Sweet Talk By Cara Bastone This story was absolutely adorable and I loved it! The main premise is that Elliot sends a voice message text at 2 a.m. to a wrong number. JD (not her real name, but what she’s referred to for most of the story) is already awake to receive said voice text. She responds, and they go back and forth before Elliot realizes that he hasn’t been talking to his sister. JD knows who Elliot is immediately – she had […]

CBR13 Bingo: Flora (there are a number of trees in the background and Toby appears to be holding a rose in her left hand. She also has a belt of roses on her dress) Spoiler warning! This is book 15 (!) in the ongoing October Daye series. So very much not the place to start. There will be spoilers for previous books in the series in this review, although I shall try to avoid any big ones for the contents of this current book. Rosemary […]

Watch Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet instead

Incense and Sensibility by Sonali Dev

Flora: there’s two lotus flowers on the cover of this book, which made me realize that the main heroine’s hair was short the entire time–not super common for romance novels, will give it that! I do not understand why I keep reading these books, I clearly do not like them. And every time I read them I get grumpy that this is likely The Indian Retelling of Jane Austen’s oeuvre, at least for a number of years. You don’t see Jane Austen and Werewolves anywhere, […]

I Loved This One Unabashedly and Hope You Do Too

All the Feels by Olivia Dade

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All the Feels publishes November 16th, 2021 (originally scheduled for October 26th, 2021.) Last year I read and loved Spoiler Alert and was excited to see that there would be another book in the universe. All the Feels takes everything I loved about the first book and deepens it, makes it stronger and better. All the Feels is very likely going to make it into my top three books of […]

Saga of the Swamp Thing vol 1- Alan Moore (1982)

Saga of the Swamp Thing vol 1 by Alan Moore

CBR13Bingo – Flora Some of the other reviews mention that this one is a little rough compared to where this series will go. Good…I liked it and found it interesting, but not super compelling. It felt very much like a time capsule or like listening to a somewhat immature first album that shows a lot of promise. Swamp Thing is a weird one. I watched the movie as a kid, but the story, the pathos, the ideas don’t really stick with me. I suppose I […]

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.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
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.
