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 […]

One of My Favorite Books of the Year

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

August 27, 2019 by Jen K 2 Comments

This novel had been on my radar and TBR list ever since narfna’s review over a year ago. I didn’t end up reading it till this past May because I was on a fantasy kick and wasn’t sure if I was in the mood for something more straightforward. However, I finally hit the point where I needed to switch it up so my reading has been a bit more varied this year. I met a good friend of mine for coffee shortly after reading this […]

Behind the Fictional Music

Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

CBR11Bingo – Pajiba The genius of this novel lies in the presentation. We’ve all become familiar with the oral history as a narrative form in recent years, whether in magazine pieces or in longer forms like the SNL history “Live From New York.” To a fiction writer it offers a comparatively easy way to utilize multiple narrators, unreliable narrators, differing perspectives and faulty memories. It also allows Reid to quickly characterize each of the seven members of the titular band and the other major characters. […]

Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

August 16, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

#cbr11bingo #Pajiba (and should finish my Bingo board) While predictable in many ways, Daisy Jones & the Six has a lot to like. Some parts of Taylor Jenkins Reid novel are strong and fast pace. Other parts move a lot more slowly; making it difficult to want to go on. And while I never really liked anyone (even the more “likeable” people) they are all well done. These are people you know. You have been these people. Or you are these people. Okay, we are […]

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.
