If you’re on a boat with Bono and he wants to sing, you can stay up past your bedtime for once.

Here’s a fun fact: the first job I ever had was working for a sports management firm in the tennis division. Every summer from 10th grade until I graduated from college, I helped a team of amazing people put on these massive sporting events. I mostly worked in the men’s tennis division, but spent a little bit of time in the women’s tennis department. I met a lot of players, coaches, and entourages (Including Oates of Hall & Oates. John Oates is a tennis groupie. I […]

I’m clearly an idiot with a Sophie Kinsella problem. Send help.

March 20, 2017 by scootsa1000 2 Comments

I’m going to be honest with you. I’m way behind on my reviews, and the books are all starting to mix together in my mind. I’m not sure if I can remember which characters were in London and which were tennis players and who lived on Nantucket, so please bear with me today as I attempt and sort all of this out! I’ll start with the book I liked the least…and yet couldn’t put down. A few weeks ago, Classic reviewed this book and very eloquently (and with […]

A Victorian Rom Com

March 17, 2017 by Mikki Blu 2 Comments

This was a light and airy Victorian romance, just what I needed after slogging through the vampire politics in the last couple of books I read.  I have somehow missed reading anything by Connie Brockway before, but I read a glowing review of this one and decided to try it.  It was available on my library Overdrive, so it was an easy decision and I really enjoyed it. Lady Evelyn has always known she’s not beautiful in comparison to her mother and sister, and has […]

The Ghosts of Tragedies Past

March 17, 2017 by LadyStardust Leave a Comment

I am not particularly partial to psychic-based mysteries, and I don’t know if I would have read this one had I known beforehand that it fell into that category, but I’m glad I went in blind, because I really got swept up in reading this one. Finley is a budding psychic and college student, who rather than listen, is trying to escape the voices and ghosts of people she sees and hears all around her. When Finley starts hearing a strange noise over and over again […]

A witch, a vampire and a pixie walk into a bar

March 15, 2017 by Malin 2 Comments

Rachel Morgan is an earth witch (which means she uses wooden charms activated with drops of her own blood to do magic, as opposed to layline witches who draw their power from laylines) and works for the IS (Inderland Security), a police force consisting of supernaturals like witches, living vampires, werewolves, fairies and pixies. They police the supernatural crimes, while the FIB (Federal Inderland Bureau) is its mundane, human counterpart. For the last year, Rachel has had a run of truly awful assignments and what […]
