Extremely yes, very swoon.

A Lady For a Duke by Alexis Hall

by 6 Comments

“I cannot meet him as a stranger. But he has never known me as myself.” I loved this so much I wish I could just drop everything I’m doing right now, including writing this review, and read it again. I honestly haven’t stopped thinking about it since July, and it is now November. I would need to re-read anyway to write a review that does it justice, with like, quotes and shit. As of right now, I’m thinking this review is just going to be […]

The Murder of Mr. Wickham by Claudia Gray

by Leave a Comment

The short, spoiler-free version: Two thumbs up, very fun. Surprisingly angsty. Does justice to murder mysteries and to Jane Austen. The longer, mostly spoiler-free version (spoils the premise and which characters are in the book from the Jane Austen canon): But where is Elinor?? I am disappointed that she only merits a couple of mentions in this book when we are in Marianne’s POV, but maybe Claudia Gray just doesn’t love her as much as I do. That’s pretty easy to do, I guess, because […]

The continuing adventures of Mosscap and Dex.

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy (Monk & Robot, #2) by Becky Chambers

“You don’t have to have a reason to be tired. You don’t have to earn rest or comfort. You’re allowed to just be.” Still cozy aspirational goodness, and more friendship this time. Also yet another book I should have reviewed much closer to finishing, as my memory of it has grown a little thin. The feelings I got from it remain pretty strong, however. I actually feel like I need to re-read both of these books and take my time, really savor them. This book […]

A good time, but not my favorite of Hibbert’s books.

That Kind of Guy (Ravenswood, #3) by Talia Hibbert

The third act breakup in this one pooped the bed, but I really liked the rest of it. I wrote that ↑ back in July when I first finished the book, but now (on November 1st 😬) as I’m finally sitting down to write this review, I don’t have a very clear memory of the third act break-up, other than I didn’t buy it and it annoyed me. So, do with that what you will. I picked this book up out of order because of […]

A standard domestic thriller with a premise that doesn’t really deliver.

The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

by Leave a Comment

Don’t let the first part of this book fool you. It’s not as fun as those first chapters make you think. I got SUPER into the idea of the rogue therapist, but as the book went on it was less and less about her and her questionable—sometimes illegal—methods, and more just a standard domestic thriller, a genre I don’t read much of anymore, because they always seem to be three star reads for me. And this was a three star read, for sure. After how […]

A meta murder mystery about writing murder mysteries.

The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

by 2 Comments

I had a really good time with this book. I am honestly pleased with most mysteries that I read because something about the genre makes me inherently happy, but I am always very excited when I find one that goes above and beyond the expectations of the genre, and plays around a little. This one definitely did that. It was like brain candy for me. A little treat. The book is split into two parts, the first being a rough draft of a murder mystery […]
