Moby by Jessa Kane
Not gonna lie, the whole reason I read this book is so I can share an embarrassing joke about myself. You may or may not be aware, but the only reason I’m not in debtors prison for spending all my money on books is because I belong to Kindle Unlimited. (Yes, I know you can’t go to jail for debt anymore – at least in America – but I wanted to make the nod to my fellow lovers of Regency romance.) That’s not the joke, […]
The Deep Dark by Molly Knox Ostertag
The Deep Dark by Molly Knox Ostertag A lot is going on in this book. It is not easy, not even smooth. Things go up and down and around. There is commentary on life, love, family, friends and self. But to talk about it means telling you the whole book, which you need to experience yourself. Ages at least 14 and up, very mature themes and several potential trigger situations. The flow of the book is quick, but sometimes that makes a mess. I had […]
After Hours at Dooryard Books by Cat Sebastian
Nothing like starting off the new year with a five star read. I will admit I was hoping for this outcome when I picked it for my first book of the year. Cat Sebastian is increasingly becoming known for atmospheric, historically rich, community-focused, and quietly revolutionary little books. I wanted a lovely time full of lovely people that would take me away to a time in history that reflects pieces of our own Current Times while still being an escape hatch from reality. You don’t […]
The Long Game by Rachel Reid
Look did I really mean to have this book be the first thing that I read in 2026 ? no. Was it sort of what I expected, which is to say average and a little bit clunky? yes. Did I however, end up reading this in one unbroken stretch from about 2:30 to 4:30 a.m.? yes, so check and mate Rachel Reid. I went back and forth for a little bit as to whether I wanted to read this book. I watched the show before […]
Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams
The Body by Bill Bryson
Slow Horses by Mick Herron
Dead Lions by Mick Herron
Book 26: Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry Rough Review: 4 stars. Let’s see, where does this go on my Emily Henry ranking list? I think 3rd, after Book Lovers (one of my favourite reads this year and maybe in many years; it’s been a remarkable first third of the year for reading and The Wedding People, The Nix, and Unruly are all also some of my absolute favourites, and that’s not even mentioning the eight or so really awesome and ten or so quite enjoyable […]
Fleishman is in Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner
The Nix by Nathan Hill
Happy Place by Emily Henry
All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us About Women’s Bodies and Why It Matters Today – A Memorial Sloan Kettering MD's History of Healthcare and Agency by Elizabeth Comen
Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection by John Green
Book 21: Fleishman is in Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner Rough Review: 3 stars. I don’t know how to review this, or what notes to write to let my future self know how I felt or what I was thinking after reading it. TBA is a talented writer and quite brutally…funny isn’t the right word, maybe amusing? But I think for me, a lot of this reads as characters and situations in service of commentary, commentary that is miserable and true and not completely true and certainly […]
