Liar, Dreamer, Thief by Maria Dong

February 2, 2023 by narfna Leave a Comment

This book spoke to me. Katrina Kim is the most lovable, vulnerable mess of a human. I would find it concerning how much I identified with her* if I wasn’t too busy enjoying every bonkers moment of this book. I was worried as I approached the end, given how I’d lost my mind over it so far, that the ending wouldn’t do Katrina justice, but I shouldn’t have been worried.

Getting Steamy in San Francisco: #CannonBookClub2022!

Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo

What can I say about Last Night at the Telegraph Club that Malinda Lo didn’t already say with total confidence and care when she wrote the book?

She could swear […]

This Book Has a Sweet Tooth, Don’t Read While Hungry

The Professor Next Door by Jackie Lau

May 27, 2021 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. The Professor Next Door publishes June 8, 2021. Jackie Lau’s next book in her Cider Bar Sisters series is The Professor Next Door and it tells the story of Nicole Louie-Edwards and David Cho, the titular professor next door. A decade after getting out of a rough relationship Nicole has herself settled into her career and life with friends and family, building a life around the version […]
