Christmas Shopaholic

Christmas Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

August 23, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

August 23, 2022 review: I swear, I do love Christmas romance books. No idea why. Probably all of those Hallmark movies or something. But this re-read was pretty dry and I just got through it quickly. I have been reading this series since I was in my 20s and Becky is still acting like a whole ass … [Read more]

Twenties Girl

Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella

August 23, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

August 23, 2022 review: I only did this re-read since it fit a bingo book category. I really didn't like it the first time I read it, and I liked it even less on my second read through as well. I think it just was all over the place and the "romance" was not even central to the story. I just found … [Read more]

The Day is Dark

The Day is Dark by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir

August 23, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

I thought "The Day is Dark" was very well done. I honestly didn't know who did what to whom and I loved the different things that were going on and finding out what happened to each character. And I did love that science in the end is explaining what is happening to some of the people in the … [Read more]

Ashes to Dust

Ashes to Dust by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir

August 23, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

I read Yrsa Sigurdardottir's "I Remember You" which freaked me out. I went and started to read her mystery series since I heard good things about it. I have read books #1-2 and finished up books #3 and #4 this past weekend. I have to say that the entire mystery (a head/skeleton, and remains of 3 men … [Read more]

This review is coming to you from a real life dystopia

Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake by Mazey Eddings

August 23, 2022 by Emmalita 4 Comments

I am writing to you from the inside of an actual, non-fiction dystopia. The spoilers start now. I never liked the evil ex trope, and I particularly disliked the evil ex had an abortion variation. I used to come across it frequently in the late 1980s - 1990s. I haven't seen much of it recently and … [Read more]
