Meal

Meal by Blue Deliquanti, Soleil Ho

by Leave a Comment

From this graphic novel I have learned that I should not request graphic novel ARCs from NetGalley. I have to read them on my laptop, which is not great for such a visual medium. This particular ARC had watermarks over the pages which made them even harder to read. I did receive this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. You should take my review with a grain of salt, because there were things working against my experience which you would not have if you bought the graphic novel in hard copy. Yarrow is a young chef determined to […]

They Each Had to Throw Themselves Overboard

Three Part Harmony (Plot Twist) by Holley Trent

by Leave a Comment

I really enjoyed Three Part Harmony. Menage isn’t really my interest in romance. I have a hard enough time believing two people can make it work, anything beyond that strains credulity. Holley Trent really makes it work in this book. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The cover of this book is a lie. None of these characters are babies. They are each adults struggling with the stuff that adults struggle with – success, failure, motivation, and still trying to figure out their relationships with their families. The threesome is Raleigh, Bruce and Everley. […]

You Know What They Say About Assumptions

Stacked (Devil's Bastards MC Book 1) by Aviva Blakeman

by Leave a Comment

Publishing a first book is an act of bravery. Telling your friends you’ve written a book and inviting them to read it is braver still. I’ve known Aviva online for a few years, so when she revealed that she had published two books, I was excited. When she offered me the first book, I was terrified. I want to at least like every book I read, and when it’s written by someone I like, I want to like it even more. I liked Stacked. It is very definitely a first book in the sense of a first published book and the […]

If You’re Lying, Callie, Do it Well.

Desire and the Deep Blue Sea by Olivia Dade

by 2 Comments

Olivia Dade’s Teach Me was one of my favorite books this year. I was thrilled to be offered an ARC for Desire and the Deep Blue Sea by the author in exchange for an honest review. Edit: Today is release day for Desire and the Deep Blue Sea. I decided to come back and look at the review before tweeting it out and posting it on Amazon. I remembered I struggled with this review. Around the time I initially wrote this, my brain was protesting that I was wording too much for too many different people. When I reread my original […]

Has anyone told you how dramatic you are?

One Day to Fall by Therese Beharrie

by Leave a Comment

I requested this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review at the same time that I requested Therese Beharrie’s Island Fling with the Tycoon. I’m so glad I was given both books. I follow Beharrie on Twitter, where she is funny and smart. One Day to Fall is so good. It’s out on August 12. Sophia is at the hospital with her mother and younger sister while her older sister is in labor. Parker is at the same hospital where his mother has been treated for injuries after being hit by a car. Sophia’s relationships with her mother and sisters have been […]

Monomachy (n.) a fight between two lone combatants; a duel.

The Cabinet of Linguistic Curiosities: A Yearbook of Forgotten Words by Paul Anthony Jones

by Leave a Comment

On a whim, I requested The Cabinet of Linguistic Curiosities: A Yearbook of Forgotten Words from NetGalley. I received it in exchange for an honest review. Unlike most NetGalley books, this one was released in 2017 and is available now. I’ve enjoyed it and would recommend it as a gift for language lovers. It is what it says it is, a year’s worth of forgotten words arranged by date, often the word is related to an incident that happened on that date in history. It’s fun, occasional reading. The author, Paul Anthony Jones, is clearly a lover of words. He […]

The fact that she had sheet-cake frosting smudged on the corner of her mouth did nothing to diminish her authority

Unsung Heroine by Sarah Kuhn

by Leave a Comment

I have been reading but not reviewing Sarah Kuhn’s Heroine Complex series. I was very happy to get an ARC of Unsung Heroine from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. At some point I will review the three previous books – Heroine Complex, Heroine Worship, and Heroine’s Journey. I will say now that they are fun books, and you should definitely read them before picking up this novella. Unsung Heroine focuses on Lucy Valdez, the bodyguard with no superpowers, but awesome fighting skills, a killer fashion sense, reigning karaoke champion, and a deep love of British mystery shows. She is also in […]
