There Will Be a Feast

December 14, 2018 by Emmalita 1 Comment

Do you even know how much I heart narfna? I knew I was in for a treat when her name was on the paper that fell out of Salt Fat Acid Heat. Speaking of Salt Fat Acid Heat, I watched the 4 episode Netflix series and I recommend it, even if cooking shows aren’t your thing. Samin Nosrat is such a joy. I have read the many positive reviews of Circe and I am so excited about reading it. I asked and narfna provided.

By the Stars We Hope

December 7, 2018 by Emmalita 3 Comments

Earlier this year narfna posted her review of Record of a Spaceborn Few and in the comments she assured me that even less happens in this third installment of the Wayfarers series. I was delighted. It is generally acknowledged that science fiction takes our current major concerns and conflicts and sets them in the future, usually a more scientifically advanced future. Becky Chambers tweaks that a bit by having her characters preoccupied with the same minutia that preoccupies us all – our relationships, our work, our […]

Almost a Favorite

December 1, 2018 by Emmalita 7 Comments

Jasmine Guillory’s The Proposal was one of my most anticipated books of the year. I enjoyed The Wedding Date and was looking forward to where Guillory would go with Carlos. The taste we were given of a botched public proposal whetted my appetite further. When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn’t the hard part–they’ve only been dating for five months, […]

This is the End of BINGO!

December 1, 2018 by Emmalita 6 Comments

We have reached the last pages of the last chapter of CBR10 Bingo. We still have a very exciting epilogue where we announce who wins which prizes in the Bingo raffle drawing. The drawing will most likely happen tomorrow evening, so please check my numbers below and let me know if I missed a review or a bingo.

I’m Taking Off A Star For the Title

November 30, 2018 by Emmalita 4 Comments

I really hate the title. If I hadn’t read FyreHaar’s review, I would never have touched a book called RAFE: A Buff Male Nanny. It sounds like bad porn that’s trying to have a plot. It’s actually a pretty sweet contemporary romance. I follow Rebekah Weatherspoon on twitter and find her to be sharp, smart and funny. I was looking for a reason to try one of her books, but I wasn’t feeling enthusiastic about the titles. I recognize this as a me problem, however it’s […]
