Just Like This by Cole McCade

November 25, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Cole McCade writes beautifully. It felt at times, while I was reading Just Like This, that McCade was getting the ink for his story right out of my well of feelings. I am allergic to my own feelings and would much rather experience them by proxy through fictional characters. McCade doesn’t let me do that. Just Like This is the second book in the Albin Academy series. Albin Academy is a boarding school mostly for boys rich families find troublesome. The teachers and staff also live […]

When Asking A Goddess for a Boon, Be Careful How You Word Your Request

Take A Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

November 23, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I read and thoroughly enjoyed the first book in Talia Hibbert’s the Brown Sisters trilogy, Get a Life, Chloe Brown. Knowing that I would likely enjoy the second book, Take a Hint, Dani Brown, I put off reading it – as one does. This was both genius and foolish because, of course I loved it. I loved it even more than Get a Life. When Take a Hint opens, Dani Brown and her best friend Sorcha are performing a ritual, calling to the goddess Oshun. Dani wants […]

I loved this anthology of holiday romance novellas. I knew I would. When Elizabeth announced she was putting together an anthology of romances centered around non-Christian holidays, I knew she would put out a thoughtful and entertaining book. I’m hoping this will be the first of many Love All Year anthologies. All of the stories were lovely, each in their own way. I wasn’t ready for any of them to be done when I reached the end. For the most part, the stories were about […]

The Theme is Adventure

Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 6 by Rachel Kramer Bussel

November 13, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I didn’t entirely consider that I would be writing a review of erotica for the Cannonball Read audience when I requested Rachel Kramer Bussel’s Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, Volume 6 from NetGalley. I just thought about how much I wanted to read it. I got a copy of this arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I don’t generally review erotica because to do so in a meaningful way would get rather more revelatory than I usually do. With an anthology […]

CBR Diversions – To Give a Book, or Not to Give a Book…

November 13, 2020 by Emmalita 13 Comments

When I get a little money, I buy books; if any is left, I buy food and clothes. – Erasmus The season of gift giving holidays, including our own Holiday Book Exchange, is approaching. You have an excuse to buy books! That makes this the right time to ask you for your opinions on: Books to give as gifts, Book-related things to give the book lover who has already bought the book you were planning to give them, Gifts that you, a book lover, can […]
