This was a sweet little romance recommended by Mrs. Julien. My only complaint is that it was too short. Having just made that complaint, go ahead and skip the prologue. There are already two reviews of this up, so I don’t really feel the need to do a plot synopsis. You can read Mrs. Julien’s review and Beth Ellen’s review yourselves. Diving right in, Anne-Marie and Kit instantly have a lot of lustful thoughts about one another. Being freshly divorced and harshly judged for it, Anne-Marie is not […]
Rereading and Co-Writing with Angry Dimples – Harry Potter for Sanity and Resistance, Book 3
This is the last of the Harry Potter books that I consider to be within the Children’s genre. After this, I will label them as YA. Joining me in this review is Angry Dimples, a Pajiban and new Cannonballer. We have no respect for new readers. If you don’t know the whole series, stop reading now. There will be no spoiler coddling! My main prompt for starting The Great 2017 Harry Potter Reread was Angry Dimples. She started her own reread and wanted to talk […]
Exit, pursued by snickering hound.
I was not prepared for how much I enjoyed this book. At all. And I liked Act Like It, but Pretty Face was even better. I must admit that I hate Lucy Parker’s titles. They are not at all indicative of the witty writing and wry, wonderful characters inside. I picked it up to browse the first couple of pages and the I couldn’t put it down. I read while my sinuses threw yet another mucus festival. I read while I walked the dog. I […]
I Didn’t Review This Last Year
After reading Malin’s rave review of A Promise of Fire last year, I read the book but for some reason I didn’t review it. I have no idea why. Last year was a weird year. I enjoyed the book last year and even more when I reread it a few days ago. As I was writing my review of Breath of Fire, I realized I hadn’t written this review last year. The Kingmaker Chronicals are set in a land called Thalyria, which is broken into three […]
Middle Books are Hard
My biggest problem with this book is that I have to wait 11 months for the next one. I do have other problems with the book, but while I’m griping and picking, keep in mind that my biggest resentment is the wait for more. I really enjoyed the first book of the series, and I still enjoyed both the characters and the writing in this one. Cat, Griffin, his family and Beta Team are lively and interesting characters. Breath of Fire, as a whole, didn’t hang […]
Rereading Harry Potter for Sanity and Resistance, Book 2
The second Harry Potter book is not my favorite in the series. It’s not bad, it’s just not my favorite. I am going to assume that if you are reading this review you are familiar with the series and I’m not going to worry about spoilers. That said, it’s the one where some very important political ideas are brought forward – most importantly, how do we divide ourselves, how do we treat people who are not exactly like us? Dobie the House Elf makes his […]
