Oh, Ms. MacLean. Sometimes I really enjoy your books. Mostly I like ‘em. And then sometimes I want to burn them to the ground. This one falls between liking and burning in a back alley trash can so it won’t be the most positive review. This is the story of Lillian Hargrove, ward of the Duke of Warnick, and Alec, said duke. Alec learns of Lillian’s existence as his ward when his solicitor writes to tell him of the scandal she’s caused. Lillian was spending […]
Boom! Crash! Cannonball.
And with this I reach my Cannonball! I honestly never thought I’d be so fast (last year it took until December for me to reach it). Now I can take slow down a little and pick up a few of the longer books I have waiting next to my bed (and on my audible playlist). There’s a fair amount of you around these parts that read The Dresden Files, and the audio as well is super popular. It came up on sale on audible, and […]
A Deep Cut of a Mary Balogh
So the book I’ve been reading is currently making me very cranky. I don’t like the way it’s going, so I went looking for a little palate cleanser while I contemplate whether I’ll finish the other or not. Enter a cheap Balogh romance. Usually perfect to while away a few hours on. Ms. Balogh has been writing romances for longer than I’ve been alive. There’s a lot. Recently a publisher worked with her to release a whole bunch of her back catalog from the 80’s […]
Have fun storming the castle!
To say I’m a Princess Bride fan is putting it lightly. I have no clue how many times I’ve seen the movie (I still re-watch it at least once a year). I’ve read William Goldman’s book on more than one occasion. So when the audible daily deal was As You Wish by Cary Elwes talking about the making of said beloved film I scooped it right up. I mean our wedding ceremony started with, “Mawage, mawage is what bwings us togethew today.” This is a […]
A surprising amount of snuggles
So I read Act Like It earlier this year, thanks to a bajillion rave reviews, and became one of the herd proclaiming its greatness. When Malin then posted a review of The Hating Game, dubbing it the next Act Like It. Boom. Purchased. Boom. Read in about 6 hours of glee. It literally felt like I was reading a romantic comedy. I could see actors already in their roles on the big screen. And that’s okay sometimes. It was just what I needed. Lucy Hutton […]
Growing up Texas
So this is yet another great read thanks to all of you lovelies. I would never in a million years have picked this one up, but when y’all keep raving I reconsider (as long as it’s not horror, I don’t do horror). The audiobook version is great, and I was immensely entertained for a few days in the car. This is the story of Willowdean Dixon. Willowdean is a teenager in small town Texas just trying to make it through high school. She has a […]
