Protector of the Small: Anything boys can do, Keladry can do better.

First Test by Tamora Pierce

Lady Knight by Tamora Pierce

May 24, 2026 by beereadsbooks 1 Comment

I love every Tortall main character (that I've read. I still haven't read the final series with Beka), but Keladry of Mindelan is hands-down my favorite Tortall MC and one of my favorite MCs ever. I adore her and her story. She is tenacious, hard working, grounded, tough, kind, unbendingly dedicated … [Read more]

The Stranger Book Cover

“If something is going to happen to me, I want to be there.”

The Stranger by Albert Camus

May 23, 2026 by bjornsnipe 3 Comments

Or as I'd call it, "Bartleby the Scrivener, only with murder". Years ago, I read Albert Camus' The Plague (frighteningly enough, during Covid, which is a perfect time to read a book about the mass deaths and utter hopelessness an epidemic can cause) and had always been curious about reading this. … [Read more]

29 Minutes to Yummy

The 29-Minute Vegan by Isa Chandra Moskowitz

May 23, 2026 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

Isa Chandra Moskowitz is probably my favorite cookbook author; the recipes are good, not boring, not too fussy, and you don’t have to wade through pages of narrative to get to each recipe. The 29-Minute Vegan is so titled because “thirty was already taken, and everyone could use an extra minute in … [Read more]

Shrunkation by Janine Amesta

This was how Trey was going to die, a speck of a man flung from a cardboard box flap like a booger.

Shrunkation by Janine Amesta

May 23, 2026 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Oh no! Shrunkation awakened my inner nerd. Let me do a quick tldr before I dive into my appreciation for Janine Amesta’s craft. Shrunkation is fun and funny. One of my favorite things in romance is when an author takes a bananas plot and uses it to dive into very real relationship dynamics. This is … [Read more]
