Polyesque's Reviews:

Polyamory (and so much more!) in Pictures

by 2 Comments

Fair warning: I’m going to pepper this review with a few actual strips from Kimchi Cuddles, because pictures are awesome and I love being able to use the actual author/artist’s art to drive a point home.  That being said, here; have a comic! Yup. Welcome to polyamory. I’ve been a practicing polyamorist for close to 15 years now and this might just be my favorite book on the subject. And that’s saying something because while there aren’t nearly as many books on the subject as […]

The Book MY Younger Self Could’ve Used in My First Poly Relationship

Well, hell. This was a deceptive little book. It looks pretty slim and comes in at a scant 140 pages, which, I mean…after reading the unabridged Les Miserablès is downright tiny.

Which, for anyone familiar with polyamory, is…pretty much […]

She opens with a quote from Theodore Roosevelt’s speech “Citizenship in a Republic” that explains where she got the idea for the title of the book: It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where […]

Another way to go back to Stars Hollow

Did you know Netflix and DVDs are not the only way to get a Gilmore Girls fix? That’s right…there are BOOKS. Now, before you get too excited, there aren’t many (four, to be exact), they focus on the first/second seasons before the show had really found its legs, and as such, they have nothing to do with the reboot that got GG fans all in a tizzy and has officially started shooting! Anyhoo, I’ve been a diehard Gilmore Girls fan for years now and don’t […]
