Fairies, A Forest, and A Knight

The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black

July 12, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Well there was just too much happening in this standalone. I loved the idea of a world where fairies stand alongside humans and magic is real. It was also interesting to hear how our history and music stayed the same so you get some funny pop-culture comments here and there. That said, Hazel and Ben were exhausting. Both of them obsessed with being in love and I just wanted to say good grief none of this is going to matter when you are older. I […]

A Fry Cook With Heart

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz

July 12, 2019 by Classic 2 Comments

I was in the mood for a long cry so I read this book. Yes, I know how that sounds, but it’s true. I first read Odd Thomas back in 2003 when it was first published. I had just moved to DC and was reeling from having to move after just burying my mother the month before. So reading this book I had no idea what was coming. Dean Koontz at that time was a comfort read for me. I loved to read his books […]

Runaway…

Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

Wow. So this book bounced all over the place and my brain still feels fizzy because there was a lot of things going on, but boy did I love this book! I loved Bernadette, Bee, their weird dog Ice Cream, and I loved the emails and letters between two women who I would have throttled if I ever met in real life (Audrey Griffin and Soo-Lin). This book was in parts funny and sad and back to funny again. I picked this because I wanted […]

Tan Rocks!

Naturally Tan by Tan France

So I have to admit something. Out of all of the Queer Eye guys, I love Tan the best. I just love his accent, his hair, and his delight he gets in clothes and helping others look their best and be comfortable with their bodies. I always hated clothes shopping with my mother because she loved to just plop me in anything that was pink with ruffles. I was her only girl and I got it, but good grief when I see pictures of me […]

I Got Nothing

Dear Haiti, Love Alaine by Maika Moulite

July 10, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on September 3, 2019. “Dear Haiti, Love Alaine” follows seventeen-year-old Haitian American Alaine. Alaine lives in Miami with her father and has a famous mother who is a reporter living in Washington, D.C. Alaine is what I think most people would call “too much.” She is definitely intelligent and it seems holds some pain over the fact that her mother is barely around due to her […]

Tried for a Love Potion No. 9 Vibe and Somehow Made it Worse

The Love Solution by Ashley Croft

July 10, 2019 by Classic 2 Comments

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on August 15, 2019. FYI, I plan on using spoilers in this one because that is how aggravated I am by this whole book. Look away if you don’t want to be spoiled. “The Love Solution” follows sisters Sarah and Molly. The two of them are close after losing their parents in a car accident when they were younger. Sarah is trying to […]

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.
