A pop culture junkie, Katie has an addiction to tragically bad romance novels. In addition, Katie is resolute in her belief that Evans is #BestChris and doesn't understand why people live where it snows. That shit is terrifying.

Pucking Wrong about sums it up

The Pucking Wrong Man by C.R. Jane

by 1 Comment

The Pucking Wrong Man is C.R. Jane’s fourth installment in her Pucking Wrong series, and it is all kinds of messed up as indicated by the title. Trigger Warnings of all kinds should be observed when it comes to this series, but especially this book. You may be asking yourself, “Katie, why are you reading this if you know it’s a walking trigger warning?” Which, completely justified. Let me share a brief synopsis and then we’ll get into the cringe-y stuff. Camden James is 31 and […]

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

The Black Bird Oracle by Deborah Harkness

by Leave a Comment

Deborah Harkness has come up with new challenges for Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont in The Black Bird Oracle, Book Five in her best-selling All Souls series. Fans of the first four installments will absolutely enjoy this one, but it is definitely an installment and not a stand alone in a series. New readers need to be encouraged to go back and start with the first installment, A Discovery of Witches, because there is a LOT of world building that you’re kind of expected to already know. The […]

You’ll never look at a cinnamon roll the same way

Off Sides by Andi Jaxon

by 2 Comments

I really enjoyed Andi Jaxon’s Off Sides. It is a MM stand-alone in her Darby U universe. It is not necessary for you to have read her other Darby U books, but it would probably help you understand what is going on with the peripheral characters. (It actually makes me think of EL James’ Grey series, in that you’re seeing a lot of the same events, just through a different lived experience. The difference being that this one is actually well written.) Nick and Joey […]

Quick Questions with a Cannonballer: elisamaza76

by 16 Comments

Hi, elisamaza76! Can you tell us a little about your screen name and where it came from? A couple of these answers are not so quick. I mean, I’ll do my best, but YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID! Username: Well, “1000 years ago, superstition and the sword ruled…” Just kidding. My username is an homage to one of the best characters ever, from one of the best shows ever: NYPD Detective Elisa Maza from Gargoyles, a cartoon that aired as (sort of) part of the […]

Just when you think you know everything…

The Girl From Guernica by Karen Robards

by Leave a Comment

I don’t recall why any longer, but the other day something sent me down a Kindle rabbit hole search for a specific Karen Robards book. There was a point in time when Ms. Robards was an automatic purchase for me – if I saw a new book on the rack at the grocery store or at Barnes & Noble, in the basket it went. Like many authors from the late 90s and early aughts for which I had this habit, she kind of fell off […]

An easily accessible Game of Thrones with more dragons

Dragon Found by Sam Hall

Dragon Fight by Sam Hall

by Leave a Comment

As I was reading two why choose fantasy romances by Sam Hall, Dragon Found and Dragon Fight, I was struck by the depth of the world building that went on. It was apparent that Hall has spent considerable time mapping out the history and culture of the land they are writing about, and that they really spent time fleshing out their characters (which, honestly, were tropes, but well done ones). The inevitable comparison is obviously Game of Thrones, but with more sex and dragons. It’s […]
