How to Fake It in Society by K.J. Charles

September 4, 2026 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

KJ Charles is definitely an auto buy (well, an auto hold) author for me (actually, I just bought actual physical copies of the Will Darling books so maybe this will become auto buy as well). Something about the way she writes consent and romances with legitimate, interesting plot works for me (not … [Read more]

a huge step up personally from his last non-fiction outing

London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth by Patrick Radden Keefe

September 4, 2026 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

This is a book that I've been vaguely aware of for a while--IRL Book Group are big fans of PRK, as he is known around these parts, in particular Empire of Pain. A few of my friends went to a talk he gave as well, which might have been focused on this work. Non-fiction isn't my jam, and neither are … [Read more]

The Housemate by J.J.A. Harwood

The Housemate by J.J.A. Harwood

September 4, 2026 by Classic 2 Comments

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not impact my rating or review. I honestly loved this entire book. Becks and Jamie were great. The ending was great and it had me wondering what would other people do in the situation that they got themselves into there. A very good … [Read more]

I can’t get over Platypusary is a real word

Penelope's Escape from the Platypusary by Arianna Irwin

September 4, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I had seen Penelope's Escape from the Platypusary by Arianna Irwin in various places (emails, catalogs, an online reader copy). One day there was a “sign up for getting copies of these reader copies” so I did. And I was lucky enough to receive several of them, with this one being an email with an … [Read more]

Mazywood by Tananarive Due

September 4, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not impact my rating or review. I have to say that there were definitely parts of this book that I loved, but on the whole, when Due moved to the present timeline following Johnny Washington and his family I kept losing interest. I … [Read more]

Revisit the Hundred Acre Wood

Winnie-the-Pooh: The Graphic Novel by A.A. Milne, Kevan Chandler and Joe Sutphin

September 4, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Winnie-the-Pooh: The Graphic Novel by A.A. Milne, Kevan Chandler (Adapter), Joe Sutphin (Adapter/Illustrator) It took a bit to read this because I was using an online reader, and a few pages were "split," so I couldn't get the "full picture" with images. I also “put down” the reader to start … [Read more]
