I have been a silent Pajiba reader for over a decade. I’ve been meaning to join CBR for so long... and now that my damn smart phone has distracted me far too often, I want to refocus on reading! I was able to get back into reading in 2019, but failed at posting enough reviews of books. Now, in 2021, Imma try to post dem reviews! :D

Unpopular Opinions about Popular Fiction

All Are Welcome by Liz Parker

by 4 Comments

I was definitely excited when I read the summary for this book; a modern romance featuring the wedding of a lesbian couple?! Yes, please. I am craving a lot more diverse and realistically representative fiction in my life lately, and this seemed like a great option. It was suggested to me in one of my book services as a fun summer read. Well damn. I’m sorry to say it wasn’t fun at all. Not all of my books have to be fun, but good lord, […]

Pink Panties and Devilish Men

Wicked and the Wallflower by Sarah MacLean

  Hoo boy, do I chuckle at my newfound shamelessness. Perhaps one of the best parts of being in my thirties is my solid belief that I just don’t GAF what anybody thinks about me anymore.

The story features ridiculous characters, including a comically “plain” female lead […]

A Joyous Reintroduction to My True Love

Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty

Long ago, I accepted my own propensity for being terrible at doing certain things “on time.” Especially if it has to do with sending mail or letters, holidays, birthdays, cards, and actually writing things down… I will probably drag my feet, get wrapped up in emotions, focus too much on perfectionism, and fail at accomplishing my postal-related goals. Six Wakes was one of my beautiful, shiny, inspiring Xmas exchange gifts from MsWas. Guess who didn’t write a post when she got her box? Me. Shameful, […]

Only Certain Hearts are Bears

My Boyfriend is a Bear by Pamela Ribon and Cat Farris

by 5 Comments

In my family, we use the term “bear” to denote a particular kind of person. Not everyone is a bear, though it’s certainly not something to engender jealousy. A bear is born a bear. Bears are dear people, sensitive souls, kind humans bordering on empaths. Bears are loyal, if not perhaps a little clannish at times. Bears may seem fierce in their daily lives, intimidating to some due to their great-big hearts which drive their great-big goals. But underneath the teeth and fluff lies an […]
