My friend wrote a book (two, actually) and you won’t be able to read it if you can’t read Danish

Kraft & Mod (Courage) by Trine J. Cederlof

4.5 stars Nowhere Book Bingo 26: A Middle Grade Book Defeat the Goblin TBR: The Shiny book (added in December 2024) Disclaimer! The author is a friend of mine, but my opinions are my own, and I bought the book with my own money (because friends make sure friends get royalties). As part of the peace agreement between the Green Shores and the Blue Mountains, Prince Mirounga (called Miro), nephew and heir to the king of the Green Shores, is sent into fosterage to the Blue Mountains.

A Regency Parent Trap retelling

Better Than a Duke by Suzanne Enoch

by Leave a Comment

Thank you to NetGalley and Bramble for this ARC. My opinions are my own. Beckett Raines, the Marquis of Hentrose, has been widowed for ten years, leaving him a single father to young Rebecca (who would like to be known as Lady Becks). He’s been aided by a number of loyal servants, but now his meddling mother has decided that it’s time for him to marry an appropriate woman who can be a good role model to the girl. Because Beckett was guided by his […]

Reading Rainbow – Purple/violet cover It’s 1811. Winnifred “Winnie” Wallace just wants to settle down in a small town in Wales and raise sheep. She has a modest amount of money, given to her by her con woman mother before said woman absconded to France. However, being a single woman trying to establish herself leads to a lot of suspicion, so Winnie fibs a tiny bit and claims to be married, but estranged from her husband. She literally makes up a name and an address […]

The Halifax Hellions by Alexandra Vasti

Novella 1: In Which Margo Halifax Earns Her Shocking Reputation (3.5 stars) Novella 2: In Which Matilda Halifax Learns the Value of Restraint (4.5 stars) Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for this ARC. My opinions are my own. This book collects two previously self-published novellas of Alexandra Vasti’s, and includes an additional epilogue which has never before been available. Margo and Matilda Halifax are identical twins, the wealthy younger sisters of an Earl and have basically been seen as outrageous scandals for […]

“I wasn’t just going to abandon you, Carl,” Donut said. “Who do you think I am? Miss Beatrice?”

by 1 Comment

Carl, Donut and Mongo have made it to the fourth level of the dungeon. This time, there are trains. So many trains. The game appears to have constructed a labyrinthine tangle of all of the world’s underground railway systems, and there are new and strange rules to get used to. There are bounties awarded to anyone who kills any of the players in the top ten, which now include both Carl and Donut. There are all manner of strange monsters on the various trains and […]

Pretty much nothing like the movie

How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell

by Leave a Comment

Read the Rainbow – Red Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III may be the least intimidating Viking in several generations, which is a bit of a problem, since he’s the son of the Chief, and therefore meant to lead the Hairy Hooligans when he gets older. He’s skinny, puny, bookish and not even slightly intimidating, and when he has to compete in the traditional manhood trial of the tribe, and sneak into a cave to capture himself a dragon, he ends up with the smallest, least impressive […]
