My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've been looking forward to getting my hands on this book since it was first announced. The fact Amazon Australia decided to take forever to send it out was super annoying, but as soon as it arrived I was itching to start.

The premise of this book is awesome. What happens to final girls when they grow up? Are they able to move on and wear the scars of their near-death experience in a way that allows them to get on with their li...

LOW MIDNIGHT by Carrie Vaughn

 

Low Midnight by Carrie Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've had my eye on the next Kitty Norville book for several weeks. Not just because it's the 13th installment in the series, but also because it's about the very mysterious Cormac Bennett.

Cormac's finally a free man. He has his papers and he's ready to get on with his life. Well, a shared life with the spirit of Amelia. And together they're going to help Kitty decode a text that will hopefully provide the answers they need to save the world fr...

THE MENOPAUSE MANIFESTO by Dr Jen Gunter

 

The only thing predictable about menopause is its unpredictability. Factor in widespread misinformation, a lack of research, and the culture of shame around women's bodies, and it's no wonder women are unsure what to expect during the menopause transition and beyond.
Menopause is not a disease - it's a planned change, like puberty. And just like puberty, we should be educated on what's to come years in advance, rather than the current practice of leaving people on their own with bothersome sympt...
