December 19, 2020 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

Not all rainbows in these celebrity memoirs

We're Going to Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union

Handbook for an Unpredictable Life: How I Survived Sister Renata and My Crazy Mother, and Still Came Out Smiling (with Great Hair) by Rosie Perez

November 23, 2020 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I read We’re Going to Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union for my last in-person Mocha Girls Read meeting in March. This memoir is a collection of moments that are mostly linear with some flashbacks. Unlike Becoming, the chapters are not as detailed about her early childhood. The book is all about keeping it real and reflecting on her past with levity. We learn about her family and how she at a young age she looked after herself. With no supervision, Gabrielle got up to some […]

I need a Rafe of my own

Rafe: A Buff Male Nanny by Rebekah Weatherspoon

November 22, 2020 by teresaelectro 3 Comments

When her nanny unexpectedly quits, she is really in a bind. She is a surgeon and can be stuck at the hospital for long hours. Thankfully, Rafe comes into her life at the right time. The previous […]

Ever After by Kim Harrison

Magic Meltdown

Ever After by Kim Harrison

November 22, 2020 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I finally finished Ever After during the spring Dewey’s read-a-thon. It was a doozy of a long read with nearly 13 hours on audio. It was kinda perfect for a reading marathon. This is the eleventh book in The Hollows series by Kim Harrison and this one doesn’t hold back. Beware of mild spoilers for the previous books below! Rachel Morgan is a former government agent turned private detective of sorts. She lives with her best friends Jenks, a sassy pixie, and Ivy, a devilishly […]

Another faerie murder mystery for October Daye

A Local Habitation by Seanan McGuire

October 31, 2020 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

A Local Habitation by Seanan McGuire is the second book in the October Daye series. I reviewed Rosemary and Rue for CBR11, so it’s only natural I pick the series back up for CBR 12. This novel finds the changeling Toby stumbling upon an unexpected murder mystery in Silicon Valley. As his knight, Toby can’t refuse a request from Sylvester, the Duke of Shadowed Hills. His kingdom is the faerie land closest to San Francisco. He wants her to check on his niece, January. She […]
