CBR17 Book Bingo Reading Challenge Wrap-up
Thank you to everyone who has joined me on this bingo journey! I couldn’t do this without all of you, whether you wrote one review, or 25. None of this would happen without yesknopemaybe, who creates the best book bingo cards on the internet, and MsWas, who tells me every year that I can do this. On to the wrap-up. Initially, I wanted to make this year’s bingo categories easy, because I knew this would be a hard year for a lot of us. But then […]
I’m disappointed
Dom-Com by Adriana Anders
So…I’ve enjoyed Adriana Anders’ books in the past. There’s a character inconsistency that I just couldn’t let go of. Very early in the book, Grant and Rae meet when she goes to the BDSM club in which he’s a silent partner. She’s a newbie and he ejects a pushy dominant, tells her what to expect from a good dominant, and then they engage in a short power exchange before she flees into the night. On Monday they discover that they work together – she’s the […]

Consider me stretched, hydrated and respectfully feral
Read Me Slow by Charish Read
I’m going to read everything Charish Reid writes, and I’m going to like it because I like the way she writes. Read Me Slow is a lovely steamy short novel about a romance writer who needs a narrator and her younger brother’s best friend, a horror podcaster, who steps in to help. Maya is doing well as a self publishing romance author. When her usual narrators announce that they are splitting up and won’t be recording her soon to be released book, Maya is in […]
She’s as bisexual as the next person, but this is not some highly evolved plea for implied polyamory or whatever.
Alice Rue Evades the Truth by Emily Zipps
Alice Rue Evades the Truth is lovely, but I’m struggling with it being labeled as a romcom. There’s romance and there is comedy, but there’s so much more focus on loneliness and isolation. The book is While You Were Sleeping, but make it gay and more Jewish. I want to be clear that I enjoyed Alice Rue and there are definitely funny parts, I just worry that people will expect a light romantic comedy and that’s not what this is. Alice Rue works as the […]
