CBR13 Bingo: Home (so many of the various characters come from very unstable family backgrounds and are only too happy to settle in Mystic Bayou, having finally find somewhere they can properly call home) This is going to be a bulk review for the first six stories (four novels, two novellas) in the Mystic Bayou paranormal romance series by Molly Harper. I listened to all the books in audio, as they are available as part of the Audible Plus catalogue. Considering that I already pay […]

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

by 2 Comments

CBR 13 Bingo: Rep – Rowell’s portrayal of Simon’s depression is a very frank picture of what depression can feel like and how it affects relationships. Contains Spoilers if you have not read Carry On and Wayward Son. This is Part Two of my rereading books one and two of Rainbow Rowell’s, Simon Snow trilogy, before starting number three, Any Way the Wind Blows.  Part One can be found here.  And if you’re interested in my original thoughts on those two books, they can be found  here.

River of Ink by Etiene Appert

cbr13bingo  People I am not sure if what I read was the entire book of River of Ink by Etiene Appert or not as I found an online edition for booksellers via a newsletter I occasional get. It did feel complete, had a what felt like a solid ending; therefore, I am assuming, yes, I read all of Appert’s book. However, regardless of what I did read, I know I read enough to know two things: One: WHAT THE FLYING MONKEYS did I just read? […]

cbr13bingo Self Care  Self Care to me is having fun. Halloween is fun (I mean CANDY????) and costumes (I have had more fun with costumes as an adult then I ever did as a kid, and I had some crazy fun costumes. Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother with her sign of qualifications anyone? Or years before, homemade paper mice in a cage (all connected) made by grandpa for the Cinderella costume?) Also, fun? Reading books. All types of books. Big ones, small ones, picture books, novels, poetry… […]

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

CBR 13 Bingo: Gateway – Carry On is the gateway to Simon Snow and Rowell’s World of Mages. After watching Rainbow Rowell for the book release of Any Way the Wind Blows, I wanted to re-read Carry On and Wayward Son to fall in love with Simon and Baz all over again.  However, they didn’t fit into my bingo plan, then Malin helpfully suggested that Carry On works for Gateway and Wayward Son for Rep.  I didn’t have a book picked for either square yet so […]

Latitudes of Longing by Shubhangi Swarup

Latitudes of Longing is a book that only made it to my list of books to read this year because of the Reading Women 2021 Challenge. The first task on the list is to read a book longlisted for the JCB Prize for Literature which is an award presented each year to a distinguished work of fiction by an Indian author. I went digging through the lists and Latitudes of Longing was both longlisted and shortlisted in 2018, the first year of the award. Latitudes […]
