faintingviolet December 1, 2023 at 8:58 am on “Steve gets back up because it’s the right thing to do. Carol gets back up because fuck you.”I think it will probably make a good listen, but as an FYI I know the authors don't do the narration.
ElCicco November 30, 2023 at 7:52 pm on Book Exchange! Thanks, Ashlie!I’ve been wanting to read this one for a while. Back when I was teaching, I remember a couple of my 7th graders talking about it.
ElCicco November 30, 2023 at 7:51 pm on Book Exchange! Thanks, Ashlie!The art is beautiful. I can’t wait to get started!
narfna November 30, 2023 at 4:34 pm on Book Exchange! Thanks, Ashlie!I love seeing what everyone gets/gives. And I love Guards! Guards!
Emmalita November 30, 2023 at 3:10 pm on Is There Anything Better Than Witty, Sometimes Snarky, Banter?I like this series so much! I hope you enjoy the next two books.
Emmalita November 30, 2023 at 2:58 pm on “Steve gets back up because it’s the right thing to do. Carol gets back up because fuck you.”Right? I think I might spend an audible credit on it.
Emmalita November 30, 2023 at 2:57 pm on Book Exchange! Thanks, Ashlie!Oh wow! That Neil Gaiman is gorgeous!
narfna November 30, 2023 at 12:07 pm on “Steve gets back up because it’s the right thing to do. Carol gets back up because fuck you.”I can't wait to read this one!
Emmalita November 29, 2023 at 2:53 pm on Book Mail from Jake!I am delighted! I’m looking forward to reading it.
Jake November 29, 2023 at 2:51 pm on Book Mail from Jake!You're welcome, emmalita! I wanted to put a note in there but I couldn't figure out how. Anyway, Macdonald is a favorite of mine and I'm an evangelist of his work so I couldn't resist passing it on when you...
Emmalita November 29, 2023 at 10:56 am on You and me together, Nan…You are an evil genius, and I am your getaway driver.I don’t think that’s weird at all!
Emmalita November 29, 2023 at 10:36 am on “Dr. Matthew Vine,” she said, then raised a mocking eyebrow. “The Third. How wonderful.”The only reason I got this arc is because I commented on Twitter that I had been rejected for an arc and Olivia Dade sent me a NetGalley Widget. NetGalley is so weird.
Malin November 29, 2023 at 7:40 am on You and me together, Nan…You are an evil genius, and I am your getaway driver.It's finally out and I've read it! Is it weird that one of the most emotionally affecting bits for me was the one involving the visit to the hairdresser? I saw someone complain that Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood...
Malin November 29, 2023 at 7:34 am on “Dr. Matthew Vine,” she said, then raised a mocking eyebrow. “The Third. How wonderful.”I had to look up what a Spite House actually was, since that seemed rather relevant to understand the set up for this novel. I have yet to read an Olivia Dade-novel I don't like (even if I disagree with...
carmelpie November 29, 2023 at 5:20 am on This isn’t an eighties sitcom. I can’t casually accept an orphan into my house for comic relief.Yay!!!! I hope she enjoys them! They make me SO happy. The fourth book (trilogy 2 part 1) is supposed to come out sometime in the next six months.
Emmalita November 28, 2023 at 8:27 pm on This isn’t an eighties sitcom. I can’t casually accept an orphan into my house for comic relief.I’ve just read the quotes to a friend and now she’s looking for the series.
narfna November 28, 2023 at 11:02 am on “It was just that whenever she had thought of seeing the world, she had never realized what it would be like to have the world see her back.”Oh, I hope you love it!
RevGirlUtena November 28, 2023 at 2:23 am on “It was just that whenever she had thought of seeing the world, she had never realized what it would be like to have the world see her back.”I got this a while back from a Barnes and Noble, BOGO 50% off table, and still haven't read it. I will definitely make sure to get to it in 2024!
RevGirlUtena November 28, 2023 at 2:20 am on We’ve been growing a monster repellent this whole time?I've heard the series described as "cozy smut", which immediately made me read all of them!
narfna November 27, 2023 at 9:24 pm on Book Mail from Jake!Ooh, I'm very intrigued to see what you think of the Ross MacDonald. I haven't tried him yet, either. I do have one of those Black Lizard crime books, though: A Judgment in Stone by Ruth Rendell (the first book...
narfna November 27, 2023 at 9:18 pm on Second Chances Sometimes Are Worth ItIt's one of the best novellas I've ever read. I hope you like it!
CoffeeShopReader November 27, 2023 at 8:12 pm on Second Chances Sometimes Are Worth ItI do read some fantasy, but I don’t usually have patience for the more serious epic high fantasy stuff which he seems best known for. I might check out a novella though. I’ll look into that one.
Emmalita November 27, 2023 at 7:40 pm on We’ve been growing a monster repellent this whole time?I’ve read most of the series, I think. I enjoy them for the light reads they are.
carmelpie November 27, 2023 at 12:58 pm on High expectations led to disappointmentGood to know. This has been in my TBR pile for about half a year. I enjoyed They Both Die at the End, but not enough to seek out other Adam Silvera books. I'm sure I'll read this one eventually...
narfna November 27, 2023 at 12:46 pm on Second Chances Sometimes Are Worth ItOkay, you do read fantasy! I just saw your review of Locklands lol. Sorry I'm being weird about this, but he's one of my favorite authors, and this book isn't the best representation of what he can do.
narfna November 27, 2023 at 12:40 pm on Second Chances Sometimes Are Worth It"Still not going to look up anything else by him" 🙃 This is kind of an outlier from him! Do you not read fantasy? He writes great epic fantasy. This is literally paining me, that this will be your only...
jomidi November 26, 2023 at 6:40 pm on “All the things that are wrong in the world seem conquered by a library’s simple unspoken promise: Here I am, please tell me your story; here is my story, please listen.”Yep, this was a great book!
Michael Cogdill November 25, 2023 at 9:49 am on I could’ve gone a lifetime of tomorrows without reading this book…I got a few pages in, and began to wonder why on earth I should read another one. I never got to that sex scene. But if I didn’t know better, I would say it was written by an artificially...
