Kissing book round up

Roomies by Christina Lauren

American Royals by Katharine McGee

Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren

Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes

October 11, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

Ordered from meh to wow! (3 stars) Roomies by Christina Lauren So this was probably the first Christina Lauren that I didn’t particularly enjoy. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t as good as the others I’ve been devouring this summer. A certain amount of disbelief must be suspended when reading book like this, so I didn’t mind the set up in the beginning — I just wasn’t all that wild about how it ended. “Is Jeff right? Am I unable to create anything because I see […]

Waiting for Tom Hanks (a.k.a shut up Annie you don’t deserve a movie star)

Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey

September 25, 2019 by badkittyuno 2 Comments

Thank you Caitlin_D for doing such a great job putting our thoughts together! Caitlin_D: So when I started to read this book I knew immediately that you need to read it too. And then I remembered I needed someone to write a review with me!! Badkittyuno: I love rom-coms. (Caitlin_D: we both do) In fact, one of my favorite things about my fiance is that he is 100% willing to watch silly romantic movies with me. And as a child of the 90s (and a huge Nora Ephron […]

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue (Montague Siblings #1) by Mackenzi Lee

The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (Montague Siblings #2) by Mackenzi Lee

Final Girls by Riley Sager

September 17, 2019 by badkittyuno 2 Comments

And by hitting publish, I will be 100% caught up on reviews! (4 stars) Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren I am on a Christina Lauren kick. After loving The Unhoneymooners, a friend recommended Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating — and about half a dozen other books by the writing duo. So far, I have not been disappointed! “I learned a very important thing that day: my mom would never try to change for a man, and I wouldn’t, either.” […]

Raising Demons by Shirley Jackson

September 16, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

Now that I’m done with Bingo, I am determined not to let myself get behind on reviews again. I expect this determination to last AT LEAST 3 days, til I leave town for two trips over two weeks, finish 15 books and fall into a black hole again. But first! Some non-fiction reviews. (5 stars) Life Among the Savages (Jacksons #1) by Shirley Jackson Other than a few references (like lighting up cigarette on the way to deliver her third child!), Jackson could have written […]

September 11, 2019 by badkittyuno 4 Comments

Here are several YA novels, most of which were pretty good (Pulp was GREAT) if anyone needs to fill a Youths square! (4 stars) A Study in Charlotte (Charlotte Holmes #1) by Brittany Cavallaro I was going to wait and review these for the Sherlock Retelling discussion, but then I realized I’ll be out of town for that and I’m terrible about participating in those discussion anyway so instead I’m going to review it now so y’all can read it and discuss it in my place.
