Hiya, it's WhaleSnark! Here are things I have been reading and doing during my Work From Home life. I love the horror graphic novels of Emily Carroll. She is a brilliant storyteller and artist. She wrote Through the Woods, which has a very limited color scheme that really adds to the drama of her work. Right now, several of her works are available on GumRoad, a website that caters to small independent artists getting their work out into the world. The first one is called Mona, and it costs £2.50 https://gumroad.com/l/monabasic The other, Beneath the Dead Oak Tree, is available for free right now due to the COVID-19 outbreak. https://gumroad.com/l/XpFfX Both are excellent for late-night-by-candlelight reading. Being spooky isn't just reserved for the autumn months. Now let me throw one more wicked awesome webcomic at you! Tiger, Tiger, by Petra Nordlund. https://www.tigertigercomic.com/tiger-tiger/001 Synopsis: Tiger, Tiger is a sto...
Y'all ready for this? I first heard about this rather ludicrous series at the "Bananas Books" panel hosted by Sarah MacLean and Sophie Jordan at this year's KissCon (which just wrapped in Chicago two weeks ago and guys, it was amazing, I'll tell you about it later.) One of the series someone brought up was the Ice Planet Barbarians series by Ruby Dixon. I'd never heard of it before. Frankly, the covers are amaze-bad. (See: lady about to give a giant blue man a blowjob.) The basic premise of the series is this: A bunch of (gorgeous, thin, supermodel-esque) women all get abducted by aliens (???) and somehow (I don't know, I only read book 7) end up on this Hoth-like ice planet that is also inhabited by a race of caveman-like blue humanoid aliens who also have giant devil horns, and basically look like steroid-ridden cave men with giant blue dicks. Bananas, right? It gets better. In order to survive on the planet, everyone has to have a "khui...
Heated Rivalry - Rachel Reid I stumbled across this book as I do so many of my books these days, our fellow tank mate Elley told me about it. A m/m hockey romance with an enemies to lovers subplot? Yes please! Literally all I did this morning was read this book and make an enormous pot of soup, which I then ate while continuing to read this book. It was deeeelightful. Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy is always going to be the quintessential hockey boys falling in love novel for me, because it's so damn perfect, but Heated Rivalry comes in a very close second now. It's book 2 in the Game Changers series. Book one (aptly called Game Changer ) seems to be about a hockey player (Scott Hunter - he makes very brief appearances in this book) who falls in love with a barista, but they have to keep it on the DL because of "hockey-is-homophobic' reasons. This one doesn't appeal to me much because it sounds like the MCs are in love right away and the only th...
