How can life be so sweet and so sad all at the same time?

Behinds the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson

July 25, 2022 by esmemoria Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo: Rec’d Behind the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson was recommended to me in a comment on my very first review in 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos. I had reviewed Atkinson’s Case Histories and thought it was okay. But andtheIToldYouSos encouraged me to read more of Atkinson’s work, … [Read more]

Run Posy Run

In which I surprisingly don’t hate a mafia romance

Run Posy Run by Cate C Wells

July 25, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 5 Comments

CBR14Bingo - Minds: Because the dude's a freaking psychopath (I KNOW) and one of the main ways he initially interacts with Posy is through playing games, mainly chess Look, I don’t read mafia romance. It’s just not my cup of tea. So the only reason I picked this up was because I needed something … [Read more]

“I was born on the full moon under an auspicious constellation, the holiest of positions—much good it did me.”

Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel

July 25, 2022 by narfna 1 Comment

I think it was probably a little unfair of me to go into this one with super high expectations as I almost did, thanks to the Circe comparisons, so luckily I curbed those as best I could before I actually started the book. That turned out to be a very good idea. I think going in with no expectations … [Read more]

Do I like YA fantasy again???

This Vicious Grace (The Last Finestra, #1) by Emily Thiede

July 25, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Thanks to Macmillan Audio, Macmillan Young Readers, and NetGalley for the ARC. It hasn't affected the content of my review. Well, this was an impulse request on NetGalley, and despite some complaints (mostly centered around this being a debut, I think), overall I did like this and I will be … [Read more]

“So you just live quietly with these powers? Haven’t you ever wondered why you have them? Suleiman’s eye . . . you could be overthrowing governments, and instead you steal from peasants!”

The City of Brass (The Daevabad Trilogy, #1) by S.A. Chakraborty

July 25, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Yet another book I don't want to review because I put off writing the review so long that I've forgotten details of the book and what I wanted to say about it, if I ever knew. Mostly I'm just mad I didn't read this sooner, although now I don't have to wait in between books if I don't want to. (I … [Read more]

“Be careful with the stories you tell about yourself”

Untamed by Glennon Doyle

July 25, 2022 by RaRaGabor Leave a Comment

Untamed is a memoir. It’s also a call to arms. And a self-help book. Mostly, though, it’s the story of a woman blowing up her life to build a better one, and her interrogation of why she had a life that required blowing up in order to find happiness. Glennon Doyle has written a couple of other … [Read more]
