Classic's Reviews:

Lacks Heart of Lunar Chronicles

February 3, 2017 by Classic 2 Comments

I never thought a day would come where I would not be fan-girling over a new Marissa Meyer work. Sadly that day is here. I thought about this a lot last night, and I think the biggest issue I have with this graphic novel, is that the characters we have come to love in the books are so flat in graphic novel form. I just honestly didn’t care what was going to happen throughout and found my mind wandering as I did. And some of […]

Tale as Old as Time

February 2, 2017 by Classic 4 Comments

I read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017: Fairy tale Retelling square. I have carried this book with me to countless countries and on countless vacations at this point. I love “Ravished.” I think Amanda Quick was firing on all cylinders for this one. I ended up reading this after another romance book I started was ticking me off so badly I just ran to my shelves and pulled this book down. You have a hero and heroine you can root for, an A and […]

My Baby’s Got a Secret

February 2, 2017 by Classic 8 Comments

I had plans to read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017, but I already read a book for Man in the Kilt, so this book is just something that I read for my own enjoyment. As a long time Julie Garwood fan, I have to say the saddest day for me was when she stopped writing her historical books. I have tried to get into her contemporary works, and each and every time ended up DNFing the book. I still have most of her historical […]

So Glad to be Done With This Trilogy

February 1, 2017 by Classic 6 Comments

Trigger warning: Rape.  I read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017: Twins square. Please note that I gave this book 3.5 stars and rounded it up to 4 stars here.   I have to say that the third book in this trilogy is my favorite. Maybe because this book calls back a location from one of Coulter’s medieval books, I want to say “Fire Song”. I have to look it up. Either way, I loved the little Easter eggs that are dropped. Plus we get […]

Second Book in Magic Trilogy Better Than the First

February 1, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

I read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017: Rogue square.  Please note that I gave this book 3.5 stars and rounded it up to 4 here.  I was tempted to just say slavery is bad and be done with this review, but no, I have to elaborate. Honestly this is not as bad as the first book in the Magic Trilogy, but it’s still about a 3 out of 5 for me. Maybe because the whole slavery aspect of this book was so distasteful. At […]

Another Goodbye Girl

February 1, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

I read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017: Guy/Girl Next Door square. Though I really did enjoy 2 out of the 3 Dessen books I reviewed yesterday, this one fell very short. It has classic Dessen moments (or what I consider classic). However, the flow of this book was pretty bad. It took me a while to get through it, and I am not going to lie, I started skimming a bit last night because I was seriously bored the whole time. I think the […]
