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.

Let’s talk about it

Hunted by a Shadow by Michelle Heard

by 2 Comments

Michelle Heard’s Hunted by a Shadow is her third installment in her Mafia Kings series. It’s a stand alone dark Mafia romance, and boy, is it dark. I’m writing this review as I watch the Super Bowl in overtime. I’ve kinda gotten bored with the game – I mean, I was only watching for the commercials and celebrity sightings, particularly everyone’s favorite football couple. No, not Taylor and Travis. I’m talking about the Kuches*. They are freaking adorable, and I kinda need that in my […]

Salt Kiss by Sierra Simone

by 2 Comments

If you’ve read Sierra Simone’s New Camelot series, her new novel is probably going to feel familiar to you. It’s called Salt Kiss and is set in the same world as New Camelot. (There is reference to two characters from that series, but it is not at all necessary for you to have read it to follow this book.) If you’re at all familiar with Simone, you already know to check the trigger warnings. They’re needed for this novel as well. With the exception of […]

58th Verse, same as…

Random in Death (In Death #58) by J. D. Robb

by 6 Comments

J. D. Robb is back with the 58th installment of her long-running In Death series, Random in Death. For those of you who don’t know, Robb is the nom de plume that Nora Roberts uses to write futuristic mysteries. We are getting uncomfortably close to the time when a lot of bad stuff happens in her timeline, and I sometimes wonder just how prescient she has been. But that’s a discussion for another time and place. If you are a longtime reader of the series, you will […]

Sound financial advice from your favorite Punk Rock Girl

I Survived Capitalism and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt by Madeline Pendleton

by Leave a Comment

Like any other day, I was scrolling through TikTok, watching dog rescue videos and clips of that lumberjack with the tattoos. This punk rock girl with blue hair and safety pin earrings came across my screen. She was talking about how everyone at her business makes the same thing, even her. I was very intrigued. It was an immediate follow. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRc7SCwp/ Her name is Madeline Pendleton. She is the founder and owner of Tunnel Vision, a website offering a line of really cute punk/emo friendly […]

Sigh. Scent memories are real, y’all.

Claimed by JR Ward

by 4 Comments

If you are a long time reader and/or participant in Cannonball Read, you may remember that Phatty and I reviewed several of JR Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood (BDB) series as PattyKates. (No, I’m not making fun of Patty. Ward likes to add the letter H randomly to names to make them edgy or something.) Unfortunately, we experienced diminishing returns with her books. We loved the first couple. Really liked the next two or three. Then quickly tired of the trauma, brand name dropping, grunting and […]

Inconceivable, or I do not think that word means what you think it means

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha

by 4 Comments

Kit Rocha’s Consort of Fire has done something really well: it has hit that sweet spot between a really well-envisioned fantasy world and romance. Queer romance at that. You could pick it up for either of those genres and be completely satisfied. The fact that it does justice to both is proof that the two authors behind the pseudonym of Kit Rocha are the real deal. Consort of Fire has done an excellent job of introducing us to this fantasy world where the Gods and […]
