The Snarky Women's Guide to Modern Literature

A club of folks who read and review books we loathed, devoured or could not finish.

The reviewers are narcissistic and prone to PMS. You may find inane commentary, sarcastic maneuvering, hostile retorts, some bitch slapping, and lots of vodka induced posts.

Our Motto:
Some people avoid book clubs that behave like soap operas, we buy tickets to them.

P.S. If you don't want spoilers, move along.

Summer designs

I have been fortunate not to read any silly books this summer.
Therefore, nothing to report.
I would like to take the time to write about one of my favorite authors.

Leslie Esdaile Banks

I read two of her series the Vampire Huntress and the Crimson Moon. I loved both of them. The first for the diversity of religions and people of color. The Crimson Moon series because she reinvented the werewolf genre with her characters. I loved all of them.

Yummy Carlos
Max Hunter yummier

Check out the books for yourself

You will enjoy the way she creates her worlds
How she respects and pays homage to major religions of the world
How she make you use Google and Wikipedia to follow the action
How she imagines her worlds and the diversity of the people in it
How she re imaged paranormal romance and science fiction with brown, yellow and black characters

Good bye L. A. Banks
I hope that you inspired the next generation of Black female Science Fiction and Paranormal Romance authors.

    I've never read her but now you've 'hooked' me (uggg, I know). Everything sounds good except for the need to use Google and Wikipedia to follow the action. That seems like work.
