Fact: Dolly Parton is an International Treasure

Run Rose Run by Dolly Parton & James Patterson

December 29, 2022 by thegirlwhogotoverit Leave a Comment

Nobody is disputing that Dolly is a most awesome person, in every possible way.   My mother has a weakness for country music; I am positive I was born knowing the words to Jolene. And this book is for-sure compelling – the suspense-lit version of a catchy song. But… there were issues.  The character development for Ethan felt tacked on for depth late in the process.  It felt awkward; never flowed in the same way as the rest of the book. And the trafficking was a […]

Can’t leave justice up to God.

Tread of Angels by Rebecca Roanhorse

November 5, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

It took me a minute to wrap my head around Rebecca Roanhorse’s fantasy western novella, Tread of Angels. Some part of my brain is still immersed in her Between Earth and Sky series so I was a bit resistant to the Western town setting. But, as always, Roanhorse delivers a gripping story. Celeste Semyaza and her sister, Mariel, are half-Fallen (their mother was descended from the Fallen Angels) in the mining town of Goetia. Celest can pass as an Elect, and deals cards at Eden. […]

Lone Women

Lone Women by Victor LaValle

October 1, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. How does Victor LaValle do this! I am mad at myself for gulping this book down, but I could not slow myself. At one point I had to say go slower, go slower, you are getting to the end, and I was not able to slow down. I needed a great horror book and LaValle per usual delivers. The characters are so damn good. The writing is lyrical. […]

The Twelve Days of Christmas: Birds Galore

The Partridge by Kit Morgan

The Dove by Shanna Hatfield

The Hens by Merry Farmer

The Calling Birds by Jacqui Nelson

June 21, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Sometimes you’re just in the mood for plain and simple mail order bride romances. Lots of them. The Partridge (Kit Morgan) – 3 stars Reverend Chase Hammond, determined to save the town of Noelle, sends away for mail order brides to prove that the town can be a true civilized community. Of course, when the women actually arrive, things don’t run smoothly according to plan. This is the first book in the series, so a lot of the story involves legwork setting up the scenario […]

Roam on the Range

Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry

June 9, 2022 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call are living legends. As Texas Rangers they cleared the borderlands and made the area safe for white settlers. After that work was done they settled into life as co-owners of the Hat Creek Cattle Company and Livery Emporium, where there days consist of breaking in wild horses and raising cattle. It’s hard work but the men are well-suited to it, especially the preternaturally driven Call. While Augustus might enjoy whiskey and afternoon naps, his talents as a Ranger and a […]

“No one had ever held my hand before. Somehow people in Texoma always needed their hands free. I found it a little hot, a little sweaty, and since we were yoked we had to match our pace. But it made me feel good.”

A Longer Fall (Gunnie Rose #2) by Charlaine Harris

February 10, 2022 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

Charlaine Harris (she of the Tru Blood series) knows how to write a breezy entertaining romp, not quite a “can’t put down” page-turner, but a book you are happy to go back into in a world that has interesting magical elements. Her characters can be a bit wooden and two-dimensional, but synonyms for that could be familiar and comforting. Her writing is straightforward and easy to read, with violence and a bit of sexy sprinkled throughout, the type of book that I would qualify as […]
