Christmas in March? not the most ridiculous thing re: this book

How the Dukes Stole Christmas by Tessa Dare, Sarah MacLean, Sophie Jordan, Joanna Shupe

Wow like, I will suspend disbelief for books but like these stories were R I D I C U L O U S. I was also really jonesing for some historical romance (especially after reading bits of, and then re-reading all of Lord Perfect) but I think I have utterly gotten over that desire after sort of forcing … [Read more]

another author definitively on the must read shelf

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid

by Leave a Comment

This isn't my favorite book by Reid (that's probably still Daisy Jones & The Six, followed closely by The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo) but it's not my least favorite (One True Loves). That being said, every book of hers is the same: imminently readable, not too frothy/not too froufrou, … [Read more]

The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by K.J. Charles

Hazel was a … [Read more]

Writing Against Resistance

The War of Art by Steven Pressfield

by 1 Comment

I probably wouldn't have found this book on my own, but after seeing a strong recommendation from TikTok comedian Lucy Blehar, I added it to my library request list. I'm a writer, but most days, one that actually struggles to sit down and get my fingers typing. I don't know why that's such a … [Read more]

Was an old favorite, but now it seems boring

Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine

by 1 Comment

“It is helpful to know the proper way to behave, so one can decide whether or not to be proper.” Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine used to be one of my favorite books of all time. Now, reading the description, I'm not sure if it sounds all that. But, maybe I'll re-read it and be surprised. At … [Read more]
