Wuthering Heights: I Read It.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

August 17, 2026 by Fiat.Luxury Leave a Comment

I'm trying to fill in the gaps of Classics I Never Read, and I had never read any of the Brontës. What better place to start than Wuthering Heights? If nothing else, it would give me an opportunity to care a little more about the new movie, which looks very pretty. But reader: I hated it. I'm … [Read more]

The Secret Garden: Classic for a Reason

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

August 17, 2026 by Fiat.Luxury Leave a Comment

I continue my read-aloud campaign with The Secret Garden; in fact, we read the exact same copy that I read as a child. Charming! I'm sure you are familiar with the story: in 1900 or so, Mary Lennox is a sickly, neglected, self-centered, unpleasant 10-year-old in India; her British parents die of … [Read more]

Three books, "Dungeons and Drama", "Dragons and Dating", "Rolls and Rivalries", by Kristy Boyce are standing in a row on a bookshelf. In front of them are a collection of dice in multiples shapes and miniature figures for playing Dungeons and Dragons.

I feel like these were written for a younger version of me

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

August 16, 2026 by Classic 3 Comments

Keeping this short since there are so many reviews of this book out there. This was boring. I was bored. I thought it went on way too long and got to the point I didn't care if Ryland Grace lived or died or if he would complete his mission (save Earth). I haven't watched the movie yet and wanted to … [Read more]

Saint Delilah by Isabelle Spotts

Saint Delilah by Isabelle Spotts

August 16, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

I received this book via NetGalley. This did not impact my rating or review. Well, I liked the cover, and that's really all there is to say about this one. It was a confusing read with too many points of view and a ending that made no sense except to set up possibly another book starring Magda. … [Read more]

Cover of Fish and Water by Gengoroh Tagame

Water and fish

Fish and Water by Gengoroh Tagame

August 15, 2026 by vega-table Leave a Comment

Cbr18 Bingo - And: see title, although I'm not sure why it's called that though. Maybe because that's how natural the two characters are together. Fish and Water by Gengoroh Tagame just came out in the US, and even includes non-permission to use the content of the volume for AI. It's the first … [Read more]

    on a downgrade after some reflection for BAD MMC BEHAVIOR
    I really enjoyed many of Abby Jimenez's books, including this one. I'm a bit surprised with myself that I did...
