4.5 stars CBR13 Bingo: Rec’d (by Emmalita, Narfna and FaintingViolet) Official book description: Their lesson plans didn’t include love. But that’s about to change… When Martin Krause arrives at Rose Owens’s high school, she’s determined to remain chilly with her new colleague. Unfriendly? Maybe. Understandable? Yes, since a loathsome administrator gave Rose’s beloved world history classes to Martin, knowing it would hurt her. But keeping her distance from a man as warm and kind as Martin will prove challenging, even for a stubborn, guarded ice queen. Especially when she begins […]

Last Night: I kinda want to slap five stars on this but I’m book drunk so I will wait for the morning. Full review later. This Morning: Fuck it, I’m doing it. Five stars (rounded up from 4.5). But I do wish you to know that objectively it is more like a four star book, but it did so many things that I personally love that I just have to bump it up. So, you can pretend this is a Goodreads Four Review with an […]

In the gift that keeps on giving, my moving romance authors who were vocal during the RWA’s (continuing) implosion to the top of my TBR has led to some solidly stellar reading. Its always nice to remember that smart, bitchy ladies who get mouthy at oppression and racism just write better books. Olivia Dade has been coming after the gatekeepers vocally since at least early 2019 (probably longer, but I’ve only been following her on Twitter about that long) and is just seriously funny. I […]

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I haven’t read Olivia Dade before. I thought she was one of the authors I follow on Twitter, but she was not. She is now, though. Teach Me was a lovely read with +40 characters who behaved like they had lived lives, and actual positive fat representation. It’s out May 30th. Rose and Martin are teachers at the same high school, both teaching history classes. They are equals in their credentials, but Martin has just […]

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.
