You know, when I signed up for Cannonball Read last December I had every plan of finally reading some of the reputably excellent books that are sitting in my library just waiting for me to finally read them. I also was planning to read some academic book that I should have read like five years ago (yes , I am looking at you Marshall McLuhan) and some really wonderful comics book I’ve bought over the years and have yet to read. Instead I am mostly […]
A man falls in love with a woman he’s never met because he reads her e-mails. Wait don’t go!! No, it’s charming, really I promise!!
You wouldn’t think a story about an adult man creeping on two women’s private email conversation would be cute and charming, but this is a Rainbow Rowell book, so of course it is. “I know that people change. I thought … I thought we’re going to change together. I thought that’s what it meant to be in love.” Lincoln is lost in life. He’s been reeling ever since his girlfriend broke up with him first year in college. He now has several degrees and a […]
My conflicted and confused relationship with Alyssa Cole continues.
I finished this on a bit of a book high, but in the three weeks since I finished it, it’s soured a bit in my memory. I think I will probably finish out both of the series she’s got currently running, and then reevaluate from there if I’ll read more of her books. Now that I’ve had some distance from A Duke By Default, it’s clear that yet again, Cole has written a book where I unabashedly love the lady and think the dude is […]
Boundary-crossing erotica that’s Courtney Milan approved
It’s been a minute since I’ve written a review, and I feel like I’ve forgotten how to do it. Let’s pretend I was never gone and this is actually going to be competent, shall we? So I said right in the title of this review that this is Courtney Milan approved erotica, which is a kind of flippant way of saying she gave it a 5/5 star rating with about a billion caveats. Specifically, I’m referring to this review of The Siren, the first book […]
Some small fumbles, but the good outweighs the bad. #CBRBingo
Project: Catch Up On Review Backlog, review #9 out of 16 So basically, my thoughts on this book are that it made some entry level mistakes, but I enjoyed myself anyway, because it also did some things I really liked. I’ve been having trouble buckling down to actually write this review, so I’ll do what I always do when that happens. Wait 5,000 years to review it and then do a pro/con list. Let’s start with the stuff I didn’t like about it first, so […]
Just A Warning, Love – The Non-Fic Dukes Are Not Nearly As Fun
Our lovers, Portia and Tavish, get off to a bad start when a) Tavish forgets to pick Portia up from the train station, and b) Portia mistakes him for an attacker and maces him. This is one of my favorite ways to start a romance.
