Wendi Aarons — I’m Wearing Tunics Now (Audiobook Review)

by Barbara the Bibliophage | Nov 15, 2022 | RELAX: Memoir

Wendi Aarons is a blogger, humorist, mom, and unabashed woman over 50. The recently published memoir, I’m Wearing Tunics Now: On Growing Older, Better, and a Hell of a Lot Louder, is an excursion into her Austin, Texas, life. It’s also laugh-out-loud funny, especially...

Bianca Marais — The Witches of Moonshyne Manor (Book Review)

by Barbara the Bibliophage | Oct 10, 2022 | RELAX: Fantasy, Horror, Sci-Fi

Bianca Marais creates a feminist witch story for the 21st century in The Witches of Moonshyne Manor. It’s about a group of 80-something witches trying to reverse events from thirty years ago. And they’re also trying to save their property from being bought by a bunch...

David Sedaris — The Best of Me (Book Review)

by Barbara the Bibliophage | Nov 30, 2021 | RELAX: Memoir

David Sedaris is a new author for me, and his 2020 compilation, The Best of Me, was the perfect place to start. He introduced me to his family, his outlook on life, his writing style, and the general ethos of his audience. And yes, I laughed plenty. A few tears fell...

Hope Rides Again: Obama Biden Mysteries #2 by Andrew Shaffer (Book Review)

by Barbara the Bibliophage | Nov 23, 2020 | RELAX: Mystery-Thriller

Starting Hope Rides Again: Obama Biden Mysteries #2 by Andrew Shaffer right after Election Day was celebratory. And more than a little bittersweet. With Joe Biden now the U.S. President-Elect Shaffer most likely won’t write another of these quirky mysteries. At least...

Book Review: You Suck by Christopher Moore

by Barbara the Bibliophage | Jun 3, 2020 | RELAX: Fantasy, Horror, Sci-Fi

Well, I just feel silly reviewing a vampire book by Christopher Moore this week. I could point you towards social and racial justice reading suggestions. Or maybe diving into my advanced readers’ copy of Mychal Denzel Smith’s upcoming release is an idea. But, as it...

Book Review: Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson

by Barbara the Bibliophage | Apr 2, 2020 | RELAX: Other Relaxation

Dear Kevin Wilson: Thank you for giving me something to laugh at while on lock down in my house. Nothing to See Here offered me hours of escape, into the world of kids who catch on fire and the pliable definitions of parental love and family. It was a life saver for a...

Book Review: Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer

by Barbara the Bibliophage | Oct 29, 2018 | RELAX: Mystery-Thriller

Hope Never Dies from Andrew Shaffer was my antidote to last week’s fear and tragedy. It’s both mystery and humor, featuring fictional versions of Joe Biden and Barack Obama. If you like all the memes that feature the imagined tomfoolery of those two, you’ll enjoy this...
