“Being with you is as good as being alone.”

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman

April 20, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

This was fun! I wish the stakes had been a bit higher, though. In many ways, I think this felt as relatable for me as it was anti-climactic, and for the same reason. Nina Hill is not me (she has her shit way more together than I do, and she’s kind of a badass in the right setting, whereas I have never been and never will be described that way), but we have A LOT of things in common, for instance not being flexible in […]

Today is only February 1, and I already find myself way behind in reviews for 2020.

Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn

American Royals by Katharine McGee

How can I already be so far behind? I always have such good intentions with reviewing…and I am great about keeping up with the reading. I just never find the time to sit down and think and type. Thus, I gift to you these three quick reviews for books that were FINE. First, Love Lettering, a book I never would have heard of if I hadn’t been obsessively following all of the tweets about the RWA meltdown over the holidays. I somehow stumbled across some […]

Quirky Heroines in Unlikely Situations

The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves

On the Island (On the Island #1) by Tracey Garvis Graves

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman

December 23, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

(5 stars) The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves This book wrecked me. It is the only book I’ve read in probably the last several years where I had maybe 30 pages left and I skipped to the end to read the last page because I couldn’t bear it any longer. I then felt deep shame, of course, but no regrets. “Life isn’t easy for anyone. We all have challenges. We all face adversity. It’s how we overcome it that makes us […]

Thanks, teresaelectro!

December 10, 2019 by narfna 5 Comments

Came home yesterday after work to this happy surprise from teresaelectro. I was planning on reading both of these books in 2020, so now I have them ready to go! And I am *always* on the lookout for new bookmarks because there is a monster in my house that eats them. Thank you so much! This truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

I Really Need to Find a Trivia Team

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman

December 1, 2019 by Jen K Leave a Comment

This is the kind of book I wanted and expected when I picked up Matchmaking for Beginners. This was sweet and charming, and absolutely perfect for the moment. Nina never knew her dad and her mother is a world traveling photographer. Nina, on the other hand, is perfectly happy with a relatively contained life and uses books as her escape from reality. She rents a guest house which is perfectly arranged for her needs, has a cat, trivia team and book clubs, and works at […]

Would have liked there to be a stronger romance element

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman

September 23, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

4.5 stars From Goodreads, because it’s been over a month since I finished this: The only child of a single mother, Nina has her life just as she wants it: a job in a bookstore, a kick-butt trivia team, a world-class planner and a cat named Phil. If she sometimes suspects there might be more to life than reading, she just shrugs and picks up a new book. When the father Nina never knew existed suddenly dies, leaving behind innumerable sisters, brothers, nieces, and nephews, […]
