It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover Finished Feb. 17, 2019, took 2 days to read 2 Stars on Goodreads Genre: Romance Rating 8/8 for 2019 overall, 2/2 for Romance I really need to keep track of where I get my book recommendations because I would question the person or blog that suggested I read this book. Apparently, it is part of a genre called New Adult Romance (NA Romance), which seems to be well known on Goodreads. Instead of Young Adult, we have New […]

Not Worth the Price

The Wedding Shop on Wexley Street by Rachel Dove

February 17, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

So I have been more diligent about reading samples before buying a book. I also need to start checking the book length. This one was just a little over 200 pages. 200 pages is not long enough to resolve some of the many messy plots in this book. Everything felt rushed. It didn’t help that the author decided to have things magically get resolved because of love or something. I relayed the plot to a friend last night and she was the one who called […]

Lucy Lennox is a prolific ebook author of m/m gay romance. She has written two series, Made Marian and Forever Wilde, about two huge families filled with gay men. She has also collaborated with other authors on several standalone series. I’ve read them all, and rather than review them individually I decided to just review each series. This is her first series, Made Marian. It centers on the Marian family from San Francisco. The Marians have six biological children, three of whom are gay. When […]

Picking out a book is like dating before computers: all you’ve got to go on is cover and genre. Let’s say bleak non-fiction is your wheelhouse. Today you’re not feeling it—hundreds of pages about the Holocaust is enough for one week—so you think, hey! time for something new. Look at this handwritten recommendation on the bookstore shelf. Look at that cute paperclip…aww, it’s a workplace romance. Not my type, but maybe I’ve changed! Maybe there’s still feeling left in my pessimistic soul! I breezed through […]

Enjoyable af

3.5 stars. This is feel-good young adult lit without being too fluffy about it. It’s YA rom-com with some serious stuff thrown in. Jessie’s mom died a couple years ago and finds herself relocated to California from Chicago, living with a new step-mom and step-brother. She’s going to a fancy private school with a bunch of kids who either ignore her or hassle her and she misses her life from before. When a mysterious person starts emailing her anonymously offering to help her navigate the […]

Slightly-better-than-average M/M romance

Fired Up by Riley Hart

I wanted my first review to be for a book that I really loved, but everything I’ve really loved has already been reviewed here (makes sense, given they were all recommended by Mrs. Julien) so I decided my inaugural post would be for a book I liked well enough… So, “Fired Up.” This is the first book in the Fever Falls series, a shared universe between authors Riley Hart and Devon McCormack. Riley Hart wrote “Fired Up”, and Devon McCormack wrote book #2, “#Burn” (currently […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
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.
