia in bed together. Mason is so ashamed of himself until Mia points out that they didn’t actually have sex and that this is a last-ditch effort to add some zing to this […]

Spoilers? It’s the end of another Calendar Girl novella, which means the plot is just about to stop mattering anymore, so I can’t imagine anyone’s surprised to learn that Rachel takes Mason back. In actual surprising news, this is the book when I learned that Audrey Carlan rates her own books on Goodreads: Be right back, I’m gonna […]

Hunted (House of Night) Chapter 28: Zoey is still freaked out even though the Raven Mocker has flown off into the night of the House of Night. There’s some ice on the ground, and Zoey asks fire to melt it for her. Zoey is that friend who calls in favours for really stupid things, but […]

Matthew: My god, it’s finally happened: enough people are supporting us through Patreon that we hit the point where we said we’d start doing coverage for The Bachelor. As in the reality tv show where a number of women compete for one man’s affections, as he tries to feel out which one he wants to spend […]

Here’s the bad news: we’re not starting our new Thursday/Friday book this week. Here’s the exciting news: we’re doing this because we need a little extra time to prepare for an ambitious new secret project. Which is, of course, the next book, but it’s not quite as straightforward as that. Ariel and I talked about some new […]

Thirty-Word Recap We try to summarize the episode in 30 words: one word for each contestant the season started with. Ariel: Nick cries the whole time. The show wants us to know Corinne has a platinum vagine (vajeen?), but Nick won’t hit it. Everyone pumped for hometowns. Danielle and Kristina leave. Matthew: Nick decides not to quit […]

House of Night (Hunted) Chapter 30: Everyone shows up at the stables and praise Zoey for her brilliant plan to tell them to meet her at the stables without Neferet reading their minds. They then summon the elements to protect their thoughts, which raises the question, why didn’t they do this in the first place? Then the […]

House of Night (Hunted): Chapter 31 The chapter kicks off after Zoey has filled the others in on whatever her plan to escape is. Ordinarily, I’d criticisize this for being another instance of House of Night’s horseshit habit of switching between limited and omniscient narration whenever it’s convenient to how suspenseful it makes the plot, […]

Matthew: Have you ever read a book or watched a movie and thought it was great, but then the sequel came out and you had the opposite reaction? That’s what we’re looking at next on Bad Books, Good Times: what makes a sequel go bad. Ariel recently read Sarah J Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses and […]

I’m so excited to quickly blog about a book that I really enjoyed! I get to make fun of silly parts AND talk about the parts I loved AND the parts that I’m still unsure about. It was a challenge to keep this post a manageable length when covering 5 chapters, but it was also […]
