“Pardon me if it’s obvious when two people are into each other.”

Battle Royal by Lucy Parker

September 8, 2021 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

CBR13Bingo: Libations AKA, the book where Lucy Parker rips my heart out, covers it in icing and edible glitter, and then gently replaces it. This book hauled me in and emotionally wrecked me and I loved every minute. It’s grumpy/sunshine, rivals-to-lovers, forced proximity perfection and good to the last crumb! Sylvie first met Dominic while she was a contestant on baking show and he was a judge, made even more memorable by, well, a unicorn and glitter explosion involving him. Years later, they now own bakeries […]

Elite Starfighter

“Forget about the war,” Mia insisted. “Tell us about…” your boring alien love interest

Elite Starfighter by Grace Goodwin

September 8, 2021 by llamareadsbooks 2 Comments

CBR13Bingo: Machinery Because Lily smashes stuff in a mecha! Like starbases! And enemy fighters! And freaking spaceships! Look, I know these books are ridiculous, but that’s the joy of them. Plus, I was really looking forward to seeing Lily smash some stuff up with her mecha suit! This is the third book in the series and follows directly after the other two, so it shouldn’t be read as a standalone. With her best friends Jamie and Mia gone, Lily’s ready for her alien partner to show […]

Starfighter Command

“Sometimes people don’t make sense.” Girl, sometimes the whole dang plot doesn’t make sense.

Starfighter Command by Grace Goodwin

September 8, 2021 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

Yes, I read another one of these books. Look, I’m just saying, if Garrus Vakarian knocked on my door and said he desperately needed my help to go fight the Reapers? I’d consider it! After listening to me summarize the entire plot of the last book in like two sentences, my friend picked up this one for me as well after she stopped laughing. And yes, it’s more of the same, though with hackers instead of fighter pilots. This book picks up directly after the […]

My divine book delivery theory hard at work…

Into The Fire by Amanda Page

September 7, 2021 by chelz.hawk Leave a Comment

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again– books find me when I need them. And this one is the epitome of that theory. I recently found myself at an airshow and at that airshow I met a boy (man). And that boy (works for the Blue Angels) wants to be a fighter pilot. But I know all about pilots. Pilots are (more often than not) cocksure garbage. So I was reticent. More on that later… That being said I love a fighter pilot […]

The Importance of the Library

Deal With the Devil by Kit Rocha

September 5, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

Bingo 18: Shelfie I knew there was going to be some romance going into Deal with the Devil, but I was really hoping the series title “Mercenary Librarians” would be more the focus. Sadly for me, this was definitely more romance than librarian-ness. Set in a somewhat generic dystopic US potentially within my lifetime (maybe, assuming I get close to the triple digit age) after humanity has been devastated by some massive solar flare activity (I liked how this was put in; not a big […]

The First Starfighter

Ridiculous but enjoyable

The First Starfighter by Grace Goodwin

September 2, 2021 by llamareadsbooks 1 Comment

My love of scifi romance is well established, so it’s no surprise that my friend picked up something with the most ridiculous premise they could find (“It’s like Ender’s Game but not as genocide-y!”) as a pick-me-up. And while I can’t honestly say it’s a great book, it’s definitely served its purpose for cheering me up. “To you, it was a game. To Velerion, a tool to identify and recruit the best Starfighters we can find.” If the only thing Jamie has going for her […]
