Another Cinderella Story

Sootypaws: A Cinderella Story by Maggie Rudy

by Leave a Comment

I have organized the picture book reader copies several times recently (for various reasons). And I kept going around this book. I did not want to even touch it. Not that I have an issue with mice or even rats, but dead mice/rats are another thing and these cover critters looked dead. Never mind the fact that it seemed like it could be a fun alternative Cinderella story. I like alternative fairy tales and Cinderella stories in particular. I used to have a collection of […]

A deliciously sweet marshmallow of a book with an unnecessary ending

Teach Me by Olivia Dade

by 4 Comments

This book is well loved by Cannonballers. Faintingviolet talked about the kindness with which the characters treat one another. Emmalita pointed out that this was a “robust kindness with boundaries.” And they’re completely right. This book absolutely bursts with the kind of kindness that isn’t rooted in “being nice” but rather in respect. And before I get into this, I just want to say that I really really enjoyed this book and you should read their reviews for how sweet it is. But rather than […]

Revisiting the End of the World

Beyond Surrender by Kit Rocha

Every time I read about what the current administration and it’s supporters are doing I see spots and start to feel the top of my head lift […]

“I don’t want to talk about dukes. Bollocks on every last one of them.”

A Delicate Deception (Regency Imposters, #3) by Cat Sebastian

by Leave a Comment

This was a bit rough, but charming in its roughness. It’s my favorite of Sebastian’s Regency Imposters books. At the beginning of the book especially when the lovers are in the “enemies” phase of “enemies to lovers,” the banter and the narration both are very biting and witty, but in a gentle, non-threatening way for my emotions. Amelia is our heroine, and I will admit it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize she was in both prior books in the series. She has […]

Another delightful Lau novella

A Big Surprise for Valentine's Day by Jackie Lau

by 1 Comment

Official book description: Amber Wong has landed her dream job at the Stratford Festival, and life is looking good. Sure, she hasn’t had sex in so long that her condoms have expired, but she’ll just pick up some new ones, along with some discounted Christmas chocolate, at the grocery store. And that’s where she runs into Dr. Sebastian Lam, the son of her parents’ close friends, whom she hasn’t seen in years. He’s moved back to Ontario, newly single, and… Oh my God. He’s really […]
