The Dead Room by Catriona McPherson

The Dead Room by Catriona McPherson

May 8, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

  Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Not too much to say here except I almost DNFed this one like 4 times. Nothing happens for a good portion of this book until the 70 percent mark. And even then it had me going what is going on … [Read more]

They go into the woods and do what?

An Alpine Divorce by Robert Barr

May 7, 2026 by carmelpie 7 Comments

In the lives of these two young people there was no middle distance. The result was bound to be either love or hate, and in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Bodman it was hate of the most bitter and arrogant kind. ― Robert Barr, An Alpine Divorce The term "Alpine Divorce" came to my attention a few weeks … [Read more]

I guess my reading vibe this year is slanting towards cozy and comforting

The Last Father-Daughter Dance: A Short Story by Lisa Wingate

Legends & Lattes (Legends & Lattes 1) by Travis Baldree

May 7, 2026 by kfishgirl 1 Comment

I don’t know if you can call this first book exactly cozy, but it was definitely comforting.  Along with the storyline, there’s something comforting (to me at least) about a short story. There are character arcs, plot twists, and usually everything is tied up by the end. It calms the soul to not … [Read more]

A brilliant (but bloody) blend of history and fantasy

He Who Drowned the World: The Radiant Emperor Duology Book 2 by Shelley Parker-Chan

May 7, 2026 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

This finale to Shelley Parker-Chan’s The Radiant Emperor Duology was outstanding. As with the first book (She Who Became the Sun), Parker-Chan focuses on the political and military machinations of a handful of ambitious individuals, each desperate for power and/or revenge. Parker-Chan has created … [Read more]

Be Gay Do Crime

Be Gay Do Crime: Sixteen Stories of Queer Chaos by Molly Llewellyn (editor), Kristel Buckley (editor)

May 7, 2026 by fiordeligi Leave a Comment

Once again, I’m a sucker for a good title, and Be Gay Do Crime got me immediately. It’s a short story collection edited by Molly Llewellyn and Kristel Buckley, and I went in assuming that it’d be a series of riots. The name evokes the proud history of queer militancy to me — the anti-normative ethos … [Read more]
