“If a book is well-written, I always find it too short”

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

November 7, 2025 by Malin Leave a Comment

4.5 stars CBR17 Bingo: Black (a book with a black cover) I had completely forgotten that I read and reviewed this book back in 2016. My original review can be found here. My plot summary of the more than 200-year-old novel can be found in my previous review. Nevertheless, my reading … [Read more]

Gutted. Wrecked. Ruined. And that was just after the first 3 chapters

Assassin’s Quest: Book Three of the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb

November 6, 2025 by ElCicco 2 Comments

I love this series. I want to put that up front. It is outstanding, all three books. It is also heart wrenching. In this final installment of The Farseer Trilogy, the question is whether prophecies and destiny will be fulfilled, and if so, at what cost? FitzChivalry Farseer, bastard son of the man … [Read more]

Yew and Me

The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow

November 6, 2025 by NatalieH 3 Comments

I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley. This hasn’t affected the contents of my review. I’m a big fan of Alix E. Harrow’s previous works. The Ten Thousand Doors of January is probably my favourite, but Starling House comes in at a close second. I don’t think I’ve read anything of hers … [Read more]

The Wind Knows My Name by Isabel Allende

November 6, 2025 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: Migrant - and bingos 8, 9 and 10 - 1st row, 1st column, and diagonal (top left to bottom right). I didn’t really have anything from the books I had read that I thought would be a good fit (there was a super forced fit but it felt disrespectful given everything going on in the world … [Read more]

Silver and Lead by Seanan McGuire

November 6, 2025 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: Favorite (new entry from a favorite series and author) - Bingo 7/4th row While I thought it would be funny to put The Favorites in my “Favorite” square, once we got to the end of September and I hadn’t filled my Bingo card, there was only one answer for this square - the newest … [Read more]

Ordinary People–Is the Mother a Monster or Misunderstood?

Ordinary People by Judith Guest

November 6, 2025 by BigNerdes Leave a Comment

My book-of-the-day yesterday was Ordinary People. I hadn't read it since high school and wanted to see if I still enjoyed it as much as I did then. I also really liked the movie when I first watched it during that same time period. Mary Taylor Moore played against type extremely effectively; Judd … [Read more]
