Desire and the Deep Blue Sea by Olivia Dade

by 2 Comments

Olivia Dade’s Teach Me was one of my favorite books this year. I was thrilled to be offered an ARC for Desire and the Deep Blue Sea by the author in exchange for an honest review. Edit: Today is release day for Desire and the Deep Blue Sea. I decided to come back and look at the review before tweeting it out and posting it on Amazon. I remembered I struggled with this review. Around the time I initially wrote this, my brain was protesting that […]

If you like good romance, just get this book already

The Austen Playbook by Lucy Parker

by 1 Comment

Disclaimer! I got an ARC from NetGalley. This has in no way influenced my review.  I had already pre-ordered my copy of the book months ago, long before the ARCs became available. Also, because I am terribly late in reviewing it, the book is available on sale from the e-book vendor of your choice. It’s excellent, you should totally spend your monies on it! But what is the book about, Malin? You cannot expect people to fork out their hard-earned cash without knowing anything of the […]

Good Start to a New Series

The Long Call by Ann Cleeves

Disclaimer: I received a free ARC of THE LONG CALL by Ann Cleeves from Macmillan in an exchange for an honest review. The first book I read by Cleeves was the fifth book in her Shetland series, which is not the way to start that series.

Matthew Venn is not your normal brooding […]

Why Teachers Drink

Best in Class by Tim Clancy

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book via a Librarything giveaway. If you teach, it is that time of the year. The time when questions such as, “I know I didn’t do any of the work, but can I still pass the class” get asked. It is the time when you read essays that are done at the last minute so students write things like “I think that it is the title of the movie” or “two other sources that I didn’t right done”. […]

Truth in Our Times by David E. McCraw

by Leave a Comment

Disclaimer: The publisher sent me an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. I am also a subscriber to the Times. On the day I finished reading this ARC, the President of the United States called the New York Times an “enemy of the people,” and the Times itself carried an article about a reporter being detained and kicked out of Egypt. Additionally, the President tweeted support of a lawsuit against the Washington Post. And a supreme court judges wants the court to […]
