“I appreciated it and resented it at the same time.”
The Shaadi Set-Up by Lillie Vale
Lillie Vale’s The Shaadi Set-Up might be in my top ten second chance at love trope romances. The book is frustratingly uneven, but what it does well, it does very well. Rita and Milan started dating very young. They dated through high school and into college until Milan abruptly broke up with Rita in a voicemail right as they were supposed to go to Paris together. Six years later, Milan’s abrupt abandonment is still painful for Rita, but she has moved on with her life. […]
CBR Diversions: Most Memorable Books of the Summer
The other day my Facebook memories was flooded with “10 Most Memorable Books” lists from 7 years ago. Of the 10 books on my list, I would probably still include 3 today. Which got me thinking about the books I’ve read this summer, and which ones I think I will remember, revisit, or recommend as the years go by. I think my most memorable books of the summer are going to be: Becky Chambers’ A Psalm for the Wild Built*. It hit me in exactly […]
This is about the woman and the house that had never been—until one day, they were undeniably there.
The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova
When Orquidea Divina dies, she leaves behind questions, mysteries and a fractured, resentful family. She leaves behind magic, silence, solitude, debts and an enemy. The Montoyas are used to a life without explanations. They know better than to ask why the pantry never seems to run low or empty, or why their matriarch won’t ever leave their home in Four Rivers—even for graduations, weddings, or baptisms. But when Orquídea Divina invites them to her funeral and to collect their inheritance, they hope to learn the […]
This was great! When is the second book coming?
The Councillor by E.J. Beaton
Hi. I loved this. Thank you Aquillia. That’s my review. Ugh, so many more words needed. Also, I know I ask for the next book in the title of this review, but I support writers writing on their own schedule. I started listening to the audiobook, narrated by Moira Quirk, after reading Aquillia’s review. When I got to somewhere near the end, I realized that I did not want this book to end and I did not see any information about a release date for […]
Because when you’re in a room, you’re the only thing I want to look at.
Freedom in Falling by J. Emery
Freedom in Falling has a trope I don’t see often enough – prickly meets a different kind of prickly. West is the more traditionally prickly – grumpy and tightly wound. He keeps people at bay with frowns and coldness. Noah is prickly sunshine. He keeps people at a distance with bright colors, a performance of arrogance, and being kind of an asshole. Both of them are really soft disaster anxiety babies. I liked the way J. Emery unfolded their relationship – from the meet-disaster to […]
