I See the Appeal

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

January 25, 2023 by ASKReviews 2 Comments

Best for: Fans of cleverly constructed who done its. In a nutshell: A group of retirees investigate the murders of contractors planning to expand their retirement community. Worth quoting: N/A (Audio book) Why I chose it: I think the second or third book in this series was recently released, and I keep seeing this everywhere. I decided to see if I could enjoy a fiction audio book. Turns out I can. What it left me feeling: Impressed Review: What fun. Which, I know, weird thing […]

The Frozen Crown

Who’s Your Daddy

The Frozen Crown by Greta Kelly

January 24, 2023 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

I got The Frozen Crown on audiobook a while ago and only recently finished it. Not because it wasn’t good, I did like it, I think I’ve just been more interested in print books lately. Askia is the heir to the kingdom of Saravesh. Her kingdom is invaded by the ruler of the Roven Empire, Radovan, who wants her for her magic abilities. Magic abilities she has to keep hidden because of the Shazir, magic hunting priests and zealots killed her parents for plot reasons. […]

You Say Tomato, I Say Tomato

Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World by William Alexander

January 20, 2023 by yesknopemaybe Leave a Comment

Do you ever read a book’s marketing summary after finishing a book and wonder what in the world they’re going on about? The teaser for “Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World” by William Alexander starts off like this: “The tomato gets no respect. Never has. Stored in the dustbin of history for centuries, accused of being vile and poisonous, appropriated as wartime propaganda, subjected to being picked hard-green and gassed, even used as a projectile, the poor tomato is the Rodney Dangerfield of foods. Yet, […]

‘The Habsburgs were the first rulers whose power encompassed the world, and they achieved greatness by luck and by force.’

The Habsburgs: The Rise and Fall of a World Power by Martyn Rady

In The Last Emperor of Mexico: The Dramatic Story of the Habsburg Archduke Who Created a Kingdom in the New World by Edward Shawcross

January 18, 2023 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

For all the royal watching going on right now, its the British Royal Family that’s hugging the spotlight. And, really, how could they not? Liz the Second—who we all thought was destined to live forever—shockingly popped her clogs last year. And now her grandson seems to be taking his turn airing out the dirty laundry, much to people’s delight. But the lives of royals are always ripe for high drama, if you are into that kind of thing. So I’m going to ring in the […]

The British Press Need to Do Better

Spare by Prince Harry

January 17, 2023 by ASKReviews 8 Comments

Best for: Those interested in a very different perspective on not just the British royal family overall, but how life in it has impacted Prince Harry and his family. In a nutshell: Member of the British Royal family, second child to Princess Diana and Prince Charles (hence ‘spare’,) provide insight into his childhood, young adulthood, and adulthood, focusing often on the machinations of the British press (and his family’s complicity). Worth quoting: I mean, there’s a lot here, but everyone’s focused on him talking about […]

The Cartographers (DNF)

The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd

January 17, 2023 by Owlizabeth Leave a Comment

I come from the review school of “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” and so generally avoid sharing my did not finish (DNFs) books. I’m a mood reader! Taste is subjective! Don’t yuck someone else’s yum! I’ve set books aside thinking I hate them and picked them up months later and fallen absolutely in love! So, yeah, this is very strange and uncomfortable for me, but this book made me so angry I have to share. Basic synopsis: […]
