Still on vacation, a friend mentioned this book and I was reminded that I wanted to read it. I’d heard about it a lot (although wasn’t clear on what it was exactly about), and much like the Hunger Games trilogy, I figure if I’m going to end up seeing the movie, maybe I should read the book. I started it at 10AM, and with the exceptions of stopping for lunch and a trip to the pioneer cemetery, I read non-stop until 6PM, when I finished […]
Letting Others Love You
The fault in our stars is the story of Hazel who meets Augustus. Now Hazel may be a cancer patient and Augustus may be an amputee (as Wikipedia succinctly puts it), but this is not a book about cancer, cancer patients or “overcoming life with cancer”. This is a book about Hazel and Augustus who meet, have something in common and fall in love. I don’t mean to sound ignorant, the book does deal with the emotional consequences of having cancer, both in regards to […]
Another Historical Romance, But with Agita
Nothing to Commend Her by Jo Barrett February 5, 2014 Leave a comment If Pride and Prejudice is the ultimate You Are Everything I Never Knew I Always Wanted romance, Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca is the perfect illustration of what the romancerati refer to as The Big Misunderstanding. If at some point during their courtship or honeymoon, Maxim de Winter had managed to blurt out, “My wife was a vain, inconstant shrew and I loathed her, you little fool”, everyone would have been spared a lot […]
Another Historical Romance, But with Henry Cavill
Author Maya Rodale, who has previously inspired me to a lengthy defense of romance novels, is currently balancing two series. The contemporary group (Billionaire Bad Boys) features a character who is writing her first historical romance. The Wicked Wallflower, from the historical group, is that romance. I purchased The Bad Boy Billionaire’s Wicked Arrangement for the low, low price of 99 cents on my Kindle thinking it was a novella when it was actually just an installment in the novel. It made for interesting reading […]
Because FBI Agents are Inherently Sexy–In Books
I’ve been a little disappointed in the last couple of books I’ve read by Julie Garwood, but she’s still one of my go-to authors. I just can’t give her up quite yet, so I picked up her latest book, Hotshot (2013) as soon as I was able to get my hands on it. I’m such a sucker for the strong, protective type and this tends to be Garwood’s favorite heroes, which works out for both of us. In Hotshot, we have Finn MacBain, an Olympic […]
Me Before You – A Book I Can’t Tell You Anything About
I should start this out by saying I love sleep. Sleep is where I’m a viking, and I try and get a lot of it. This book ruined sleep for me. This book kept me up until almost 1AM last night reading it, and even later tossing it around in my thoughts. This book invaded my dreams and was the first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning. This book ruined me. I wish I could sit here and give you a […]
