Some places, you never leave the same

The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead

September 28, 2020 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Kicking off my CBR12 Bingo with The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead for the RED book cover square. A beautifully written novel about a segregated Florida reform school during the Jim Crow era. All the boys never left The Nickel Academy the same as when they arrived. The novel flashes between the present and the past through Elwood’s eyes. Each chapter gives you a lyrical moment in time. We learn about the place in pieces, flashing forward to Elwood as an adult. As soon as […]

Slave to Sensation

Love Conquers the Mind

Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh

Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh

Caressed by Ice by Nalini Singh

June 29, 2020 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I know I’m late to the party, but I’m so here for any books written by Nalini Singh. I’ve been meaning to read her work for years. Last year for Cannonball Read 11, I got hooked with a novella in the Burning Up anthology. I started reviewing the Guild Hunter series with Angels’ Blood but had my eye on the Psy-Changeling books the whole time. When the new year rolled around, I knew it was time and devoured the first three books in the series.   […]

CBR Diversions – Dream Casting

June 26, 2020 by teresaelectro 20 Comments

As a lover of all things pop culture, I love to read and watch book adaptations on the big and small screen. I first saw HBO’s True Blood series before absolutely devouring the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse books. Same for The Golden Compass, which was panned by critics, but led to me reading the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. The screen versions captivated me and I simply had to know the literary origins of the characters. When I read a particularly engaging novel, […]

CBR Diversions – Follow Friday Author Edition

May 29, 2020 by teresaelectro 18 Comments

I can’t be the only one spending more time online to entertain myself. Besides reading books and binge-watching, have you been spending a huge chunk of time scrolling on social? As a consequence, I have entered every book giveaway I have seen even though I do not have space for new books in my house. I tell myself that I’m making an exception for FREE books. With the current social distancing climate, you may have noticed book publishers have been hosting more virtual events than […]

Toni Morrison’s lyrical tale of female friendship

Sula by Toni Morrison

April 27, 2020 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Sula was the Mocha Girls Read book club selection to celebrate Toni Morrison’s birthday in February. I had read excerpts from some of her other books, but this was my first time reading her cover to cover. The novel tells the story of two black women growing up in a small Ohio town. Through lyrical prose, we are introduced to the families of the area. Nel is a quiet girl but begins to open up when she pairs up with Sula. They become inseparable and […]

Fated mates with dark needs and desires

Dark Needs at Night's Edge by Kresley Cole

Dark Desires After Dusk by Kresley Cole

Kiss of a Demon King by Kresley Cole

March 22, 2020 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I keep trucking along with the Immortals After Dark novels where Kresley Cole pairs supernatural fated mates. The paranormal universe continues to expand with books 5, 6 and 7 focusing on new characters who were hinted at in previous books. Picking up with the next book in line, Dark Needs at Night’s Edge takes us back to New Orleans to meet Conrad Wroth, the long-lost vampire brother to Sebastian and Nikolai who we meet in the previous books. Conrad is deranged from drinking the blood […]
