A Destined Cadre Makes a Delightfully Breezy Read

Legends & Lattes (Legends & Lattes #1) by Travis Baldree

April 3, 2023 by Flimflamingo 2 Comments

Legends & Lattes is a perfectly delightful book. I read it because it had been described as such and, you know what, it delivers in that respect. What’s this book like? If you can see the cover art, then that’s it. That’s exactly what it’s like. No one could have designed a better, more fitting cover for it. Truly, dear cover artist and designer: Job well done! I guess the best way I can review this book is to say, the day after we watched Dungeons & […]

Monkeys and unicorns, and monsters, oh my!

The Wicked Will Rise (Dorothy Must Die book #2) by Danielle Paige

April 1, 2023 by genericwhitegirl Leave a Comment

This is an example of where the second installment is better than the first. If you aren’t familiar with the Dorothy Must Die series of books, you can read my review of book 1 here. Basically, this is the second book in the Dorothy Must Die series, which tells the story of Amy Gumm, a teenager from Flat Hills Kansas, who finds herself whisked away to Oz. Amy discovers Dorothy is real, and has transformed Oz into a magical wasteland and ruled with an iron fist. […]

Natalie Naudus saved me on this one.

Heart of the Sun Warrior (The Celestial Kingdom Duology, #2) by Sue Lynn Tan

Last year I got into a really bad habit of not only buying pretty much every first book in a series that looked good to me, but oftentimes buying the sequel as well. That is what I did for this series. I was so convinced I would love it, I overcommitted. When I finally got around to reading the first book, Daughter of the Moon Goddess, in January, I had a tough time getting through it. Something about the pacing and the writing style did […]

Murder mystery romance magic ON A BOAT.

A Restless Truth (The Last Binding, #2) by Freya Marske

March 30, 2023 by narfna Leave a Comment

I am really enjoying this series. It has so many things that I love: Lonely people falling in love, hijinks, magic, secrets, murder mysteries, an overarching plot that advances while leaving each book to be satisfying on their own, a fun Georgian England setting, queer representation in a historical time period, cheeky humor (there is a runner in here about pornography), benign and helpful ghosts, and I could keep going but that would be a bit much. And this one’s set on a boat! I […]

Sometimes You Have To Make Time To Drink A Cup Of Tea.

Tea Set and Match by Casey Blair

If Mireya thought that her life would calm down and let her adjust after the events of the first book, she was sorely mistaken. Though she earned the provisional title of tea master, there is the matter of an additional test in order to keep it. And as it turns out that test will be competing in the final round of a tea tournament with absolutely no help from the tea guild. The tournament itself is brings intrigue and international politics as well as three […]

So, Mireya makes a choice that hasn’t been used in centuries and chooses to exile herself from the royal family. Escaping to the city of Sayorsen which happens to be right next to the magical Cataclysm, Mireya must make a […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
