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 … [Read more]

This book rubbed me the wrong way

Anthem by Noah Hawley

December 29, 2022 by thegirlwhogotoverit Leave a Comment

I'm going to try and explain why I was so irritated with this, but I freely admit that it might just have been me.  I've had some issues and frustrations this year with mansplainers... which may have contributed to just how much Hawley's holier-than-thou, pompous tone resonated and irked me. I … [Read more]

NPR is off to a great start

Disorientation by Elaine Hsieh Chou

December 29, 2022 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I love finding new books to read, so I am always excited to look at the year-end reading lists that come out this time of year. I saw NPR's list first, and that's where I first saw Disorientation (2022) by Elaine Hsieh Chou (in my favorite section: "eye-opening reads"). The blurb reminded me of a … [Read more]

I owe whoever recommended this a coke

Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren Blackwood

December 29, 2022 by thegirlwhogotoverit Leave a Comment

I think this was on one of the best of lists from Pajiba or Vulture.  Looks like I didn't record the recommendation, which is a shame, because this was an exceptionally good call. Set in a richly detailed world, where debteras cleanse houses and people of manifestations, our protagonist is … [Read more]

I’d like a friend who takes me to Lake Como on a private jet.

Love Lessons by Sarina Bowen

December 29, 2022 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I saw that Sarina Bowen had a new Brooklyn Bruisers hockey romance out. I've read them all so far, and I knew this one would be no exception. Love Lessons (2022) is Book 7 of this hockey series, and Bowen is quickly pairing up anyone and everyone involved with the team--although it's most often the … [Read more]

“Some stories don’t have happy endings. Even love stories. Maybe especially love stories.”

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

December 29, 2022 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I've had The Nightingale (2015) by Kristin Hannah hanging over my head for quite some time, but I never got around to it. Then my brother bought me The Great Alone--also by Kristin Hannah--one Christmas, which I eventually read, and loved. This only increased my anticipation for The Nightingale, so … [Read more]
