This was an overall interesting book full of conversations. It is not comedic itself but ABOUT comedy and the people who create it. So, if you’re going into the book expecting to laugh, you’re really setting both yourself and the book up for failure. This book isn’t for people looking for empty laughs, it’s for people looking to read sometimes very personal conversations about comedy behind the scenes, what it takes to do the work, how it effects comedians personally, what kind of person becomes […]
He vants to suck your blood.
This book is about evil. But it’s also tricksy. You might think going into the book that that evil will be contained in the form of our central, ancient vampire (the non-sparkly kind, thank you very much, and a true monster in the oldest sense of the term). And there is certainly evil in Kurt Barlow (if that’s even your real name, you son of a bitch), but he wouldn’t be nearly as frightening as he turns out to be if King hadn’t made the […]
Historical romance with a sassy barmaid.
I really, really liked this one. I think it’s right up at the top of my favorite Tessa Dare books, with A Week to Be Wicked and Romancing the Duke. Pauline is a barmaid in Spindle Cove. Griff is the eighth Duke of Halford (among other titles). They are about to meet cute. Griff has been essentially kidnapped by his mother and taken to Spindle Cove to pick a woman–any woman–to be his wife. She wants grandchildren, and she wants them now. Of course, she […]
But why is he shirtless? Scotland is COLD. And why does he have a tan? It’s cloudy there!
This book was sickeningly adorable, and dead sexy. You know, I can barely remember what it was like before I could read feminist romance novels. Like, back in the day when I would raid my mom’s illicit collection shoved in the back of her closet, it was all rapey and submissive and gross all up in every book, and ladies were always stuck in the same gross positions, never allowed to have careers or be respected for their minds. It was all manly men stuff […]
You wanted more Robin? You got it.
Oh, man, I have so many thoughts. And I’m also not entirely sure what I think about some of what happened in this book. On the one hand, I LOVED IT. The case and Robin and Strike’s personal lives dovetailed beautifully. So much of this book was character shiz, which is my favorite kind of shiz. And I’ve been saying for the past two books that I wanted MORE ROBIN and MORE ROBIN is exactly what I got. Robin backstory. Robin frontstory. Robin Robin Robin. […]
I absolutely fell in love with this book.
This book was scrumptious, and I devoured it. I stayed up so late reading it I legit almost fell asleep at work the next day. So there’s this dragon who lives near an evil wood, and once every ten years, he chooses a girl from a local village to take into his castle. In return for protecting the people from the corruption of the Wood, they allow him to choose freely from their daughters. But this dragon doesn’t have claws or wings; he has magic. He’s […]
