Now this is a bit more like it. My Booker Longlist Forced March continues, but I had high hopes for this book before I picked it up. And they were, for the most part, met and met well. A novel of families who never talk to each other, even though three generations of one family are all squished into one tiny flat in London. Laura was married to Peter until he left her and she was forced to move in with three of his ancient […]
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 […]
In a year 2525 (or thereabouts)
First published in 1960, A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr. is considered a somewhat of a classic of post-apocalyptic science fiction. I’ve wanted to read it for years, thanks to goodreads and its recommendations page. See, goodreads thought that since I intend to read Russel Hoban’s Riddley Walker one day, I would also enjoy A Canticle for Leibowitz. And it wasn’t entirely wrong. The novel is divided into three parts, with each part taking the reader further and further into the post […]

It seems historical romance author Tessa Dare is going in a new direction, one more whimsiquirkilicious than I had anticipated. I have never given my Kindle the side-eye before. And I did, in fact, resist the temptation to throw it across the room. That counts as a victory. And that was certainly the most expletives I have ever let loose while reading a love story. A lot of […]
Oh, so there really is such a thing?
Yes, dear Meg, there is a tesseract. And I can’t remember what else I wrote for this post, but here’s the link to my review again.
“The Covenant of the Crown”: Star Trek Novelization Vangie13 cbr #18
by Howard Weinstein “Shirn looked at each of them. His eyes were wet, and he embraced Kailyn, then McCoy, and finally Spock. ‘May the Winds of Kinarr be at your back, always.’ Spock raised his hand in the Vulcan salute. ‘Live long and prosper, Shirn.’ ‘You take good care of yourself, y’hear?’ said McCoy in a husky voice.” Eighteen years ago in a situation reminiscent of the lead-up to the Iran Hostage Crisis, Kirk took part in a “police action” on the […]
