a good myth is hard to kill by MajorGodComplex

Kaz is a smart man, but not smart enough to reconsider snarking the most powerful man in the world when dragged out of Ketterdam and across the fold to work for him. Kaz isn’t worried. He’s got plot armor. The Darkling showed his hand much too early with all of that ‘together we’ll change the world’ bullshit.  Still, when the shadows begin to close in on him he can’t help but consider the possibility he may have miscalculated. ……………. Thanks to his black kefta, that’s […]

I was so delighted with my holiday exchange package, I don’t know where to start! I am excited to read the books you sent, especially because they are completely new to me and they are your personal recommendations. The blank journal was a bonus (and you’re right, all avid readers have a collection!) I wasn’t sure of your screen name, so forgive the initials in the title. A huge thank you for such a generous gift.

Quirk and cute

Bunnygirl: The First Adventure by Holly Jayne

by Leave a Comment

Bunnygirl: The First Adventure by Holly Jayne was a sample I read off Edelweiss. When the book comes out in February 2023, I will be finding the rest, as it ended on a minor cliffhanger. The whole book is meant for fairly early readers, so nothing majorly drastic happens, but you know that the diary our girl Bea wants is coming and there will be something that makes her into Bunnygirl. The publisher description calls the artwork of Jayne “kawaii feeling” and I will just […]

I don’t know Weather I liked it hahahahahaha

Weather by Jenny Offil

by Leave a Comment

Full disclosure: I read this, apparently, in 2016, and wrote a little about it. Then I read it again a couple of months ago, after reading somewhere that Jenny Offil and I are the same age and went to the same university (not at the same time) — totally irrelevant, but it brought me back to the book. Came to actually post something, and saw some more evidence of my shitty memory. Soooo two of the following paragraphs are new. If this doesn’t count, that’s […]

I might change the title of this review when I either remember it or find my notes for this really cool line I wanted to use

Emmie & Friends Truly Tyler by Terri Libenson

by Leave a Comment

Truly Tyler in the Emmie & Friends series might be my favorite of the group. I have enjoyed the others by Terri Libenson, but after a bit it felt like I was reading the same one over.  This time we are focusing on a side character who is male. In the author afterwards, Libenson mentions how this was for them, among other fun facts. We follow two of the characters, Tyler and Emmie (switching between their points of view) and see how the same situation can be […]

“What redemption there is in being loved: we are always our best selves when loved by another.”

This Must Be The Place by Maggie O'Farrell

This was a lovely novel. the sort of story that feels very comforting, even as it is at turns heartbreaking. Daniel Sullivan meets Claudette Wells almost on accident, and this is the story of their marriage. He is an American linguist with Irish roots and a penchant for studying abroad. She is a British movie star of immense fame, who tired of her life in the limelight. Both have rather significant pasts before they meet each other at a crossroads in Ireland – but once […]
