Lenni Reviews: “Call of the Night” Vol. 15, by Kotoyama
*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
While on the school trip, Ko’s classmate Saki is attacked by Haruka, a vampire, and Ko goes to rescue her. Meanwhile, Mahiru makes the final preparations before Kiku turns him.
With Haruka added to the roster, we’ve got a lot of characters and a web of connections between Kiku and Nazuna’s mother. And since the entire point of this trip was to find Mahiru, we got some time with him and Kiku along with some insight into Kiku’s motivations. No spoilers but I’m uncertain about how I feel about what was presented as an explanation but maybe more will be added later to justify to me the ruin Kiku has left in her wake. 3.9 out of 5.Â
NYCC 2023 Recap
Once again, I managed to make it through all four days of the con. I’m in the last picture as Loona and my kid is the bleach eyes guy from Call of Duty. Not many people recognized who I was but it was really cool when they did.
While I did cosplay, I was there for work. I found it both cool and sad that there was so many panels and discussions around book bans and challenges. On the upside, this means that for all the noise, there are more people against bans than for them and the respect for librarians and educators deal with all this is clear. It can feel like our job is thankless sometimes and it was so nice to hear that there are at least some people out there that have our backs.
I did manage not to spend a ton of money; which is good since I’m stretched to the limit these days. But, I am pumped and redoubling my efforts to put out tons more content and goods!
Lenni Reviews: “Lovesick” by Luana Vecchio
*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review. Trigger warning for nudity, sex, and gore. 18+
Domino is a popular dominatrix on the dark web red rooms but her infamy puts a target on her back and the demented little world she’s created may fall apart, robbing her of her ultimate dream: to be cannibalized.
This is a fucking brutal ride. It’s the type of media that I struggle to say I liked or enjoyed it, due to the content but I couldn’t stop reading it. The whole thing is about people who get off on the thought of being killed and eaten and the people who organize events to make that happen so they can consume human flesh. Content warning for blood, guts, sex, violence, maybe grooming… Just don’t read it if anything about killing and eating people triggers you. The art has a perverse beauty to it at times and does not shy away from the visceral details of the subject matter. 4 out of 5.

BookExpo 2019 Day 3!
Alright, I’ve hit exhaustion. The last two days, I’ve passed out before I could even pull the covers over myself and today, I sacked out on the couch for an hour before making dinner.
Loving these little reminders that I’m 38 and not 28…
Anyways, tomorrow I hit up BookCon and see what I can get my hands on and that’s all for me before I head back to the library. I signed up to work this Sunday so I’ll be missing that day. But I plan to make the most of Saturday! The kiddo will be with me.
Her young legs and back can help this old lady out.
Lenni Reviews: “No Way Out” by Julie Lynn Hayes

*This book was sent to me in exchange for an honest review and is rated 18+
While house-sitting for a friend of his mentor, Wyatt Findley sees Shylor Lind washing a car across the street and is immediately attracted. The problem is Shylor is a slave to Randy Grant; an abusive dom who keeps Shy as a broken prisoner to his every twisted whim and has done so since Shylor was a child. In the sparse moments they meet, Shy comes to care for Wyatt but does he possess the strength to defy his awful master?
This is another book I’ve read lately that comes with a smattering of trigger warnings; although most of the really icky non-consensual elements are done “off screen.” You’re still dealing with a damaged man who is not willingly consenting to his dom.
Mild spoilers but while I may have enjoyed Shylor’s story arch and his relationship with Wyatt, it was odd for me to have such a dark story culminate in a such a neat and tidy ending. I expected Randy to exact terrible revenge but nope! He storms off never to be seen again. Shylor and Wyatt’s chemistry makes up for it though. 3.5 out of 5.
