More romance in the Pacific Northwest

Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn Solomon

May 27, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Man I like Rachel Lynn Solomon but I found this book lacked a bit of oomph for me. She has a niche, this is very true (are both leads Jewish residents of the Pacific Northwest? You are likely in a Solomon novel) and her writing is definitely engaging you. If I look at my rankings of Solomon … [Read more]

Lesbians in Seattle, an entire genre I think

Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur

May 27, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

There are a couple of tropes that I just...cannot with, and this one unfortunately falls squarely within one of them: the very very short "relationship" / "hooking up" from ages ago that neither character has ever forgotten. It seems lazy, in my mind, because most of the time it feels like the … [Read more]

Third time we’re in the middle of a trilogy of plot

Tiamat's Wrath by Jam

May 27, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

I cannot say it is a very small thing to have picked up on, since it was very well choreographed and (to me) super obvious, but-- Did everyone catch when, for the first time, Naomi pushed her hair back??? It's about halfway through the book, when she realizes fully/for the last time that there is … [Read more]

Into the unknownnnnnnnn

Persepolis Rising by James S.A. Corey

May 27, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

From reading reviews it seems like people went into this a bit more shocked of the Rising part of this novel--which is to say, the main plot point ([the rise of the Laconian Empire]) came as a bit of a shock. So I will continue by pointing out that this was NOT a spoiler for me, having watched the … [Read more]

This elephant didn’t fly but did help save a village

Bandoola: The Great Elephant Rescue by William Grill

May 27, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Bandoola: The Great Elephant Rescue has a mixture of styles. I mean, while this is a non-fiction story about James Howard Williams and an elephant name Bandoola, it is also written as a fiction story. There are facts about elephants, what they eat, etc., as well as what is used and done of the teak … [Read more]

Leo and the Gorgon's Curse: Brownstone's Mythical Collection by Joe Todd-Stanton

May 27, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Joe Todd-Stanton has a four (so far) book series about the Brownstone family. They are adventurous children who have amazing times being heroes. The narrator is Professor Brownstone, a Brownstone descendent, and his vaults of books and artifacts. Well they don’t tell the story, but they help us find … [Read more]

    I read them in the late 1980s/early 90s too. They were my first romances.

    I read my way through her books, and those of Kathleen Woodiwiss and Shirley Busbee, in the 1980s and 'bonkers'...

    Yes! It’s downright offensive! I do love Lady Catherine

    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.

    This book helped me realize how very specific my pet peeves could be in relation to how people refer to...
