Solid Romance About Sisters

The Summer of Sunshine and Margot by Susan Mallery

May 24, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book for free via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on June 11, 2019. Well that was actually a good read compared to the other two books I finished this weekend. There were some weak subplots going on, but I did love the two sisters (Sunshine and Margot) relationship. For once we didn’t get very little scenes with people who are related. These two depend on each other and love each […]

Feminism is the New F Word

We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

May 17, 2019 by Classic 7 Comments

Wow. What a good time for me to read this. Because right now in our country we are doing the most to “other” women. That somehow women are less than at all times. There are more women in the world, yet how many women are CEOs of fortune 500 countries? How many women are current leaders in government? How many women have become President of these United States? You would think at times that the U.S. for being that shining light in the darkness would […]

Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive by Stephanie Land

May 17, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

This was a tough book to get through. Reading about Stephanie Land’s experiences of trying to parent her daughter while dealing with being homeless and broke was eye-opening. The main reason why I didn’t give this five stars though is that I wish that Land had touched more upon on how the country looks down upon those that they see as stealing (immigrants) are just lazy and don’t want to work (POC). She brings it up here and there about how terribly she sees other […]

Wow. Not in a Good Way.

Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs

So. I initially was just going to give this three stars and move along. However, after thinking it through this morning, this book honestly doesn’t deserve 3 stars (okay). This book’s pacing was off, there was about zero character development, too much repetition, and I think at one point I even said to myself that this book was just filler. It’s a book to bridge to the next Alpha/Omega book or the next Mercy Thompson. The book synopsis on this one sounded so bad ass […]

Called Every Plot Element, But This One Holds Up Better Than “Behind Closed Doors”

Bring Me Back by B. A. Paris

May 10, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

So going to flat out say this is much better than “Behind Closed Doors” or that book I referred to as when a woman keeps doing really dumb crap for no reason besides plot. “Bring Me Back” had an interesting plot, but what kept me interested were the characters. I didn’t really care for Layla or Finn, but did find the story engrossing. I was very disappointed by the ending, it didn’t really hold up with the rest of the book. “Bring Me Back” follows […]

Please Save me From White Savior Books

No Good Deeds by Laura Lippman

May 10, 2019 by Classic 2 Comments

SPOILERS BELOW ON BOOK. So I thought about trying to edit this to take out spoilers, but screw it, I am busy today and don’t have the time or energy. It didn’t help that I ended up straight disliking this book and loathing Tess’s boyfriend Crow. There was an interesting plot in there that the white savior crap got in the way of while I was reading. I think showcasing Crow’s POV actually made things worse. He’s a terrible ass boyfriend who resents Tess […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
