Where we don’t even need to have a Ravenel, just stay w/these characters please

Hello Stranger by Lisa Kleypas

Devil's Daughter by Lisa Kleypas

Chasing Cassandra by Lisa Kleypas

Devil in Disguise by Lisa Kleypas

October 12, 2022 by NTE 2 Comments

Here’s part two of my Ravenel series wrap-up. Reminder that here be spoilers aplenty, and that if you just need somebody to tell you the books are worth your time, you have it. Feel free to come back to discuss after you’ve read them. Now I know I said in my previous post that the internet favorite was Marrying Winterborne, and that all the praise that’s been heaped upon it was well-deserved. I stand by that. But my personal favorite of the Ravenel series is […]

Where Hype is Well-Deserved

Cold-Hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas

Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas

Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas

October 12, 2022 by NTE 2 Comments

I zipped my way through the Ravenels, a choice made completely dependent on the fact that Fated Mates was going to be doing a show on Marrying Winterborne, and I wanted in on the hype. It’s such well-deserved hype though, guys. If you’re a historical romance reader, and you haven’t read a Lisa Kleypas book, I’m confused about what you ARE reading, quite honestly. Because Kleypas is a Queen Bee of the genre, and that’s not just my opinion. But it is definitely my opinion. […]

Quick Pandemic Lit Rec for Littles

Maxine's Critters Get the Vaccine Jitters by Jan Zauzmer

July 13, 2022 by NTE Leave a Comment

    Maxine’s Critters Get the Vaccine Jitters by Jan Zauzmer is a particularly timely story. Maxine lines up all her stuffed animals for their vaccinations, and then heads to her doctor for hers. The rhyme scheme is simple (with a few misses for me, but mostly solid), the illustrations by Corlette Douglas are noisy, creative and fun, and the pro-vaccine message is on point, especially as under-fives can finally get in line too. Understanding that it’s necessary, but also a little scary is something […]

“Mingle! Guide! Delight!” isn’t a bad philosophy

Leave it to Plum by Matt Phelan

June 6, 2022 by NTE 1 Comment

Leave it to Plumby Matt Phelan is the story of a “peppy purple peacock” & his trials & tribulations at the Athensville Zoo. Plum is a legacy – the however many times great grandson of the original zoo peacocks, given free wandering rights at the zoo, who are responsible for mingling, guiding & delighting the zoo’s visitors. Plum’s a great bird, if a little flighty (in the always late & a little scatterbrained way, not the bird way), who friends everywhere, and takes his duties […]

Good job, Past Me

Hideaway by Nora Roberts

June 6, 2022 by NTE Leave a Comment

Nora Roberts is one of my go-to authors – if I’m looking for a book that is just dependable for an entertaining read, I know she’s not going to let me down. She used to be a ‘read immediately upon publication’ author, but I find that if I save her new-to-me-books for days when I just can’t get into anything, or when I’m on day three of a migraine (the day that’s more like a migraine hangover for me, where I can kind of focus, […]
