Just popping in to say a very heartfelt “Thank You!” to my excellent Book Exchange gifter, Dome Loki for these lovely additions to my TBR! A Deadly Education is new to me, which is exciting, and I’ve loved other books by both Faith Erin Hicks & Rainbow Rowell, so I have high hopes for Pumpkinheads. Great choices! Huge thanks & Happy New Year to DomeLoki & all. 💜
“People like to believe that there is nothing we do not know. The human body, for instance: people tell themselves that all of its mysteries have already been uncovered….
Not Quite A Ghost by Anne Ursu
The genome has been mapped. The systems studied. Everything is known. Just like theworld, they tell themselves. The mysteries have all been solved. There is nothing that could possibly lurk beyond what humans can apprehend. They are wrong. When a virus slips its way into a body, sometimes that body reacts in unexpected ways. It marshals all its defenses and attacks; after all, the virus does not mean well—and then, sometimes, even when the intruder is gone, it keeps attacking. It doesn’t even remember why. […]
This is how I get in trouble when ppl ask me what books are about
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
Wrong Alibi by Christina Dodd
Tourist Season by Brynne Weaver
Because none of these three books was technically focused on what these reviews are focused on, but still, I promise these reviews are about these books. Somehow. Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter – Gory & intense, but it probably should be, given the subject matter, which is kidnapping, rape, torture, missing women and children. It was a rough read, that’s for sure, but I also thought it was pretty good. Thought the author did a great job of talking about the way tragedies impact families, how […]
“I Notice You” Her whole life she tried hard not to be noticed, but it never felt as dangerous as it was when this man – all strong hands and set jaw – noticed her. As if she didn’t have enough mess to contend with.”
These Summer Storms by Sarah MacLean
Do you have any authors that you feel like, if you met them in real life, you’d just automatically be friends? Something about their voice, their tone, their sense of humor, the way their background characters lovingly put up with their stupid-ass, obviously-in-love-but-too-blind-to-see-it best friends : Just something about how they write hits you exactly right and you’re convinced, “Yes, this person and I are obviously simpatico, long-lost BFFs”? The author that most fits into that category for me is Sarah MacLean. Now, this may be […]
“Had me in the first half, I’m not going to lie..”
Perils of Pleasure by Julie Anne Long
Like No Other Lover by Julie Anne Long
Since the Surrender by Julie Anne Long
I Kissed An Earl by Julie Anne Long
What I Did for A Duke by Julie Anne Long
Making my way through the Pennyroyal Green series by Julie Anne Long, but dependent upon the library, so, while I’ve read these all this year, they weren’t exactly in order. Luckily, I’ve been keeping notes. Now that the top five are covered, I figured I’d put out this half of the reviews. Spoilers abound! Perils of Pleasure – Colin Eversea is trouble – but it’s rogue-ish trouble, typically – And yet, we find our hero headed for the hangman’s noose, literally, about to hang for a […]
I do like the PWHL games, though, in my own defense.
The Pilot & The Puck-Up by Pippa Grant
Royally Pucked by Pippa Grant
Beauty & The Beefcake by Pippa Grant
Charming as Puck by Pippa Grant
I Pucking Love You by Pippa Grant
My uncle is watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They are endless and eternal, seemingly. But I love my uncle, and he’s letting me stay with him, & there’s only one tv in the whole house. (Actual, unbelievable facts in the year of our lord 2025.) So I am also ‘watching’ the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I have a sports aversion: It comes from years of being tortured by sports equipment of every shape, size, heft, weight, length & form. If there is a ball in a […]
