So Happy Together by Olivia Worley

So Happy Together by Olivia Worley

January 24, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This was the most confusing book ever. It’s mostly following a 20+ year old woman named Jane who is delusional about her 6 date “relationship” with the most basic guy ever named Colin. And we get the longest reveal ever of what sent her running from somewhere years earlier. I think that Worley was going for some twists/reveals to keep you going. But I just found myself bored […]

I Would Die For You by Sandie Jones

I Would Die for You by Sandie Jones

January 23, 2025 by Classic 4 Comments

  Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Trigger warning: Rape This was just….not good. I have given Jones 4 stars before, and everything else has been 3, but this one I could not give more than a 1 star rating to. Most of this book makes no sense, it’s people being really really dumb, and just twists for twists. That ending was some Lifetime Movie thing. I wish Jones had added a “camera moves away […]

Track Her Down by Melinda Leigh

Track Her Down by Melinda Leigh

January 23, 2025 by Classic 1 Comment

I always love the Bree Taggart series, but this one just didn’t do it for me. I think because the ultimate reveals just didn’t make a lot of sense and felt like they came out of nowhere and in the end I just wasn’t left with a good feeling like I usually am in the series. “Track Her Down” follows Bree and Matt as they work what looks like a home invasion gone wrong. However, the two of them quickly realize something bigger may be […]

Junie B. and the kinda smelly book

Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus: The Graphic Novel by Barbara Park and Colleen A. F. Venable

January 22, 2025 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

I can see why people did not like Junie B. Jones novels after reading Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus: The Graphic Novel, and not just because of the words “stupid” and “smelly” are used by Junie B. I will say her attitude could be likened to Eloise or DW Read from the Arthur tv series. So if you like Eloise or DW like characters, you will love Junie B. Jones. The author Colleen A. F. Venable adapted Barbara Parks’ beloved Junie B. […]

The scariest thing about this is how hard you’ll laugh

The Wild Ones by Megan Lacera and Jorge Lacera

January 21, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Wild Ones by Megan Lacera and Jorge Lacera came up in my online reader copy list. It is currently available, which is a good thing as you are going to want to get a copy for your young child. This is a cute story about faith in friends and monsters! Yes, monsters. Best friends love monsters (Frogzilla anyone?) and they are convinced there is a monster in the forest. When their home is slated for demolition for a new business to come into town, […]

Gratuitous Jason Isaacs

Big Sky by Kate Atkinson

Death at the Sign of the Rook by Kate Atkinson

January 21, 2025 by Zirza Leave a Comment

Big Sky Private investigator Jackson Brodie is on an assignment to spy on a cheating couple. He has taken his thirteen year old son along with him. The son is bored and, quietly, so is Jackson. One night, he meets a desperate-looking man, standing at the edge of a crumbling cliff. Though Jackson manages to get the man off the cliff, the chance encounter leads him to something far more sinister.  I love Kate Atkinson and I’ve read the entire Brodie series up to this […]
