Book Cover of Never Been Kissed

I need to feel certain in who I’m kissing. I mean, a kiss isn’t just a kiss to me.

Never Been Kissed by Timothy Janovsky

June 14, 2023 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I was so excited when Never Been Kissed was selected as one of the Cannon Book Club Hot Fun in the Summertime books. I hope you, dear reader, will join our discussion on June 23&24. Timothy Janovsky has been on my list of authors I’d like to read for a while. In the large field of m/m (all male love interest) romances, he is one of a few men writing. Even rarer, he is a traditionally published author writing m/m new adult romantic comedies. To […]

The House is on FIre by Rachel Beanland

Do yell fire in a crowded theatre

The House Is on Fire by Rachel Beanland

June 4, 2023 by jomidi Leave a Comment

I really enjoyed Rachel Beanland’s Florence Adler Swims Forever, so I was very excited for her new book The House is on Fire. I was not disappointed and will continue to read this very talented author. The House is on Fire is a historical fiction set in 1811 Richmond, Virginia, based on the true story of a tragic theater fire. I can’t think of another historical fiction set in this time. The nation is young, the Revolutionary War is not too far behind us and […]

highly suspicious and unfairly cute by talia hibbert

I can’t think of a reason not to give this five stars.

Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert

May 19, 2023 by narfna Leave a Comment

Just FYI, I do not want to write this review. I’m feeling real cranky but I need to catch up on reviews, and it just so happens that I have to write a review for this book that was just a perfect little YA romance that I don’t have much to say about (this may change as I type), so I’m just basically starting this review by stream-of-conscious word vomiting to try to get the thoughts flowing because I read this back in fEbRuArY. Oh, […]
