Unpopular Opinions about Popular Fiction

All Are Welcome by Liz Parker

I was definitely excited when I read the summary for this book; a modern romance featuring the wedding of a lesbian couple?! Yes, please. I am craving a lot more diverse and realistically representative fiction in my life lately, and this seemed like a great option. It was suggested to me in one of my book services as a fun summer read. Well damn. I’m sorry to say it wasn’t fun at all. Not all of my books have to be fun, but good lord, […]

Pink Panties and Devilish Men

Wicked and the Wallflower by Sarah MacLean

Hoo boy, do I chuckle at my newfound shamelessness. Perhaps one of the best parts of being in my thirties is my solid belief that I just don’t GAF what anybody thinks about me anymore. And in that vein, I have unabashedly thrown myself into a semi-regular consumption of delightfully trashy romance novels! This book easily fits the bill, being a welcome, fun, mostly brainless/unrealistic but somehow sexy lil romp through fantasy land. The story features ridiculous characters, including a comically “plain” female lead […]

A Joyous Reintroduction to My True Love

Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty

Long ago, I accepted my own propensity for being terrible at doing certain things “on time.” Especially if it has to do with sending mail or letters, holidays, birthdays, cards, and actually writing things down… I will probably drag my feet, get wrapped up in emotions, focus too much on perfectionism, and fail at accomplishing my postal-related goals. Six Wakes was one of my beautiful, shiny, inspiring Xmas exchange gifts from MsWas. Guess who didn’t write a post when she got her box? Me. Shameful, […]

Only Certain Hearts are Bears

My Boyfriend is a Bear by Pamela Ribon and Cat Farris

January 10, 2019 by GoAllieGo 5 Comments

In my family, we use the term “bear” to denote a particular kind of person. Not everyone is a bear, though it’s certainly not something to engender jealousy. A bear is born a bear. Bears are dear people, sensitive souls, kind humans bordering on empaths. Bears are loyal, if not perhaps a little clannish at times. Bears may seem fierce in their daily lives, intimidating to some due to their great-big hearts which drive their great-big goals. But underneath the teeth and fluff lies an […]

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.
