Comforting message but … (it’s definitely me, not you, novellas)

A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers

May 28, 2026 by Jen K 1 Comment

These were rereads for me but I likely wouldn’t have chosen to revisit this world if they hadn’t been the selection for the Buffering podcast’s book club for April. I like Becky Chambers but prefer her Wayfarers series, and I enjoyed these novellas the first time round, though i preferred the first … [Read more]

Second chance romance, Harlem Renaissance History and Mental Health

Score by Kennedy Ryan

May 28, 2026 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Kennedy Ryan mentioned in her acknowledgments that she considers this series to be “an entire series that focused on the Harlem Renaissance, or that set women fighting for their significance and their own wellness at the center,” and Score follows in Reel’s footsteps, switching from physical health … [Read more]

I don’t think I’d want to be trapped in a giant empanada

3.5 stars This was an ARC I received from the author, Janine Amesta. My opinions are my own. Catalina and Trey's marriage is in trouble.

I have a new hobby

The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan

May 28, 2026 by Sophia 2 Comments

I'm not sure if it was because I was getting older or my interests just shifted, but back in 2019 I suddenly became fascinated with birding. It felt like a whole new world opened up simply because I started paying attention. Now that I have a dog, I spend more time walking her than going out with my … [Read more]

All this gore and good for her friendship just warmed my lil heart. (The cats helped.)

Dead Weight by Hildur Knútsdóttir, translated by Mary Robinette Kowal

May 28, 2026 by narfna 2 Comments

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn't affected the contents of my review. I was sitting here thinking about how I should rate this, and I just really, really enjoyed myself, so I'm rounding this 4.5 star book up to five. Perhaps it is because there are two cats in here … [Read more]

You First by Caroline Kepnes

You First by Caroline Kepnes

May 28, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. There was zero need for this book. I have zero idea why it was written unless Caroline Kepnes wanted to really write about Sex and the City. All this book does is make you hate Joe some more. There's no … [Read more]
