A pop culture junkie, Katie's addiction to tragically bad romance novels is managed and supervised by Cricket, a 20lb. terrier mix. In addition, Katie is resolute in her belief that Evans is #BestChris and doesn't understand why people live where it snows. That shit is terrifying.

Ghostwriter, the pattern is full

Katie: Gentle Reader, for my fourth Cannonball (third as half of PattyKates), it is somehow fitting that our first review is a new release by none other than Kristen Ashley. It seems like an obvious choice in retrospect, but we were actually stumped about what it would be until we realized that she had recently released The Hookup, the start of her new Moonlight and Motor Oil series.   Summary: Eliza is a good girl and new to Matlock, Ky. As with many of KA’s […]

The things I do for my friends…

December 2, 2017 by katie71483 9 Comments

So, gentle reader, the target of my blinding rage this time is not Pattykins. I know. I’m surprised, too. Instead, it was caused by someone I used to think of as one of the best people I know. USED TO. It’s my fault, I suppose. I poked the bear by ranting about refusing to read Darker by E.L. James.

Toxic Masculinity Meets Estrogen Poisoning

October 21, 2017 by katie71483 4 Comments

Lord have mercy, do we have a treat for y’all.  Be forewarned, this review is going to be rife with gifs, memes, and spoilers because… you’ll see. It’s a doozy. The year is 2437. There are about 2 billion people left on earth after World War III (aka “The Toxic War”) which broke out in 2057 and lasted until 2060. At that point, women outnumbered men 26 to 1 and it was the general consensus that “male pride and aggression” caused the near destruction of […]

I feel like Alicia Silverstone in Clueless: Way harsh, Tai.

I was provided a copy of The Gloaming: Rise of the Stealth Vampire Elder by ML Worthingham free of charge in exchange for a fair and honest review. I was all… YES. FREE BOOK. WHAT ISN’T TO LIKE? Then I started actually reading the thing. The title should have been the first clue as to what I’d find, but honestly my mind was still stuck on “yay! Free book!” Doesn’t it sound like the title of an Edith Wharton novel or something? Or maybe a […]
