  • Lorenzo March 29, 2023 at 10:27 am on McFadden Knocks it Out of the Park AgainMcFadden is a feminist. I deleted her book after reading two chapters of Do Not Disturb. Sick of this 'all men are bastards' propaganda.
  • ElCicco March 28, 2023 at 10:38 pm on Tom Joad needs a bathIs your mom reading Sanora Babb’s “Whose Names Are Unknown”? I just read about her recently. She’d worked for the Farm Security Admin during the depression, took notes on the people she’d met and wrote her novel but Steinbeck got...
  • Emmalita March 28, 2023 at 12:08 pm on Two Households, Both Alike in DignityI've just realized that I have never read All My Sons. I just copy pasted the plot of Death of a Salesman into my mental All My Sons file.
  • katie71483 March 27, 2023 at 10:35 pm on For such a warm title, this one left me coldSo frustrating!
  • Flimflamingo March 27, 2023 at 8:54 am on When You Don’t Know What To Do, Sometimes a Cup of Tea Is the Right Place To Start.I read the title and was sure you were writing about Becky Chambers' Robot and Monk novellas. LOL. I have a feeling I'm adding this to my TBR.
  • MsWas March 27, 2023 at 5:17 am on When You Don’t Know What To Do, Sometimes a Cup of Tea Is the Right Place To Start.LOVE this book title, will have to look for it. Are you doing a tea-themed CBR15?
  • Suzi March 26, 2023 at 6:42 pm on For such a warm title, this one left me coldI totally agree with your synopsis! I am a die hard fan and was looking SO forward to this book!! It was so disappointing; it went no where, just repeating things from past books over and over again. Not a...
  • narfna March 25, 2023 at 11:34 pm on The Velveteen Rabbit, Unanticipated Puppet Gore, and The Stages of GriefYeah, I read it back in January! And you did comment on it. I feel like it is a comfy book! Um, sort of. Minus the [spoiler title="SPOILERS"] chainsaw arm removal and occasional needle in the eye [/spoiler].
  • Flimflamingo March 25, 2023 at 11:23 pm on The Velveteen Rabbit, Unanticipated Puppet Gore, and The Stages of GriefDidn’t you just read it too? I think I commented on your review (I’m too lazy to check rn!). I ended up just wanting something comfy (LOL to puppet horror being comfy but we are who we are) after putting...
  • narfna March 25, 2023 at 10:51 pm on The Velveteen Rabbit, Unanticipated Puppet Gore, and The Stages of GriefI loved this book so much, and I loved this review! You've perfectly captured what I like about his writing.
  • Malin March 25, 2023 at 2:11 pm on Do you find yourself comfort reading?I probably have at least thirty books (or more) to read before I'm where you are now, but I totally agree with you on the charms of the series. I also really like your fan casting.
  • Carriejay March 24, 2023 at 1:21 pm on A great time was had.Good choices! I feel like I don't see Emma Thompson in enough stuff these days.
  • narfna March 24, 2023 at 1:02 pm on A great time was had.My friend and I actually fancast it while we were reading! We decided on Viola Davis for Billie, Michelle Yeoh as Helen, Emma Thompson as Mary Alice, and Jennifer Coolidge as Natalie. We also decided Cate Blanchett for their trainer...
  • Emmalita March 24, 2023 at 11:27 am on “The way to stay married is simple – don’t get divorced.”Faintingviolet and ASKReviews did. I clearly need more Ada Calhoun in my life.
  • booktrovert March 24, 2023 at 11:25 am on “The way to stay married is simple – don’t get divorced.”Thank you- I highly recommend this one! Did you review her book, Why We Can't Sleep? I remember seeing someone review that here on Cannonball and I am adding it to my library queue now.
  • Carriejay March 24, 2023 at 12:11 am on A great time was had.Agree, a movie would be great. Who are we casting? 🙂
  • Polly March 23, 2023 at 11:18 pm on Luz Jimenez, Daughter of the Nahua – Guest Post by Terry TThoroughly enjoyed the book. Great review! Thanks
  • Emmalita March 23, 2023 at 4:40 pm on “The way to stay married is simple – don’t get divorced.”This is such a good review and sounds like a lovely book.
  • Emmalita March 23, 2023 at 4:11 pm on For such a warm title, this one left me coldTbh, "an endless series of relationship therapy and sex scenes" sounds right up my alley, but I don't want to read 14 books to get to that point.
  • GentleRain March 22, 2023 at 10:08 pm on The series ended with the softest and boringest of whimpersHow frustrating! I do always wonder what's going on when someone's writing suddenly takes a huge nosedive -- AI writing is a good theory!
  • Emmalita March 22, 2023 at 9:08 pm on Bachelor In Spaaaace!100% And, I do the "...in spaaaace" joke as often as possible. [wpd-giphy id='yPLrPpSPHGMhy' subdomain='media3' width='480' height='320']
  • finnyfinfinn March 22, 2023 at 6:35 pm on Bachelor In Spaaaace!Every one of their series are total comfort reads for me.
  • WellThen March 22, 2023 at 5:26 pm on A missed opportunity in a creepy, engaging storyMy family and I just finished listening to the audiobook of this last night. I wasn't enthused about the surprise sexual violence -- I usually avoid media with that sort of content in it, out of personal preference. I almost...
  • Emmalita March 22, 2023 at 4:27 pm on Bachelor In Spaaaace!I love this series! I binged it in like 4 days this year.
  • Emmalita March 22, 2023 at 3:00 pm on Epic bravery and sensible fearsPromises Stronger than Darkness is out April 11th
  • finnyfinfinn March 22, 2023 at 2:59 pm on Epic bravery and sensible fearsI read the first one and really liked it, didn't realize the series was already on three! I'm going to have to put these on hold at the library and just gorge myself one weekend.
  • narfna March 22, 2023 at 12:57 pm on Epic bravery and sensible fearsBut I want to like them so badly! The books always sound so intriguing, and she's one of the nicest people I've ever met (she's come to the Tucson Festival of Books twice now and I've escorted her). Fun to...
  • Emmalita March 22, 2023 at 12:49 pm on Epic bravery and sensible fearsI highly recommend starting with the first book. Anders does a great job of reminding the reader what they read in the first two books, but if you haven’t read them, those reminders won’t help.
  • BlackRaven March 22, 2023 at 12:47 pm on Epic bravery and sensible fearsI've been curious about this book as I had an opportunity for it on Edelweiss. Though I didn't realize it was a series! Might have to give it a shot
  • Emmalita March 22, 2023 at 12:34 pm on Epic bravery and sensible fearsIt’s ok if her books don’t work for you unreservedly. She is a messy writer, by choice. That said, I hope you do like it.
