Rabbit Redux

Rabbit Redux by John Updike

April 11, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

This is the second novel of the Rabbit Angstrom series by John Updike. I was born the year the third book came out, and the last book, plus the novella followed up 10 and 20 years later. This expansion can give a false impression that the books were always designed as a series. It may well be that … [Read more]

I Claudius

I, Claudius by Robert Graves

April 11, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Poor poor pitiful me! Claudius is a kind of nephew to Caesar Augustus and born outside of Italy, but regardless, he's still among the court, and eventually, as we know, will become emperor after Caligula. Claudius is also afflicted with a stammer and a limp, which both allows him to hide behind … [Read more]

Vernon Subutex part 1

Vernon Subutex 1 by Virginie Despentes

April 11, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Oddly, I kind of felt like this book would be grimier than it is. It's still pretty grimy, but not as much as I thought. We begin this trilogy with our title character, Vernon Subutex, kind of coming to. He's older middle-aged and has always been around the music scene, specifically as running a … [Read more]

Love In Plaid

The Devil Wears Tartan by Katia Rose

April 10, 2022 by Sofi Keren 4 Comments

TikTok got me on this one. I found myself watching a video where the author promoted her new romance novel where two women from rival highland dance schools hate each other and then...really don't. I ordered it immediately. It was delightful. Moira is still reeling from a breakup that happened … [Read more]

out of order but it’s an ARC! my first!

For Butter or Worse by Erin La Rosa

April 9, 2022 by wicherwill 2 Comments

It's my first ARC, and I actually have this book on request for purchase at a few of my libraries. Without much knowledge of how ARCs work (are they final? Will there be more changes?) I'll give it my best shot... So CLEARLY there was some meeting of the romance novelists and they all decided … [Read more]
