I wish this one was better!

A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone

October 16, 2022 by faintingviolet 1 Comment

I’m the sort of person who loves ridiculous holiday romcoms and wishes they contained more romantic content. A Merry Little Meet Cute should have been aces for me: a steamy plus-size holiday rom-com about an adult film star who is semi-accidentally cast as a lead in a family-friendly Christmas movie, and the former bad-boy pop star co-star she falls in love with. This has potential! The basic plot builds on that potential. We have Bee Hobbes, a successful career as a plus-size adult film star […]

CBR Bingo 14 – Holiday This book was on the shelf on my AirBnb this past week when I really needed something, not very taxing, to read and my books were failing me. I read this on vacation so if I liked it more than I might otherwise, blame that. I picked this up, had no clue what it was going to be about, and loved every stupid second of it. The novel begins with a just expert consulting group group spying on a man […]

cbr14bingo Holiday Level 1 & 2 Ho Ho Ho! And big barrel of trouble! Fox in this rhyming Christmas tail, um…tale is a modern-day Grinch. Only after his heart grew, but he is stealing… (No, really! It makes sense really, just read this picture book!) Hello, Tree by Alistair Heim is a holiday book through and through. It has holiday images on the cover, the story is a rhyming text about all the wonderful holiday things seen in the town. The text itself is terribly […]

The spirit of the season is never never too late to read about

Red and Green and Blue and White by Lee Wind

HannAfter I finished reading, Red and Green and Blue and White, I realized I have read it at least once before. It is a quiet book and one that did not seem to hit “hard” on mine, or I would assume a lot of peoples, radar after it first came out. Yet, it is a nice find regardless of when you do find Lee Wind’s holiday picture book. The two main characters are celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah when this based on a true incident starts. […]

“What about me doesn’t feel real?”

The Inn on Sweetbriar Lane by Jeannie Chin

Every once in a while I get an itch for a small town romance, but the lack of diversity and the suspension of disbelief (sure, every small town can support a cupcake bakery and a bookstore and a yarn shop and a cute coffee shop and…) can get a bit grating. But this book? It scratches that small town itch while addressing those issues, plus has a pretty fun enemies-to-lovers angle. After a tragic incident that left him wounded, Clay has arrived in the small […]

I have three nephews with such amazingly similar but unique interests. However, reading is not one of their current strong suits. I mean it used to be for the middle one, the younger occasionally, but the oldest is special needs and reading is not his cup of tea. But he loves superheroes and My Little Pony currently. And I will do anything to get him to see that books are fun. So, no brainer! And the great thing is, he gets ponies, I get to […]

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.
