Lying’s a family trait. It just means you belong.
The Earl Who Isn't by Courtney Milan
This is my 1000th post from CBR6-CBR16. Amazing. Not my 1000th review, because I’ve posted a lot of challenge and diversion posts over the years too. I loved The Earl Who Isn’t. I had to lie down and process my emotions more than once while reading. I’m not going to get into the specifics, because that would spoil the emotional journey for those who haven’t read it yet. Courtney Milan is such a lovely author. I know when I open one of her books that […]

The Dead Cat Tail Assassins by P. Djèlí Clark
If you haven’t read P. Djèlí Clark yet, you are denying yourself some of the finest fantasy writing currently available. As he proved in one of my all time favorite novellas, A Dead Djinn in Cairo, he can build a whole world with just a few details. In The Dead Cat Tail Assassins, he has left au earth and has built a whole new world in the port city of Tal Abisi. I don’t feel like I should tell you much about the plot. The […]
If you’re reading this letter, then I am quite dead, my dear. Dead, but not resting.
Jewel Me Twice by Charish Reid
Jewel Me Twice is like the old Reese’s Peanut Butter cup tag line. “Two great tastes that taste great together.” It combines two of my favorite things, a heist romance written by one of my auto-buy authors, Charish Reid. I liked Charish Reid from the first page of The Write Escape, and have enjoyed all of her books. I love the characters she writes and the relationships she builds with them. As a side note, I got into a conversation about Charish Reid’s heroines, and […]
