Posh Historical English Boys In Love

Maurice by E. M. Forster

January 14, 2021 by Singsonggirl 3 Comments

First review! I hope I’ve figured it all out and this doesn’t look completely terrible. Also, I’m not fully sure yet how I’ll use the rating system, so there might be adjustments in the future. To the book: A friend has recommended this to me, I’ve seen bits of the movie on TV, but I mostly only remember how ridiculously beautiful young Hugh Grant was. I’m definitely planning on seeing the whole film now, because the book is something else. While reading it, I quickly […]

The Lady Hardcastle series is a cozy balm for troubled times

The Burning Issue of the Day by T.E. Kinsey

Death Beside the Seaside by T.E. Kinsey

August 19, 2020 by pixifer Leave a Comment

It’s ridiculous how far behind I am on book reviews. I’d like to say I have an amazing reason, like I’ve been busy discovering a cure for cancer. But honestly, the pandemic has had me down and made me too stir crazy to sit still long enough to write these. And now I need to write 10 book reviews. Le sigh. I found the Lady Hardcastle series a couple of years ago. It’s an adorable cozy mystery series set in England the early 1900s. Lady […]

#CBR10Bingo: This Old Thing – Kilmeny of the Orchard, or most likely my worst book of the year

Kilmeny of the Orchard by L.M. Montgomery

September 18, 2018 by Malin 5 Comments

#CBR10Bingo: This Old Thing (published in 1910) Spoiler warning! There will be a number of spoilers for the plot of this book, because the only way I will be able to fully vent my spleen on this atrocious piece of writing is by going into minute detail about the MANY things I found dumb, objectionable or downright offensive in this book. You might as well allow yourself to be spoiled, this book is bad and you don’t actually want to waste time reading it. Eric Marshall has […]

When you are imagining, you may as well imagine something worth while

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

February 27, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are a middle-aged brother and sister who live together and manage the farm of Green Gables on Prince Edward Island in Canada. They intend to take in a small orphan boy to be of help to them on the farm, but due to a mix-up, little eleven-year-old Anne Shirley is sent to them instead. Matthew, who is extremely shy, especially around women, nonetheless warms to the loquacious and imaginative child and after hearing a bit about the hardships the orphan girl […]
