Went on a little bit of a journey here! Mythili bought one of my books from a second party sender who didn’t put the note in that she requested, so I was like 80% positive that my Book Exchange book had arrived, and 20% scared I had a stalker, but Emmalita helped me figure it out, so then I could be relieved the the BEAUTIFUL book I was sent was from a friendly. Here is the first book that arrived, which I was sure would […]
“We all have ways of showing our patriotism, and mine is holding my country to account. I want to dissuade her from her worst, cruellest impulses, for I truly believe that if she does not evolve past them, she will not survive.”
Truth of the Divine (Noumena, #2) by Lindsay Ellis
I don’t have it in me right now to talk about this book in the way that it deserves. This is a book that explores the fallout from First Contact (and the fallout from covering up First Contact) in practically every way possible. There was so much going on in this book (and all of it done well), I don’t even know how to start summing it up. I’m tempted to just do the bullet points thing. In fact, you know what, fuck it. I’mma […]
“And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, ‘Bitch, do something yourself instead of just sitting there getting angry. Do something.'”
Elizabeth Taylor: The Grit & Glamour of an Icon by Kate Andersen Brower
What a fascinating life this woman led. I really feel like it would be pretty hard to come away from this book not liking Elizabeth Taylor as a human being. She loved fiercely, struggled publicly, and left a huge legacy that has helped millions of people, and continues to do so. I grew up in the 80s and 90s knowing who Elizabeth Taylor was, just like everyone else, because she was part of the zeitgeist, one of the most famous women ever to live. I […]
“Which is harder: devising an unsolvable problem, or solving that problem?”
The Devotion of Suspect X (Detective Galileo, #1) by Keigo Higashino
I feel like this author and I are just jamming together on the same vibe. I’ve seen other people’s reviews and YouTube reactions/book club live shows and my reactions are so different to theirs. I really feel like I just fall into this author’s worlds and just let him shamelessly manipulate me exactly the way he wants and it’s hard for me to imagine not being enthralled by what’s happening. They’re all like ‘meh,’ and I’m like what are you talking about?!??? This particular tome […]
“Men who were delicious enough to make you lose your head should be imbibed sensibly.”
The Princess Trap by Talia Hibbert
Not my fave of hers but still cute. Having a little trouble coming up with anything to say because this is so solidly in the ‘just fine’ category in my mind, which is unusual for a Talia Hibbert. Usually if nothing else, her narrative voice pulls me through and gives the book a boost. This book follows Cherry and Ruben. Cherry is working for a corporate academy school, and Ruben is a prince of a made up country I can’t remember the name of. He […]
The Knights of the Round Table vs. Climate Change
Perilous Times by Thomas D. Lee
Thanks to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. The realm is in peril, and the knights of the round table have been called back to duty once again, waking up from under the earth to fight . . . climate change. Among other things. Here’s a little bit of the blurb: “An immortal Knight of the Round Table faces his greatest challenge yet—saving the politically polarized, rapidly warming world from itself—in this slyly funny contemporary take […]
