A pop culture junkie, Katie has an addiction to tragically bad romance novels. In addition, Katie is resolute in her belief that Evans is #BestChris and doesn't understand why people live where it snows. That shit is terrifying.

Why, oh why, hast thou forsaken me, Pattykins?

Dream Spinner by Kristen Ashley

by 2 Comments

Patty has forsaken me. She started me down this damnable path, but seems to have been able to break up with the Ashley. I… have not been so fortunate. Dream Spinner dropped on Tuesday, May 25, 2021. I’d honestly forgotten that I’d even pre-ordered it, but there it was when I opened the kindle app on my phone. Of course I stopped everything to read it. (I hate you so much right now, Pattykins.) Hattie is one of the lead dancers in a burlesque review […]

A Scholastic Book Fair Staple – with reason

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume

by Leave a Comment

I first read Judy Blume’s childhood classic Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing back in third grade when my mom volunteered at the Scholastic Book Fair and picked up a Judy Blume boxed set for me at the recommendation of the school librarian. The set included Tales, Superfudge, Blubber,* and Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. Upon reflection, it was kind of a peculiar combination of books – two mostly comic, if a tad bittersweet, takes on growing up with a younger sibling that […]

Dawn's Early Light (Book 1 of the Williamsburg Series) by Elswyth Thane

by Leave a Comment

Dawn’s Early Light by Elswyth Thane was a huge favorite of my history loving heart when I was a kid. I found it on Amazon Kindle not too long ago and was thrilled to finally be able to revisit this old friend. Of course I purchased it immediately, even if I was a tad concerned about whether or not I should. So often childhood favorites often need to be fondly remembered, but left in the past. Even so, I was kind of shocked by how […]

Much more than super hot, sticky, sweet

Cinnamon Roll (Bold Brew Book 9) by Anna Zabo

by 2 Comments

So, I read this tweet from our very own Emmalita recommending Cinnamon Roll (Bold Brew Book 9) by Anna Zabo because it is a masterclass in setting up the story. It is that. It is also a fantastic example of BDSM romance that is actually safe, sane and consensual while being SUPER sexy. (And BDSM isn’t even a particular kink of mine, so that says A LOT.) Even more importantly, it is a romance novel where the leads actually communicate with each other. I was […]

Full speed rant ahead

Slow Burn by Autumn Jones Lake

by 1 Comment

This began as a review of Slow Burn (Lost Kings MC #1) by Autumn Jones Lake, but quickly evolved into something else entirely as I struggled to adequately express my feelings about the novel. Please be patient with me this time around. I find myself having a surprisingly strong reaction to a book which I was “eh” about. I came across Slow Burn when it was recommended to me by Kindle. Strike that. I came across SB when Kindle recommended the NINETEENTH book in the Lost Kings series […]
