You’re a trickster singular, Rachel Morgan

October 9, 2015 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

At last, I have returned to Rachel Morgan and The Hollows. Thanks to Malin, I was able to cruise through the first 11 books of the series. I find marathoning books just isn’t the same as marathoning tv. I become more immersed in the world of books than tv, and then I feel hungover and a little put off. I tried to read The Undead Pool back in February, but I just couldn’t get into it. It was all me though. So I put it […]

It all hinges on kindness

September 30, 2015 by Emmalita 6 Comments

Many months ago, Malin and Mrs. Julien got me reading Julie Anne Long’s Pennyroyal Green series. I read and reviewed What I Did For a Duke and then I went back and read the series from the beginning. I marathon read all but the penultimate book in the series. I always fully intend to review each book I read, but when I marathon a series like this the books blur together and I no longer have specific thoughts about specific books. Sometimes I’ll try to […]

Sweet, Dirty, and Wild

September 29, 2015 by Emmalita 2 Comments

I do tend to follow along behind Malin and Mrs. Julien when it comes to reading Romance. They have good taste and I can take their suggestions and not read the books that induce feelings of rage. The Wild Season series is my first experience with the bff writing team known as Christina Lauren. I read all three books this weekend and enjoyed them. Often with series the first book is the strongest and they go down from there. In this case, I found that […]

Killing Pretty by Richard Kadrey

September 22, 2015 by Emmalita 6 Comments

Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday tooo meeeee. I got me some Richard Kadrey! As I demonstrated back in March and April, I love Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim series. Killing Pretty was released a few weeks ago, but at a higher price point than my budget will tolerate, so I decided to save it for my birthday. And yes, I woke up this morning at 6:30, bought it and began listening to the audio narration. Now I’ve written an off the […]

You can take the Beast Lord out of the Citadel, but you can’t take the Lord out of the Beast.

September 7, 2015 by Emmalita 5 Comments

First, I would like to thank the lovely Malin for making it possible for me to read Magic Shifts at this time. Yes, I could have waited until I had an extra $13 or until it was available at the library, but that would have been weeks. So thank you, Malin. Second, there will be spoilers for the previous books as well as little spoilers for this one. I don’t know how to write about the series without getting into spoilers. If you haven’t read […]

But I Don’t Like Jane Eyre!

September 3, 2015 by Emmalita 6 Comments

Susan Elizabeth Phillips is one of my longtime favorite authors. I don’t love all her books or everything about her books, but I always know I will at least have a few hours of enjoyment. Heroes Are My Weakness is familiar ground for SEP – A down on her luck woman who disguises her fear with sass, a man who disguises his protective instincts with brooding or asshole behavior. As with Mary Balogh, Susan Elizabeth Philipps brings together wounded people who heal themselves as well […]
