A pop culture junkie, Katie's addiction to tragically bad romance novels is managed and supervised by Cricket, a 20lb. terrier mix. 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.

Warren Zevon is not the appropriate soundtrack

The Silver Wolf by Alice Borchardt

by 1 Comment

Do you have one of those books that you can pick up, open it to any page, and start reading, knowing exactly what is going on? And you find this comforting, familiar, the book equivalent of an old friend. THE SILVER WOLF by Alice Borchardt is such a book for me. It’s one of those books that I have in hardback and on my Kindle so I can read it whenever. I originally picked it up at a local bookstore that doesn’t exist anymore. I was lured in because of a small sign recommending it to fans of Anne Rice. (At […]

You’ll never look at a library the same way

Stacked by Aviva Blakeman

by Leave a Comment

Note: I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. Not gonna lie, I was hesitant to read and review Stacked, because the author is a dear friend, but no need to worry! It was thoroughly enjoyable. A couple of things really stood out to me as I read this first installment of the Devil’s Bastards MC series: First, the author can impart a hell of lot of information about the protagonists during their meet cute. Both characters were immediately likable, which I really appreciated. None of this tortured alphahole who must be […]

Ghostwriter, the pattern is full

The Hookup (Moonlight & Motor Oil Series Book 1) by Kristen Ashley

by 5 Comments

Katie: Gentle Reader, for my fourth Cannonball (third as half of PattyKates), it is somehow fitting that our first review is a new release by none other than Kristen Ashley. It seems like an obvious choice in retrospect, but we were actually stumped about what it would be until we realized that she had recently released The Hookup, the start of her new Moonlight and Motor Oil series.   Summary: Eliza is a good girl and new to Matlock, Ky. As with many of KA’s heroines, she’s overcome a lot to find a little niche of happiness. She’s got a […]

The things I do for my friends…

Darker by E. L. James

by 9 Comments

So, gentle reader, the target of my blinding rage this time is not Pattykins. I know. I’m surprised, too. Instead, it was caused by someone I used to think of as one of the best people I know. USED TO. It’s my fault, I suppose. I poked the bear by ranting about refusing to read Darker by E.L. James. It is the fifth installment in the Fifty Shades series, and the second time we’re hearing the story from Christian’s perspective. I know before reading the first word that it is going to be the written equivalent of a dumpster fire. […]

Toxic Masculinity Meets Estrogen Poisoning

The Protector (Men of the North, Book 1) by Elin Peer

by 4 Comments

Lord have mercy, do we have a treat for y’all.  Be forewarned, this review is going to be rife with gifs, memes, and spoilers because… you’ll see. It’s a doozy. The year is 2437. There are about 2 billion people left on earth after World War III (aka “The Toxic War”) which broke out in 2057 and lasted until 2060. At that point, women outnumbered men 26 to 1 and it was the general consensus that “male pride and aggression” caused the near destruction of the planet. A new world order is in play, one were 5 commandment-like laws rule […]

I feel like Alicia Silverstone in Clueless: Way harsh, Tai.

The Gloaming: Rise of the Stealth Elder Vampire by ML Worthingham

by 4 Comments

I was provided a copy of The Gloaming: Rise of the Stealth Vampire Elder by ML Worthingham free of charge in exchange for a fair and honest review. I was all… YES. FREE BOOK. WHAT ISN’T TO LIKE? Then I started actually reading the thing. The title should have been the first clue as to what I’d find, but honestly my mind was still stuck on “yay! Free book!” Doesn’t it sound like the title of an Edith Wharton novel or something? Or maybe a Brontë since gloaming is old English for twilight or dusk. This is helpfully defined for […]

Maybe Courtney Milan has spoiled me and my expectations are too high

The Best Man (Blue Heron Series - Book 1) by Kristan Higgins

by 5 Comments

As is so often the case with the books I review, this read began with a message from Patty: “I’m reading this book. It’s gotten off to a really good start and is quite funny in parts.” Of course I immediately check it out and purchase from Amazon. It’s what I do. I really should know better by now.  Having been battling alternating bouts of rage, frustration, and fear for awhile now, The Best Man (Blue Heron Series – Book 1) by Kristen Higgans sounded like a nice respite. The reviews on both Amazon and Goodreads were stellar, and almost universally […]

So much more than that girl standing on the subway grate

Unfinished: A Graphic Novel of Marilyn Monroe by Elizabeth Periale

by 3 Comments

I was offered an advance copy of UNFINISHED: A Graphic Novel of Marilyn Monroe by Elizabeth Periale in exchange for a timely and fair review. Y’ALL. THIS THING IS FUCKING GORGEOUS. Why did we as adults give up one of the best parts of books? The illustration for goodness sake. I mean, how could it not be considering that its subject matter is one of the iconic beauties of the 20th Century? It’s more than that though. You can tell that a great deal of care was taken in developing the look of this book. Color palette, different type fonts […]
