The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

by 6 Comments

If someone had told me ten years ago that this book featured an emotionally turbulent teenaged boy hand-raising a baby female raven whom he has inexplicably named after a deadly tree-felling instrument, I would have read it a hell of a lot sooner. As it is, though, I'm glad I haven't been spoiled … [Read more]

“He really does have very nice biscuits.”

Finlay Donovan Knockes 'Em Dead (Finlay Donovan, #2) by Elle Cosimano

by 2 Comments

I love this series. I'm so happy there will be at least two more books full of wacky hijinks, dead body disposal, panicking over money, BFF frandship moments between Finlay and Vero, meta commentary, and I'm sure stuff I can't even predict because this series is chaos. Beautiful chaos. Finlay … [Read more]

Dissolution

Dissolution by CJ Samson

by Leave a Comment

I guess the early to mid 2000s was a big Thomas Cromwell moment in fiction. An honest question: how well known is T. Cromwell apart from the recent novels and tv shows? Like, do British schoolchildren learn about him? Is he an easy reference point, or is he more of a historical plucked from relative … [Read more]

There are more words in the publisher description than the whole book

Baboon! by Pau

Comment two: I cannot say it better so word for word the publisher’s description: "After the death of its adopted … [Read more]

I Was Born a Baby, too!

I Was Born a Baby by Meg Fleming

by 2 Comments

I did not realize I Was Born a Baby was by Meg Fleming when I picked it up. Why I say this is that Fleming is the author of Wondering Around another book I recently read and reviewed. I did not know because the illustrations by Brandon James Scott are different from Wondering Around, as well as the … [Read more]

“Would he see me, or himself, or both of us, or neither of us?”

Book Boyfriend by Kris Ripper

by 4 Comments

First off, this cover is so eye-catching and gorgeous! I’ve read several of this author’s books before and was very interested in zir take on a friends-to-lovers romance. While this book wasn’t quite what I was expecting, it was a very fulfilling (and hilarious) romance. Preston’s been pining over … [Read more]
