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: […]

Let’s Make 2023 Monarchy Free

Spare by Prince Harry

January 14, 2023 by yesknopemaybe 13 Comments

I wasn’t going to read “Spare” because memoir is one of my least favorite genres and celebrity/political memoirs are usually the worst in terms of quality and content. However, my anti-monarchist curiosity got the best of me after watching the gutter press devolve into hysterics in the lead-up to the book’s publication. It’s not surprising, given that Harry paints UK tabloid culture as the ultimate villain in his life story. If I were The Daily Fail or one of those other rags, I’d be trying […]

Let the Intergalactic Bachelor Show Begin!

Sweep of the Heart by Ilona Andrews

January 11, 2023 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Ilona Andrews is a highly bingeable author. I rather mindlessly requested the Sweep of the Heart audiobook from NetGalley not expecting to actually get it. I read the first book in the series a long time ago and have not read the other four books in the series. When I got the email telling me the audiobook was available to download, I took on the challenge of rereading Clean Sweep and then reading the other  books in 3 days so that I could listen to Sweep of the […]

Jim Butcher: I would like to kick you in the shins.

Battle Ground (The Dresden Files #17) by Jim Butcher

January 8, 2023 by cheerbrarian 2 Comments

At the time of this writing, I have not finished reading this book, but I needed to take a break to commit some rage to the page. If anyone knows the whereabouts of author Jim Butcher so that I could have the quick opportunity to kick him in the shins, please let me know. I’ll be in and out before he knows what hit him, the “what” being my tiny feet. This is going to be a spoiler-tastic review (in fact, I’m going to reference […]
