Another roundup (sorry)

Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert

Transference by BT Keaton

Children of Virtue and Vengance by Tomi Adeyemi

How Much Of These Hills Is Gold by C Pam Zhang

by 2 Comments

Another week, another reading roundup from me. Some of these I am sorry to not give more space to and some of these I’m just glad to have in the “done” column. We’ll start with the best of the bunch and then follow in no particular order. Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert The third in the Brown Sisters trilogy and each has gotten better and better. They’re all just very solid romance novels – engaging plot, endearing characters, quick witted dialogue, just a […]

Anxiety aside, read this book (spoilers!)

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

by Leave a Comment

Beartown, also by Fredrik Backman, was a rough read for me so I found myself stalling on Anxious People. I had peeked at the jacket summary but wasn’t convinced it wouldn’t wreak the same kind of emotional havoc. Reader, I was so so wrong and this is a strong contender for book of the year. This review is going to lean hard into spoilers because I’m not sure how to process it without them but I’ll frontload with a non-spoilery summary. The book tells two stories […]

I got behind again

When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole

Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson

The Unsuitable by Molly Pohlig

The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott

by 3 Comments

Doozy of a post coming up because I got way behind whoops. We’ll start with my favorite of the bunch but these are all honestly 3 stars and above, some solid reads here. When No One Is Watching, by Alyssa Cole A gentrification thriller that feels all too plausible and is also a way to learn about the history and impact of gentrification without feeling preached at (I do a lot of preaching). It could be easy to call this a “what if gentrification was […]

Living breathing mythology

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

by Leave a Comment

If you’re dauted by the idea of Piranesi because Susanna Clarke’s other major novel Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell rolls in at just over a solid thousand pages, you can relax. By her standards, this is a novella and, unsurprisingly, a very very good one. Clarke creates my favorite kind of worlds, the ones just a degree or two separate from ours, and Piranesi is another master class. Piranesi lives in a large house he has never been able to fully explore, but that he documents thoroughly because […]

For the Nesta stans

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J Maas

by 2 Comments

Oh, Sarah J. Maas, I cannot quit you. I thought I was done with A Court of Thorns and Roses but then I found people who love/hate it as much as I do, I bullied a friend into reading it, and I got stuck without a book so I ended up rereading the entire series. I KNOW. Anyway. Here we are. I reread all three and then zipped right through the latest, all 768 pages of it. Is Sarah J. Maas more than one person, James […]
