Lauren Groff does it again in a totally different way

Matrix by Lauren Groff

May 29, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

I did not know how much I needed a revisionist history of a 12th century nun crafted from the sparse known writings of a woman that some have identified as being Mary, abbess of Shaftesbury. Side note all British names are hilarious. In any case, from the barest outlines of a personal history … [Read more]

Motivation to clean out my TBR

The Maid by Nita Prose

May 29, 2022 by booktrovert Leave a Comment

I love stories with neuro-atypical protagonists, and I enjoy a good buddy caper. I enjoy mysteries of all kinds, I don't mind when things get dark and creepy (think, Silvia Moreno Garcia, or Tana French). But I also enjoy something more like Only Murders in the Building - a very real murder to … [Read more]

Two years after the war, things are not going well for either Viola or Gracewood. Viola used it as an opportunity to change her future, but while she’s happy as a lady’s … [Read more]

Not up to standards

The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches by Alan Bradley

May 28, 2022 by Bibliophile Leave a Comment

I love Flavia De Luce, Dogger, Mrs. M, all of them. What I don't love? This book. Sure, it was interesting (sort of). But the plot got crazy. I won't spoil it, but it is way too weird and I'm not talking about Flavia's chemical plans. The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches is the 6th, and in my opinion … [Read more]

Theres more and I love it!!

Speaking From Among the Bones by Alan Bradley

May 28, 2022 by Bibliophile 2 Comments

I LOVED THIS BOOK. It had everything. EVERYTHING. It was interesting, unique, witty, 100% Flavia, new, old, EVERYTHING. It had the old characters, new characters, a new plot, and the same old Flavia. Unique, witty, quirky, and fun, Flavia is back yet again. Will this series ever end? I hope not! … [Read more]

    on Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Abduct
    I read them in the late 1980s/early 90s too. They were my first romances.

    on Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Abduct
    I read my way through her books, and those of Kathleen Woodiwiss and Shirley Busbee, in the 1980s and 'bonkers'...

    on Love on the Spectrum, Austen Style
    Yes! It’s downright offensive! I do love Lady Catherine
  • Emmalita
    on Love on the Spectrum, Austen Style
    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.

    on The Kiss Quotient: Reverse, diverse Pretty Woman.
    This book helped me realize how very specific my pet peeves could be in relation to how people refer to...
