Damon Salvatore and gladiators

We Who Will Die by Stacia Stark

May 18, 2026 by Jen K Leave a Comment

I have started a few books in the last month or two that I fully intend to finish but they aren’t quite holding my attention and I keep starting new books rather than going back to them. So I feel like I have been struggling to get through novels but then I look back over my recent reads and … [Read more]

The Hubris and Entitlement of Alchemists

Inkpot Gods by Seanan McGuire

May 17, 2026 by Jen K 2 Comments

I have read most of what Seanan McGuire has written, including under her pen name Mira Grant, so of course I jumped at Netgalley’s offer of an ARC of Inkpot Gods, the fourth of her Alchemical Journeys novels (she also did a spin off of this series, writing some of the often referenced children’s … [Read more]

This novella is the sequel to A Taste of Gold and Iron, and takes place immediately following the events of the first book.

Princess Lessons for a Princess Party and thensome

Cursed Princess Club v.5 by Lamb Cat

May 17, 2026 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

So there’s finally some progress on the question of Gwen’s parents and possible cursed-ness or maybe lack thereof. Jamie is still rather pointless, except to make a minor connection of interest with the Queen of the Plaid Kingdom. The Plaid Princes are sort of backseat, except for Frederick; … [Read more]

Past and Future and Side stories

The Butcher's Masquerade by Matt Dinniman

May 17, 2026 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

It took me a little while to get into Dungeon Crawl Carl 5, The Butcher’s Masquerade, but once it gets going, it’s the usual action/snark/Carl-Donut-crew etc. I think part of the challenge for me, besides just general life getting in the way for a while, was that the title event really doesn’t … [Read more]

“…the glorious Republic cannot rise unless the monarchy falls and the monarchy cannot fall unless two women bring it down.”

A Rome of One's Own: The Forgotten Women of the Roman Empire by Emma Southon

May 17, 2026 by faintingviolet 9 Comments

When I read Emma Southon’s A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum I was pleased by the way Southon’s immense understanding of the available primary and secondary sources historians have available to work from regarding Roman history impact the ways in which we can know anything at all about … [Read more]
