This is such a weird book and I loved it. There were some plot holes here and there which is the only reason why I am giving this 4 stars. This is an alternate story to Lady Jane and here is some information for you people out there who don’t know who Lady Jane Grey is. Lady Jane Grey (1536/1537 – 12 February 1554), also known as Lady Jane Dudley or the Nine-Day Queen, was an English noblewoman and de facto monarch of England and Ireland from 10 […]
Run, Read This, And Go Tell That
Wow. Just wow. I saw this movie two weeks ago and was blown away by it. Reading the book just gave me even more details about the African American women who came out as human computers (I had no idea that was where the word computers came from, they computed so were seen as computers) and helped shaped the United States space program. Shetterly has historian disease (yeah I use to suffer from this as well, historians unite!) so the flow was off a few […]
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Oh man. This is going to be a doozy. I am still mad and I finished this up last night. I mean I woke up at one point last night and maybe screeched yelled at the final reveal to this book. I have loved older Koontz books, but his most recent stuff besides the Odd Thomas books hasn’t really resonated with me. The only book I recall that I even “liked” was “The City” and even that got on my nerves at times. I think […]
Young Adult Twist on You’ve Got Mail
Please note that I gave this book 3.5 stars. So all in all I really liked this book. It was cute, and was a great little homage to You’ve Got Mail, which was a great homage to The Shop Around the Corner. I read this for Romance Bingo 2017 and this fits my Young Adult square. Told in the first person, we have Lily, a teenage girl who has a chaotic (but loving) home life, and only has one best friend. Lily plays guitar and […]
Completion of My Quick Romance Reads!
Yes! I am finally done with my reads of some of Amanda Quick’s earlier works (from the 90s). I think I hit peak over this two days ago though. I can’t wait to move onto some other authors. This is the same set-up of most of Quick’s earlier books. Quirky Original in her mid-20s who is in danger of “staying on the shelf” and an older male who knows he should not be attracted to said female, but is, and then denies he is falling […]
Rendezvous
Please note that I gave this book 3.5 stars and rounded it up to 4 stars for this review. Another older Amanda Quick book. I read this for romance bingo and honestly I am glad that I finished up the other Quick book. Her writing style after a while starts to grate. I realize that all of the females in her books are “quirky” and the heroes are long suffering and either want the heroine to fall in love with them or are obtuse to […]
