The Case of the Dubious Bridegroom by rle Stanley Gardner

June 2, 2026 by elderberrywine Leave a Comment

Back to the curious mid-century rules of divorce, especially in a community property state like California.  No-fault divorce did not yet exist, so if either party wanted to get out of the deal fast, they had to file in the state of Nevada, and even then there were certain rules regarding … [Read more]

Mountains! Around the world!

Mountainous by Julia Kuo

June 2, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

This unique work features a clever, sweet, and interesting story that blends meditation, self-esteem, and … [Read more]

Shrunkation by Janine Amesta

June 2, 2026 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

This is a great example of trusting an author you know you enjoy even when the concept doesn’t initially grab your attention. I’m on Janine Amesta’s advanced reader list having loved Love at First Flight and The Wedding Con (The Love Feud is currently sitting on my end table waiting for me). … [Read more]
