StoryGraph Easy Reading Challenge 25: A book with two authors Felicity “Fizzy” Chen loves her life and career as a romance writer. The problem is that she’s suffering from a bad case of writers’ block, and when she’s asked about her personal life in interviews or author panels, it’s not like she can confess to never actually having been in love, right? A romance writer should surely have experienced romantic love at some point? With all of her friends happily coupled up, she’s also getting […]

They need to collect enough money to ensure the survival of their boarding school, not to mention the orphanage next door to […]

Colorful exploration of a colorful subject

Sex is a Funny Word by Cory Silverberg, Fiona Smyth

March 27, 2025 by cosbrarian Leave a Comment

The Digital Public Library of America, a fabulous organization working toward equitable access to ebooks, is running a Banned Books feature on their social media pages, inviting readers to share why they love and support a banned book. (They are taking submissions here!) As a longtime supporter of comprehensive sex education, I picked a sex ed book that frequently comes under fire: the wonderful tween title Sex is a Funny Word by Cory Silverberg with illustrations by Fiona Smyth. I reread it to provide my […]

A mediocre cozy fantasy, might still be worth your time if you really love animals.

The Phoenix Keeper by S.A. MacLean

March 4, 2025 by narfna 6 Comments

A socially anxious zookeeper working in phoenix conservation gets the chance of a lifetime to breed phoenixes and falls in love with her rival/frenemy from the griffin show in the process. Sounds nice, right? Books like this one almost frustrate me more than the real stinkers that deserve one or two stars. It’s ALMOST there for me. The premise=great. The themes=great. A convergence of genres that I love, plus magical animals and nerds=great. But none of it came together the way I wanted it to, […]

My second marriage pact romance in less than a month

Two Friends in Marriage by Jackie Lau

March 2, 2025 by Malin Leave a Comment

Disclaimer! This was an ARC sent to me by the author. My opinions are my own. During the Covid pandemic, it becomes very obvious to both Evan Mok and his friend Jane Yin how lonely they both are and how much they wish they had someone to share their lives with. They agree that if they are both still single after Jane’s thirty-third birthday, they will get married and buy a house together. By the time Jane’s birthday has passed, neither of them is in a […]

“Stop dreaming about the spires. It was a dreadful place and those were dreadful people, and you and I got caught in their games and paid for it.”

Death in the Spires by K.J. Charles

January 18, 2025 by narfna 2 Comments

If you read The Secret History and hated the characters, and the bleak ending made you feel terrible, this might be the book for you! In her first non-romance, we’ve got K.J. Charles trying her hand (and succeeding) at a historical mystery, dark academia style. It’s 1905, and our main character is Jeremy “Jem” Kite, who has just been fired from his job when a letter accusing him of murder showed up in his employers’ mail. This is not the first or even the tenth such letter […]

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.
