I've tried this three times now and I always fall behind on my reviews. My husband has heard me bemoan this for three years now and has decided to try it himself and the JERK is already AHEAD of me on reviews. Game on.

Plot: Blythe Connor is determined that she will be the warm, comforting mother to her new baby Violet that she herself never had. But in the thick of motherhood’s exhausting early days, Blythe becomes convinced that something is wrong with her daughter–she doesn’t behave like most children do. Or is it all in Blythe’s head? Her husband, Fox, says she’s imagining things. The more Fox dismisses her fears, the more Blythe begins to question her own sanity, and the more we begin to question what […]

Lesson One of the Scholomance: Learning has never been this deadly. A Deadly Education is set at Scholomance, a school for the magically gifted where failure means certain death (for real) — until one girl, El, begins to unlock its many secrets. There are no teachers, no holidays, and no friendships, save strategic ones. Survival is more important than any letter grade, for the school won’t allow its students to leave until they graduate… or die! The rules are deceptively simple: Don’t walk the halls alone. And […]

This is yet another domestic thriller but it left me cold. I’m all for implausible endings and twists- you can’t read domestic thrillers and not be. Is the narrator reliable?

Hey Ladies! – A Very Specific Type of Book That Tickles Me Endlessly

Hey Ladies! by Michelle Markowitz and Caroline Moss

Once upon a time in the endless history of the internet, there was a website called The Toast. While content is no longer posted, the archives remain and I heartily encourage everyone to go through them. The Toast was for women and librarians. I once bought a tote bag from them that had a mermaid with a back tattoo that said “misogynist.” One of the rally cries of the site was “Take to the Sea” for every woman who was just done with everything. One […]

Before moving in with the Crouch family, Juno thought Winnie and her husband, Nigel, had the perfect marriage, the perfect son — the perfect life. Only now that she’s living in their beautiful […]
