Morbidly Yours by Ivy Fairbanks

October 25, 2024 by faintingviolet 1 Comment

This book was not my original pick for the Pride square for Bingo, but I’m currently trying to sort out what is going on with my library purchase request for Hers for the Weekend by Helena Greer (it won’t get here in time for me to get it read for Bingo). Also, I hadn’t picked out any seasonal romances for myself this spooky season, and then I saw all the reviews people were doing on Goodreads and felt a bit left out. So here we are […]

Some Minds are Better Off Not Read

The Journey by Isobelle Carmody

October 25, 2024 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

What a perfect pick for the ‘And Also…’ bingo  square. I started bingo this year with the ‘Part 1’  because I decided to re-read the Obernewtyn Chronicles, and it really helped me get out of a rut.  Now as part of my re-read, I’ve leant about a very short Obernewtyn prequel story available on Audible and now I guess I have a new ‘Part 1’ to review? The Journey is set before the Great White and it gives us a glimpse of  what the world was […]

The Fragile Threads of Power by V.E. Schwab

October 24, 2024 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

I’m a bit of mixed fan of the Shades of Magic. I love the world that was developed with it, and I love the way it treats magic. I am also a fan of the way the author V.E. Schwab writes—for the most part.  What I was not always a huge fan of was some of the characters, who who had a tendency to rub me the wrong way. I very much liked Kell from the original trilogy and I loved the main antagonist. But […]

“I had you in my life, and I had you in my future, and that was enough for me.”

The Undermining of Twyla and Frank by Megan Bannen

October 22, 2024 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

In December of 2022 I read Megan Bannen’s The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy. I devoured it, it sunk into my soul a bit and left me with big feelings that I had a tough time initially putting into words. When Bannen’s second book, The Undermining of Twyla and Frank was announced I immediately put it on my to read list and was even more excited by Emmalita’s review in June about a love story between two folks in their 50s. When I got my […]

A little messy

Well Played by Jen DeLuca

October 21, 2024 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

CBR Square- Smash I liked Well Met, and Well Played is the next book in the series by Jen DeLuca set in a small Maryland town called Willow Creek that has it’s own Renaissance Festival. We even see the wedding of the first couple, at the Festival but not in costume, Simon and Emily. Emily and Stacey, the main character in this book, are wenches at the Faire. Stacey is cosplaying at being happy in her life, she feels stuck in the town and stuck […]
