It's A Binary World 2.0

Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is my second time reading the book. Dropped the rating from 5/5 stars to 3/5 stars. On this second time reading through the Discworld books, I’ve come to realize that I really prefer the Witch books to the Rincewind/Wizard books. Usually (or at […]

Nightmare Magazine, Issue 126, March 2023 by Wendy N. Wagner My rating: 4 of 5 stars A great selection of stories this month! Here are my reviews per story: The Dizzy Room (Kristina Ten): While I didn’t have the ESL issues the main character has, I definitely got my first computer around the same time. […]

Lightspeed Magazine, Issue 103, December 2018 by John Joseph Adams My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was an awesome issue of Lightspeed magazine where I really enjoyed every story. I was especially happy to find out that I started out my Lightspeed magazine subscription with this issue because for the next 5 issues they […]

Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree My rating: 5 of 5 stars I read this book along with the Sword and Laser group on Goodreads as the April 2023 book pick. I’m glad this ended up being the pick. That said, this is probably going to be a very divisive book. It’s a book in […]

When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain by Nghi Vo My rating: 5 of 5 stars I got this book for free from the Tor.com ebook club Once again Vo creates a novella from The Singing Hills Cycle that I had so much trouble putting down. Vo expands the world a little more as Chih […]

The Story Behind: The Extraordinary History Behind Ordinary Objects by Emily Prokop My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’ve always liked books, articles, and podcasts about little trivia like this. There are so many objects in our world and they each have a history! We often gloss over those things that have existed since we […]

Super Power, Spoony Bards, and Silverware: The Super Nintendo Entertainment System by Dominic Arsenault My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is written at the level of a college paper with lots of footnotes, citations, etc. There are even some sections of chapters that get into some heavy terminology that didn’t really mean anything […]

Nightmare Magazine, Issue 125 by Wendy N. Wagner My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another issue of Nightmare Magazine I bought to read and discuss with the wife. I bought it thinking she’d prefer Who The Final Girl Becomes (having only read the synopsis), but our favorite ended up being Home. Who the final girl […]

Spelunky by Derek Yu My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have enjoyed many of the books in the Boss Fight Books series. They’re each unique in their own way, but this is the only one (that I know of) written by the creator of the game. It was fascinating to read Yu’s thought process […]

Rupert Wong, Cannibal Chef by Cassandra Khaw My rating: 4 of 5 stars I bought this book as part of a story bundle collection. I haven’t read any of the other books in the “Gods and Monsters” universe, but (as one of the ads at the back of the book says) it’s somewhat similar to […]
