Tokens of proof

This Love Story Will Self-Destruct, by Leslie Cohen

Not with a bang but a whimper

January 22, 2018 by J Leave a Comment

Eve has been introduced to Ben multiple times during their college years. They socialize in the same circles, but not near enough that she ever remembers him. Until the one time when it sticks, and the two fall in love. Staying in love will be a different story. I read this book weeks ago and struggled with what to say about it. This is one of those books where not a lot happens, it just meanders along until you reach the end. And then you […]

Tweeting

December 27, 2017 by J Leave a Comment

Daisy is a dedicated marketing manager with a specialty in social media that carries over into her personal life. To wit, girlfriend is one of those Instagram every meal and beverage with no fewer than three hashtag millennials everyone complains about. She sends a funny, if risqué, tweet that is posted to a client’s account by mistake. Daisy’s sister takes advantage of Daisy’s resulting unemployment to suggest a digital detox/housework holiday fixing up a property in rural England where it will be nearly impossible to […]

Super Sons Vol. 1 When I Grow Up by Peter Tomasi

One for the pull list

October 17, 2017 by J 3 Comments

Oh, wow, this was a lot of fun! Because I don’t read a lot of Bat family books, I know the barest of facts about Damien Wayne. I know he’s Talia’s son by Bruce, that’s he’s the current Robin, he’s smart, and he’s a bit of a brat. I know even less about Jonathan Kent, son of Superman. (But a different Superman? Like an alternate universe Superman? I don’t know.) The two of them together? Magic. They bicker and press each other’s buttons like siblings. […]

Winning the lottery of love

October 8, 2017 by J Leave a Comment

Kiersten Archer is fed up with her boss, billionaire Cole Harrington. Like all billionaire CEOs, he’s rude, thoughtless, hard-working, and extremely hot (which a billionaire ought to be if at all possible). So when Kiersten and her girlfriends hit the lottery, she doesn’t quit her day job right away. She decides to have a little fun and make him fire her. Cole is confused about why his enormously competent assistant is now talking back and making silly mistakes. When he happens into the office Google […]
