So Narfna reminded me that this series existed. I started the first one last year, but set it down X months ago. When she said the third made her swoon, I decided to skip ahead to see what all the fuss was about. Thankfully I joined right in. Kate is the daughter of a disinherited earl’s son for marrying an actress. He now works as a barrister and is quite happy in his life, even though it’s not what it was expected to be. Nick […]
A historical romance with sensible people, lovely!
So I can’t remember the last time I picked up a physical book and actually finished reading it. I have, let’s call her, an “aggressive reader” who’s just graduating from board books to paper pages. She is beyond fascinated with Mommy’s books, and is ready to read them and abuse the heck out of them. As a non-spine breaker, it makes my soul hurt to see her grab books. But she’s getting better! So when I saw that my library didn’t have a waitlist for […]
We’re Going to Need More Wine (And a Bucket to Hold My Tears from Laughing and Crying)
I’ve loved Gabrielle Union since 10 Things I Hate About You. I was the perfect age when it came out, and my friends and I as teenagers rented it from Blockbuster over and over and over again. I’ve always had such a soft spot for her, and have been thrilled that she’s had steady work for most of her career. I listened to this audiobook in less than 2 days. It’s sooooooo good. Everyone go get it. Gabrielle Union reads it. I’ll wait. It’s Gabrielle […]
A Romance with Real People
2017 was not a good year for romance. Pretty Face by Lucy Parker was by far the best, and while I read a bunch, I literally couldn’t tell you a single thing about most of them. And on top of that I had major issues with Pretty Face and the boss/subordinate romance. But then Hate to Want You was recommended by both Emmalita and Malin. And then it went on ebook sale. So here we are. Hate to want You is a second chance romance. […]
Can You Have PTSD Flashbacks to Grad School?
So I finished this audiobook a week ago, and even though I usually try to review immediately (hence my 6 months I hate the world review hiatus last year) I still need to confront this one. Hope Jahren is a biology research professor. This is both a memoir and a love story to plants and the world. It is read by the author. It is open and honest about so much, while at the same time glossing over so much more. She begins with where […]
A beautiful Marilyn biography
Full disclosure I received this from fellow Cannonballer Xoxoxoe as she frickin’ wrote/drew this. How cool is that?! All thoughts and opinions though are my own, but I’ll start with this one is definitely staying on my bookshelf. There’s not much to plot here, it’s a biography of Marilyn Monroe. We start with Norma Jean and work our way through to the end of her too short life. I really enjoy history, and especially Hollywood history (the podcast You Must Remember This is amazing y’all […]
