That Volcano Roll, Though

The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon

by 1 Comment

Bingo Square: Friendship (three women become friends after they discover they were all dating the same man) I was debating between using this one for Money! or Friendship but realized I had a few other decent choices for Money! among both books to be reviewed and books to be read so Friendship it is! Samiah Brooks is successful in her career, she owns her own home, and she has a killer wardrobe. The one thing missing on her check list – the guy! The most […]

I’ll Definitely Be Reading More By This Author

Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Bingo Square: Green (or Jade as a variation thereof) The e-book version of this was on sale back in January, and given my love of mythology, it seemed like the perfect time to try a new author and learn more about mythical figures outside the Greek and Roman pantheon. Still, the book sat quite a while before I finally picked it up. I quite enjoyed this novel – the writing style at first felt very matter of fact, in line with our no nonsense heroine, […]

Secret Societies and Power

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

Bingo Square: Fresh Start (Alex Stern, Book 1) I haven’t read too much by Leigh Bardugo – I wasn’t a big fan of the first novel in her Shadow and Bone trilogy – despite the interesting world building, I found the heroine boring and the forced love triangle that was almost mandatory in YA for a while included love interests with such extreme differences that it was a bit too obvious. I had heard from many people that her duology Six of Crows set in […]

Badger to the Bone by Shelly Laurenston

Bingo Square: Cannonballer Says (emmalita’s review here) I picked up the first novel in the trilogy based on emmalita’s recommendation and ended up reading the entire trilogy  back to back.  I figured out I’d start with some general observations and commentary about the trilogy as a whole and then go into book specific. I have never read anything by Laurenston before but I quite enjoyed this trilogy – it focuses on the Mackilligan sisters, Charlie, Max and Stevie – they all share the same honey […]

Far From the Caribbean

Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier

by Leave a Comment

For a book that bills itself on the cover as “The Classic Tale of Romantic Suspense” this isn’t very romantic or suspenseful. This is the third book of Du Maurier’s I’ve read, and the second one to be a massive disappointment for such a big fan of Rebecca. Jamaica Inn follows Mary Yellan as she moves to the north of England after the death of her mother to live with an aunt she hasn’t seen in years. The vibrant, loving woman Mary remembers from her […]
