Happy Holidays! Here are the books I finished this month that didn’t merit full reviews due to time constraints and/or a lack of 250 words to describe them… The Burning Room**** Usually with Bosch books, I can tell within the first 30 pages if they’re gonna be good or not. This one was different. I didn’t have a sense for it at first and had a little trouble connecting with it but it turned out to be great. I liked Connelly’s integration of Lucia Soto, […]

A happy and blessed Thanksgiving to all who observe! Here is my list of readings that I got to in November that didn’t merit a longer review… The Golden Cage*** Part 1: Ma’am, wyd? Part 2: Good for her! Part 3: Good for…her? Also, kinda sad. Epilogue: Good for her! This is a good, trashy beach read. I just wish there had been less on Faye’s shady past- which wasn’t filled in well-and more on the machinations to destroy her husband’s business. Also, I’m not […]

ooohhhh booyy is it not a love story

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

by 16 Comments

This book was given to me as a parting gift when I left Yorkshire. I had been to Haworth to see the Brontë parsonage and I’d walked the moors behind the house and I had lived in and understood the sweet melodic dialect of West Yorkshire. All this lent the book a certain sweetness that the two horrible main characters did everything in their power to disrupt. I mean, I knew this wasn’t going to be a love story, but like ooohhhh booyy is it […]

A white guy who wants to be rich, but also WOMENZ.

by 4 Comments

Do you like stories about entitled white men who get what they want? Then boy do I have the book for you! I found this book for a buck in a used bookstore. On the back it said “John Braine is a Yorkshire man,” and the first line in the book was “No more Zombies, Joe,”. I was sold. I was just about to move to Yorkshire, you see and I wanted to read the quintessential Yorkshire. I have since moved and can reveal, the […]
