What do I read next, hivemind? (I Love This)

The Trespasser by Tana French

July 19, 2019 by octothorp 2 Comments

I’m so in love with Tana French’s murder squad series that I temporarily convinced myself that I liked mysteries (keep a lookout for my Not In My Wheelhouse pick, which is almost certainly going to be one of two remaindered books I bought because I wanted more Tana French and have run out of her writing to read). I don’t know that I do, I just really like good writing, and French is amazing. So yeah, my “I Love This” isn’t the genre or the […]

The most enjoyable book I’ve read so far this year

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

July 17, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

#CBR11 Bingo: I Love This First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep’s genius granddaughter, they’re the White House Trio, a beautiful millennial marketing strategy for his mother, President Ellen Claremont. International socialite duties do have downsides—namely, when photos of a confrontation with his longtime nemesis Prince Henry at a royal wedding leak to the tabloids and threaten American/British relations. The plan for damage control: staging a fake friendship between […]

The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman

July 8, 2019 by cheerbrarian Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo – I LOVE THIS This is the first time I am participating in Cannonball Read Bingo and I am ALL IN BABY. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to swing a blackout by the end of October but my personal goal is to fill out the whole thing by the end of the year. Let’s do this thing! And what fun to review Alice Hoffman for my first Bingo pick! She has been one of my favorite authors since high school and […]

Come the Hod King

The Hod King by Josiah Bancroft

July 1, 2019 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

I was so very, very excited, waiting for this book to come out! Unfortunately, I’m ashamed to say I got snowed under with work. I loved the previous two books in Josiah Bancroft’s Books of Babel series. I don’t think I had ever come across an author who had such a rich, yet witty, literary style. Even better was that he was able to pair it with an unusually intriguingly built world and fantastic character progression. I’m happy to say that this entry lived up […]
