Three romances to start off my reviews for the year. I ended 2019 with at least ten books I never got around to writing up, so I am going to try to keep on top of it better this year. Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston: 5/5 I don’t know that I have much to add about this book that hasn’t been said by other Cannonballers. The adjective that repeatedly comes to mind for this book is ‘fizzy’. Each of the books in […]

Why Did I Wait So Long

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

January 6, 2020 by Melina 8 Comments

I received the book The Hating Game from our Cannonball book exchange, it’s been languishing on my “to read” list on Goodreads forever. But here’s my secret, I haven’t really read many romance novels since maybe 5th grade? Well, I’ve read The Hating Game now, and I have feelings…so, so many feelings. I don’t think I’ve cried reading a book in a very long time. Towards the end I had to stop reading for a stretch because I think I was worrying at least one […]

CBR 11 Bingo- Not My Wheelhouse 99 Percent Mine – Sally Thorne I chose a romance novel, Thorne’s The Hating Game, for last year’s Not My Wheelhouse and while I enjoyed it the romance genre floodgates were not opened for me so I chose another kissing book for the same square this year. Darcy Barrett and her twin brother, Jamie, inherited their grandmother’s tear-down of a cottage which has caused some estrangement between the siblings. Their childhood best friend, Tom, has been hired as the contractor […]

Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

Kissing books with varying degrees of actual kissing (Ayesha At Last might be the most chaste book I’ve read all year, but it’s still very romantic). Ordered vaguely from least favorite to most. (3 stars) Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid I’m always on the lookout for new Taylor Jenkins Reid, and after I finished Daisy Jones I had a definite hankering. Luckily, Reid published a story I’d never come across before, and it was available free through Amazon. Unfortunately, it was a short […]

Two Narcissists Show They Don’t Understand Love or Relationships

99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne

Good grief I don’t know who is worse, Darcy or her twin brother Jamie. How about both? Let’s go with both. These two twins who are in their late 20s still have not got the concept of sharing and that you can’t “own” another person. Darcy is the main character in this one and her first person point of view was aggravating as hell after a while. I think we are supposed to like Darcy’s blunt ways. But honestly she was a jerk and I […]

Basically the Same Response As Everyone Else Had

99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne

August 22, 2019 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, I am not going to add too much to this review that hasn’t already been said in other reviews on CBR. The fact that I read in May definitely doesn’t help either because a lot of it has purged itself from my head. I think one thing already that didn’t quite work for me was the narrator choice – the entire novel is first person point of view from Darcy Barrett, and I tend to prefer third person alternating views for romance novels. I […]

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.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
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.
