The Once & Future King – T.H. White

ImageJuly 9, 2021July 8, 2021 Tasheena RoseLeave a comment

Mythologies can be so deeply ingrained in our cultural zeitgeist that it’s hard to separate out the original from the adaptations. King Arthur is just one of those legends that I’ve always known and didn’t think too hard about the origin. Every year there’s a new piece of media that adds on to the story.  […]

Is Charlie in the car with a serial killer? In a desperate need to return home to Ohio from her New Jersey college Charlie decides to use the ride share board and meets Josh, a campus employee. In a haze of grief Charlie might’ve accepted a ride with the Campus Killer.  I was quickly on […]

Earthseed Series – Octavia Butler

ImageMay 20, 2021May 19, 2021 Tasheena RoseLeave a comment

All that you touch You Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth Is Change. God  Is Change. I put off reading Parable of the Sower because dystopian is a genre that I have a hard time reading. I’m already fighting off my pessimism about the future, I don’t need a constant […]

Slade House – David Mitchell

ImageFebruary 23, 2021 Tasheena Rose3 Comments

In my Hill House review I stated that I rarely reread books and of course, since I put that out into the universe, the fates aligned, and I’m now rereading my second book this month. I was in a pinch and Slade House fits the parameters I was shooting for with this month’s theme.  Every […]

Hell House – Richard Matheson

ImageFebruary 19, 2021February 18, 2021 Tasheena Rose1 Comment

For this month I was trying to find haunted house reads from the 20th century that had the gothic vibes. The Haunting of Hill House was the standard I was looking for, and I find it interesting that I ended up reading Hell House, a book heavily influenced by Hill House.  The line between homage […]

Swordheart – T. Kingfisher: Dual Journeys

ImageJanuary 26, 2021January 25, 2021 Tasheena RoseLeave a comment

When widow Halla comes into a major inheritance after the passing of her uncle-in-law, her other in-laws aren’t too thrilled about being skipped over. They end up locking Halla in her room until she agrees to marry her brother-in-law. Halla is about to take a drastic measure when she draws an old sword and a […]

Classics Club: The Witches – Roald Dahl

ImageOctober 14, 2020October 13, 2020 Tasheena Rose2 Comments

I don’t know why or how but when I was eight years old I saw the 1990 horror movie, The Witches. It was supposed to be for kids, but the imagery and effects were so disturbing at some points that I still remember the terror I felt. Even now, as an adult, the practical effects […]

Wrap-Up: A Quick Review of Dawn by Octavia Butler

ImageSeptember 30, 2020September 29, 2020 Tasheena Rose2 Comments

I’m shocked by how quickly this month has gone by and that October is tomorrow. Since March I have felt like time has slowed down, and I’m liking the normalcy it brings, just wish this month wasn’t so chaotic. I was able to get the reading I wanted done for my First Contact month, I […]

The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu

ImageSeptember 17, 2020September 16, 2020 Tasheena Rose3 Comments

“It was impossible to expect a moral awakening from humankind itself, just like it was impossible to expect humans to lift off the earth by pulling up on their own hair. To achieve moral awakening required a force outside the human race.”   Before I started The Three Body Problem I prepared myself for a hard-core […]

Review: Rosemary’s Baby – Ira Levin

ImageOctober 25, 2019October 24, 2019 Tasheena Rose2 Comments

Being pregnant is supposed to be a joyous time, right? Rosemary is trying to enjoy her new life at a swank exclusive apartment, along with the excitement of becoming a new mom. But everything around her is off. Between her husband’s changed behavior, suffocating neighbors, and a series of unfortunate events, Rosemary starts to piece […]
