3.5 Stars Act Like It by Lucy Parker was quite a popular book last year. Personally, it was one of my favorites of the year and I’ve now read and reread it at least half a dozen times. It was light and fun and pretty much everything I was looking for in a romance. When Ms. Parker’s next book was announced I obviously pre ordered right away. And then it came in early on my Kindle on Monday. Luc Savage is theatre-ish royalty in London. […]
A Crown of Bitter Indifference
So my latest romance read has taken me weeks. Weeks of boredom. Thankfully Malin reminded us CBR Romancers that the new Lucy Parker comes out next week (which I preordered months ago). All this is to say it gave me finally the motivation to finish this snore fest so I’m ready to go for Tuesday! A Crown of Bitter Orange is the latest in Laura Florand’s La Vie en Rose series. It’s the only one I’ve read in this series so far, and it’s the […]
The Obelisks are so much cooler than previously thought!
Oh my goodness gang! Ms. Jemisin knocks it out of the park yet again. You know how in a lot of trilogies you assume the second book is just filler, getting everyone in place for the final act so you don’t really read it as closely? Yeah, that doesn’t happen here. This one is just as good, and arguably better than The Fifth Season. Spoilers abound below folks. Go read both first. I’ll wait, and then we can all wait impatiently for the final installment […]
Hidden Heroes of History
When it comes to nonfiction I prefer history and I prefer female centered stories most of the time (hence why my husband calls me a feminazi, he doesn’t actually know he’s a feminist even though I regularly explain that yes he is). So a book about awesome women in history related to the field I work in? Sign me up! Hidden Figures covers the work done by black female “computers” during the 1940’s – 1960’s at Langley first with the NACA and then NASA. Ms. […]
Good God What is This Piece of Sh*t?!
It appears that 2017 is the year that I feel contrary to everyone and everything. For the most part I have enjoyed Ms. Bowen’s books. She’s written some real keepers. She has also written some garbage (side-eyeing you The Fifteenth Minute). I’ve only read one of Ms. Kennedy’s, and it was okay but not memorable. Together they have written Him, Us, and now Good Boy. Him was excellent, Us was okay, and I’m about to release some ire on Good Boy. Good Boy is the […]
The Mother of Fantasy
Oh my goodness gang, I haven’t even started the book club selection for fantasy, but it should have been this one. It’s a little long, but it’s Oh. So. Good. I’ve heard of N.K. Jemisin for a few years, and have been wanting to give her fantasy a try as that’s a genre I’m trying to give a chance right now. Enter an audible sale, a holiday break, and then not wanting it to end so I slowed down my listening. The Fifth Season begins […]
