The Silver Wolf by Alice Borchardt

by 1 Comment

Do you have one of those books that you can pick up, open it to any page, and start reading, knowing exactly what is going on? And you find this comforting, familiar, the book equivalent of an old friend. THE SILVER WOLF by Alice Borchardt is such a book for me. It’s one of those books that I have in hardback and on my Kindle so I can read it whenever. I originally picked it up at a local bookstore that doesn’t exist anymore. I was […]

You’ll never look at a library the same way

Stacked by Aviva Blakeman

Note: I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. Not gonna lie, I was hesitant to read and review Stacked, because the author is a dear friend, but no need to worry! It was thoroughly enjoyable. A couple of things really stood out to me as I read this first installment of the Devil’s Bastards MC series: First, the author can impart a hell of lot of information about the protagonists during their meet cute. Both characters […]

PATTY: Say it. Admit it. SAY IT. KATIE:  FINE. Fine. Kristen Ashley’s FOR YOU is actually fine, maybe even edging into decent/good. It’s the first book in her ‘Burg series, and if someone sent you this book to read with nothing identifying who wrote it, you’d probably think it’s an okay romantic suspense novel even if it is a little wordy. PATTY: February Owens and Alec Colton were once upon a time a dream couple. The *something* happened and February broke up with Colton and […]

KATIE: Y’all. Kristen Ashley has finally managed to surprise me. In WILD LIKE THE WIND, she has created a book that begins with a bit of history relevant to the Chaos Motorcycle Club, LOTS of sex, and an attempt at redeeming a previously unlikable character so he can be the hero of this story. PATTY: YAY! SHE’S BACK! We have missed her so. KATIE: You could say this one starts off with a BANG. NOT THAT KIND OF A BANG. Duh. This kind. And many […]

katie: I take full responsibility for this one. I somehow missed A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness the first time around. My interest was piqued after seeing a trailer for the new series featuring Matthew Goode. Here. Have some eye candy: Katie: Anyway, I messaged Patty and was like, “we may have a contender.”    

Well, I guess the red capes had to come from somewhere

Genesis Part VII - Chapters 26-30 by 6000 years of male privelege

Previously on Supernatural… Sarah’s death, Abraham’s death, Isaac’s marriage to Rebekah: the best little camel waterer in Texas, and sibling rivalry, as per the usual. In this installment… Patty: There was a severe famine so Isaac hightailed it to Gerar. God told him to stay put and not to go to Egypt and that if he obeyed, he would be rewarded with God’s standard offer of blessings and descendants. Now, stop me if you’ve heard this one but Isaac tells everyone in town that Rebekah […]
