Note: Spoilers abound. Are there really spoilers in a Stephanie Plum book, though? I mean, we know that Lula is going to wear outrageous outfits, that Grandma is going to do something wacky, that Mrs. Plum is going to drink a little bit of Four Roses in her iced tea glass, and that Stephanie is going to have some near-death experiences. In installment 23 (are we really up to that number?), we open with Stephanie and Morelli’s relationship status upgraded to engaged to be engaged. […]
A semi-all caps, shouty, ranty (and way too long but I was on a roll) review
From Amazon: The first book in #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown’s beloved Texas! trilogy introduces readers to a close-knit family struggling to go on without its patriarch—and to a man in pursuit of an elusive woman who may hold his future in her hands. Charismatic and easy on the eyes, Lucky Tyler is a born rebel. His romantic conquests have earned him his nickname, while his temper gives him his reputation as the family hothead. One night, he gets in a fight […]
You always hurt the ones you love the most
I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this book. It was…fine? From Amazon (cause I’m lazy): Georgia “Peachy” Archer always thought she was happy with her choices in life: quitting college, marrying young, raising two boys in the same small town where she grew up. But just as Peachy’s life is beginning to settle into a careful routine, her sister’s life begins to dangerously unravel. Beth Archer chose a different life: fancy apartment in Manhattan, fancy friends, making lots of money. She’s been on […]
Cannonball: “What are our stories if not the mirrors we hold up to our fears?”
Many, many years ago, I read Wally Lamb’s first book She’s Come Undone. I can honestly say that the only thing I remember about that book is that the main character’s mother is killed when a tractor trailer crashes in to her tollbooth. Consequently, I think about that every time I drive through a toll booth. Anyway, when I read it, I happened to live with two other girls, one of whom had had the pleasure of knowing Wally Lamb as a teacher in her […]

I’ve been sitting on this review for awhile now, and not just because I procrastinate with the best of them when it comes to my reviews, but because I honestly do not know how I feel about this book. I think I know how I’m supposed to feel about it, but I’m not even a hundred percent sure of that. I’m sure you know the story, especially since the movie came out a few months ago. Quiet, shy, relatively poor Louisa loses her job at […]
Please don’t kick me out…
So everyone loves this book. Everyone. It’s been all over CBR. And it popped up as $2.99 or something the other day on Amazon, so I downloaded it. And… I didn’t much care for it. Can I still be in CBR? I mean, it was okay. There were a few funny moments, and I laughed a few times, but I expected lots of snark and banter and wit and… I don’t know. It just didn’t blow my skirt up. Lainie is an actor in a […]
