This is a safe space, right? Because I’m about to get pretty honest and pretty darn nerdy. I am a musical theatre nerd. Super nerd. In general, I try to avoid letting folks know how much of one, because whooey do they snicker. I’ve re-watched the PBS history of Broadway with Julie Andrews more times then I can count, and still manage to learn something new. As also a lover of history, the idea of a new musical hip-hopera about a founding father? Yeah, last […]
A girl in pants romance!
So today was a lesson that I clearly need to re-learn regularly. When Mrs. J and Ellepkay recommend an author just go find them immediately. Carla Kelly, I now know what a treat you are! Miss Grimsley’s Oxford Career is the story of Ellen Grimsley, a studious young lady who dreams of learning and being more than a farmer’s wife. James Gatewood, Lord Chesney, is a studious young man who only has one year left at Oxford before accepting the responsibility of being a lord […]
A little coming of age tale that’s left me surprisingly cranky.
So does anyone else have favorite narrators for audiobooks? I’m sure folks do, and I have found for the ladies my favorite is Ms. Kirsten Potter. I first heard her do the Station Eleven audiobook, and since then I’ll listen to anything she reads. When she’s narrating a book that’s already on my TBR list? Dunzo. Brooklyn is the story of Ellis Lacey. Ellis is a young woman in small town Ireland with almost no prospects. When a kindly priest from Brooklyn offers to help her […]
Smugglers and torture and a menagerie of strays!
The second to last of the Survivor’s Club, and there’s only a couple of weeks till the final one is released! I’ve timed this all very well it turns out. These are survivors of the Napoleonic Wars (6 men, 1 woman), and they all have suffered greatly. This time around it’s the one woman, Imogen’s turn to find love. Imogen was married to Viscount Barclay and went off to war with him. She saw him tortured and die, and therefore has decided that she only […]
No more for the girl next door
I wasn’t particularly interested in this one when it first came out. I’ve only ever really seen Aziz on Parks&Rec, and I’m not a stand up comedy kind of gal usually so I didn’t know almost anything about his comedy. When I discovered, reading reviews of my fellow lovely Ballers, that is was actually a sociology book with some humor mixed in I was way more on board. Modern Romance came about from Aziz being curious about how people are finding each other in our […]
A Milan novella. What more do you need to know? Go read and enjoy!
Oh, Ms. Milan… when it comes to romance novellas you are the cream of the crop. I have not read the first book in this series yet, Once Upon a Marquess, but that doesn’t matter here. While you briefly visit the previous heroine, she’s not at all central to this story and it’s lovely leads. This time we have Daisy, a shopgirl with ambitions, and Crash, a bit of a bad boy, also with ambitions. These two met and fell in love before this story […]
