Bravery is Best

Be Daring, Duke by Kate Archer

September 25, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Rosalind Bennington wants her husband to be a courageous man – but in such a safe location as upper-class Regency London, this means having to orchestrate dangerous situations in which the Duke of Conbatten can prove his daring. This is the second book in the A Very Fine Muddle series, which follows five aristocratic sisters who have been raised by a fanciful hopeless romantic of an aunt and consequently have very fixed ideas on what their future husbands should be like. Learning from her elder […]

Gay-Lesbian Solidarity

Gwen and Art Are Not in Love by Lex Croucher

September 16, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR 15 Bingo – Queer Lives: Both the main characters in this book are queer, and one of the major plot-lines concerns itself with what must change in society for them to live their lives openly. Hundreds of years after the time of Arthur Pendragon, his descendent Arthur Delacey is betrothed to Gwen, the princess of England. If only she wasn’t more interested in the only female knight in the realm; if only he wasn’t more interested in her brother… I picked up this book because […]

Roll Call of the Anonymous Dead

Lay Them to Rest by Laurah Norton

September 9, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR 15 Bingo – On the Road: Laurah and Amy spend much of the book on various road trips around the United States chasing down leads on the identity of “Ina” Jane Doe. True crime podcast host Laurah and forensic anthropologist Dr. Amy work to uncover the identity of the Ina County Jane Doe, who has been unidentified since her partial remains were found in 1993. Though I enjoy the true crime genre, I generally avoid stories which don’t have conclusive endings – I’ve always found […]

To boldly go where no (wo)man has gone before!

The Six: The Untold Story of America's First Women Astronauts by Loren Grush

September 7, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR 15 Bingo – Strange Worlds: The titular six (and I) jet off to the strange worlds of NASA and outer space in this book. It was many years after the inception of NASA and the space flight program that women were allowed to become astronauts. Though not all of these initial six women are household names today, they all worked to advance both space exploration and women’s rights in their own ways. It rather surprises me that I’m not very interested in space exploration – […]

The Ghost That Will Never Quit

The Exorcist Legacy: 50 Years of Fear by Nat Segaloff

August 31, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR 15 Bingo – Picture This: This book is all about the visual medium of cinema and television, discussing the Exorcist franchise from many perspectives. The Exorcist is at first glance the story of a mother desperate to save her daughter from evils beyond her reckoning, but in the fifty years since it was first released it had gone on to become a beloved, long-running franchise rife with controversy. I have never actually seen The Exorcist. Of course I know the movie and how iconic it is, […]
