This book is in my top 5 for the year. BethEllen lent it to me as soon as she finished it, I got 3 hours of sleep one night because I couldn’t put it down and my sick kids kept waking me up – so why not keep reading?, and I bought my own copy so I can reread at leisure. Soccer is my sport of choice. I played for years and still love watching it. My husband still plays several times a week and […]
People really are like houses with vast rooms and tiny windows
This book is a goddamned delight, and everyone should read it. The end. No, just kidding. But I am really glad I picked it up (on the recommendation of basically the entire CBR community, amirite?), even though lately I’ve been trying hard to balance my male protagonists and authors with the underrepresented lady brains that are at large and largely ignored (axe grinding alert!). I’m glad I picked it up because it’s incredibly sensitive, and thoughtful, and nuanced. It’s also a little bit self-conscious and […]
Not entirely my cuppa tea, but YMMV, Roundup
As told by a short synopsis and my Kindle notes while reading them. Stealing Jason Wilde by Dee Ernst – Here we have a book about four grown women who kind-of-sort-of kidnap an actor, only not really, while on vacation. Wilde passes out in their car and they have to Weekend at Bernie’s him into their beach house, and his stupid manager tells him to stay hidden and calls the FBI, and all of these women somehow make the bad decision to play along? And […]
How *does* the aubergine fit inside the peach?
Spindle Cove/Castles Ever After crossover? Okay! (Piers Brandon is the Marquess that didn’t get said yes to, in case you don’t recognize him.) (He’s much more likable in Do You Want to Start a Scandal than he was in Say Yes to the Marquess.) (I don’t know why I keep using parentheses.) People have been asking for years for Dare to finally give the last Highwood daughter, Charlotte, her own story, so it seems fitting that she (and we) should be rewarded for her patience […]
The book I needed post election
For my birthday in October my daughters gave me two books, “Ghost Talkers” and “Arabella of Mars”. As I had been waiting for over a year to read “Ghost Talkers”, that was given higher reading priority. Supposedly things happen for a reason and I’m now glad that “Arabella of Mars” came second because it was the book I was reading at the ending of this U.S. election. AoM was the perfect amount of escapism that was needed to balance the stress of this election cycle. AoM […]
Cute, but not my fave.
Everybody here has been losing their minds over this book since it came out, so I knew I would read it eventually because I am a sheep and do what I’m told. BaaaAAAaaaAAAAaaAaAA. ANYWAYS. This book was great. Nothing earth-shattering or revolutionary, just straight up cute romance featuring hate-to-love protagonists. My only real complaint about it is that it wasn’t long enough. I needed at LEAST fifty more pages of them being in that stage right before actually falling in love with each other. This book […]
