Eat the Rich Unless they were protagonists earlier in the series

Shattered Gods by Katee Robert

June 20, 2026 by Jen K Leave a Comment

I probably should have given up on this series a few books back but there must have been a bit of sunk cost fallacy going on. And it’s a romance series - there’s always the possibility it could have bounced back to the early peaks. More broadly/generally speaking, I have noticed in the past, that … [Read more]

Not a Big Fan of This One

Big Fan: Two Friends, 82,490 Miles, and the Wild, Wonderful Sports We Love by Michael Schur, Joe Posnanski

June 20, 2026 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

By all accounts, I should have been not just a big fan, but a huge fan of this book. I have read and enjoyed Joe Posnanski's writing for years, including his Baseball 100 and Why We Love Baseball projects. I've also been a big fan of Michael Schur's TV writing, with Parks and Rec in particular being … [Read more]

The Feywild Job by C. L. Polk

Magic, Heists, Revenge

The Feywild Job by C. L. Polk

June 19, 2026 by Emmalita 3 Comments

I always find reading therapeutic, even if it’s just an escape into a story. Sometimes I read the perfect book at the perfect time. I’ve been going through a friend break-up and I picked up The Feywild Job at just the right moment for its magic to work on me. Saeldian and Kell have to come to terms … [Read more]

The author looks like someone who would write about a pickle

The Wise Pickle by Sarah Howden

June 19, 2026 by BlackRaven 1 Comment

One will never look at a pickle the same way again.  Or you won’t after reading The Wise Pickle by Sarah Howden and illustrated by Sabina Hahn. Due mid/later June 2026 I read this book via an online copy. First, be prepared to witness weirdness. I mean a talking pickle for starters is really … [Read more]

    I'm usually not one to read books aimed at young kids, but you've got me curious now
