Who died and made you king?

Unruly: A History of England’s Kings and Queens by David Mitchell

October 2, 2023 by ElCicco 1 Comment

Cbr15bingo Europe I’m not sure how my husband got his hands on the official UK version of this book; the US version is out tomorrow (Oct. 3) with the subtitle as shown in the photo, not the subtitle on the UK version which I have put in the title bar. But he knew I would love it because we are both fans of David Mitchell from the various British panel shows he has been on. Mitchell describes himself as a comedian, and he is, but […]

Enough really is Enough

Nat Enough by Maria Scrivan

October 1, 2023 by reginadelmar Leave a Comment

So this review is out of my comfort zone. While on a weekend getaway I wandered into a bookstore and got several book recommendations, including  Maria Scrivan’s Nat Enough.  I asked about graphic novels and the owner steered  me into the children’s section. I haven’t read any books directed at kids recently besides Harry Potter and Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book. It was a fun read, and seems unlikely to cause any parents to get into an uproar. Natalie is starting middle school. She is […]

The Loyalty Test

Stand With Me, Earl by Kate Archer

September 29, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Viola is drawn to Roland, the Earl of Baderston, but she wants him to prove his loyalty before she’ll wed him. However, things go much farther than she expects when the rumors she starts about herself get out of hand… This is the third book in A Very Fine Muddle series, which are Regency romances about a very eccentric, unworldly family of debutantes. In my review of the second book I wondered how the author would pull off a heroine whose chief distinguishing feature thus […]

Bravery is Best

Be Daring, Duke by Kate Archer

September 25, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Rosalind Bennington wants her husband to be a courageous man – but in such a safe location as upper-class Regency London, this means having to orchestrate dangerous situations in which the Duke of Conbatten can prove his daring. This is the second book in the A Very Fine Muddle series, which follows five aristocratic sisters who have been raised by a fanciful hopeless romantic of an aunt and consequently have very fixed ideas on what their future husbands should be like. Learning from her elder […]

I want to see this Bond movie

Kiss the Girls and Make Them Spy: An original Jane Bond Parody by Mabel Maney

August 31, 2023 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

Cbr15bingo sex This book was published in 2001 and somehow I only just heard about it a few weeks ago. It is a hoot, with the kind of silly-named characters and wacky mix-ups that you might find in a Jeeves and Wooster novel. American writer Mabel Maney gives us the story of Jane Bond, the lesbian sister of James, who drinks and sleeps around like her brother but who lives in a run-down bedsit and works at a bookstore in 1965 London. Jane is dealing […]

That Feeling When Your Dog Retrieves a Dismembered Leg

Flight Risk by Cherie Priest

August 28, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR 15 Bingo – North America: This book is set in rainy Seattle, Washington, and we see plenty of the splendor of its nature as well. Leda, a travel agent and part-time psychic, gets swept up in the case of a dual disappearance when a couple is reported missing in seemingly unrelated circumstances. This is the second book in The Booking Agents series, which follows Leda and a skeptical police detective, Grady, as they solve confounding crimes. I read the first book a few years […]
