I need to write a bunch of reviews of other people’s books as well. Tomorrow. Maybe, and always, tomorrow.
Month: October 2018
I will be at the Dartmouth Book Exchange on October 13 (tomorrow!) from one to four to talk to you all about my middle-grade or adult-who-likes-to-read-middle-grade novel Enid Strange.
Stop by! Buy a book (mine or another one)! Have fun at a bookstore on a Saturday afternoon!
Can I just write sideboob and leave it at that.
Perhaps in an apocalyptic-everything-going-to-shit scenario woman just don’t have time to put on bras? And also have to be drawn at such an angle that we can all see the lack of bra?
Luckily there is still time to get all your clothing perfectly tailored and your hair done.
And either all women in this universe have gotten exact-same-shaped boobs through state-sponsored surgery or there’s a factory somewhere pumping out one-off form fitting tactical gear for each person.
Plus your boobs look amazing, and somehow they also grow bigger, if you look down at them from above.
Sigh.
If you can hold your gag reflex back to get past the extraordinarily sexist drawing of the characters, the story isn’t bad — an ultra-violence, nano-technology, X-men-esque shoot-em-up. But really, if I hadn’t had to review this, I would have tossed this aside around no-bra-levitation-tits on page 18 and called it a day.
Failsafe by F. J. DeSanto went on sale June 26, 2018.
I received a copy free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
It’s a listicle of a book: little bits of somewhat scientifically studied wisdom on how to be happier.
Could I tell you any one of the suggestions at this specific point in time after reading it? No.
Was there a detailed bibliography of the studies and articles that Palmer took these happiness tips from at the end? Yes. Does well documenting your sources make me happy? Yes. So one happiness hack at least succeeded, with regards to me.

Remember a long time ago when I used to write short stories?
Guess what?
I still do!
L is available today at Space Squid (scroll down about 1/3 of the page).
So, like the title says, someone reviewed my book! Exciting!
