Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews
I have read the entire Kate Daniels series and used to have reviews for it back in the day on Amazon. Deleted and moved on. But I also decided to do a re-read a while back that I stopped because I forgot how much the earlier books were just not that great. And yeah this one, was not that great. Thank God the latter books in the series kicked butt and I absolutely love the spin offs to this series. We have Kate still feeling […]
50 Harbor Street by Debbie Macomber
Bless, I used to gobble these books down like chocolates back in the day. It was just so comforting to check in with the residents of Cedar Cove. My re-reads haven’t been that great though. This at least took my mind off of anything pressing and I just went with it though I thought the plot was way too obvious. I forgot about the whole thing with Linette and Cal dating. I do think this was the beginning of me not really loving the series […]
The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher
I did not think it was humanly possible for me to not love something by T. Kingfisher, but here it is. This got recommended to me by a few people after I loved “What Moves the Dead.” I can honestly say I was not feeling this one. It dragged so much. Took me a week plus to finish it because it was just not holding my interest. I gave up understanding anything and just adored Foxy, Skip, and Tomas though. “The Twisted Ones” follows a […]
Christmas Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
August 23, 2022 review: I swear, I do love Christmas romance books. No idea why. Probably all of those Hallmark movies or something. But this re-read was pretty dry and I just got through it quickly. I have been reading this series since I was in my 20s and Becky is still acting like a whole ass mess. She stopped being “twee” for me several books ago. I just happened to remember I had this one and decided to read it for a book bingo […]
Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella
August 23, 2022 review: I only did this re-read since it fit a bingo book category. I really didn’t like it the first time I read it, and I liked it even less on my second read through as well. I think it just was all over the place and the “romance” was not even central to the story. I just found the main hero to be another blander version of the character of Luke Brandon from the “Shopaholic” series. Original review: Updated: December 2019: […]
The Day is Dark by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
I thought “The Day is Dark” was very well done. I honestly didn’t know who did what to whom and I loved the different things that were going on and finding out what happened to each character. And I did love that science in the end is explaining what is happening to some of the people in the village, but the villagers took it as a different thing which played into their own mythos. Thora is feeling bored and gets the opportunity to work with […]
