Jenkins July in Augist

To Catch a Raven by Beverly Jenkins

by Leave a Comment

I've been struggling with historical romance for a couple of years. For the most part it hasn't appealed to me except for a few authors. Beverly Jenkins is one of those authors. With Jenkins, I know I'm going to get strong women, great characters who are supportive of each other, and an honest … [Read more]

Spellbound: A Graphic Memoir by Bishakh Kumar Som

by Leave a Comment

At first, I found Spellbound: A Graphic Memoir by Bishakh Kumar Som a little confusing. You expect to get the story of Som, and while it starts off that way, you quickly go into a fictionalized version of who they are. With the character Anjali, we see who Som could be and in a way is, as their … [Read more]

The Wedding Party

The Wedding Party by Cathy Kelly

by Leave a Comment

So this hands-down was one of my least favorite Cathy Kelly books. This was all over the place and unlike her other books dealing with sisters, there was too much going on for you to even follow one person's storyline in a coherent way. I also didn't find the whole thing with Savannah realistic … [Read more]
