This was a fun way to spend several hours, but I actually think I would have liked it better if I had never read Pride and Prejudice. If you’re not aware, Heartstone is debut author Elle Katharine White’s retelling of the Jane Austen classic (a top ten book for me), but with dragons (and such). I want to be clear that I find nothing wrong with this book at all. It’s a cleverly told story that takes the frame of its source material and transforms […]
“For all the girls who walk and read at the same time.”
Another week, another Tessa Dare book review. As I mentioned last review of The Duchess Deal, I love Tessa Dare books so it shouldn’t be all that surprising that I went ahead and picked up where I left off with A Week to be Wicked once I retrieved it. My quick review of this one is another five star Dare outing, these two back to back really highlight the parts of Dare’s craft that make these the fun, enjoyable, and downright witty reads I’ve come […]
Book Exchange is My Favorite Holiday Thing
Yay Book Exchange and LaurenH! I think that’s the awesome one’s name; I may have forgotten the note at home while I’m visiting family 900 miles away. I’ll check on that next week to be sure 🤗
Book Exchange Thanks – Officially!
One of the purest joys of the holiday season is doing my best to match the right gifter to the correct giftee. When we manage to to send just the right gift, and the bliss getting a book just for you, is one of my favorite traditions. I have been in a cooking rut, and I knew resident Cannonball Foodie ardaigle would probably have an idea of a cookbook that should be sitting on my kitchen counter. I wasn’t wrong, and it comes with an awesome […]
Ready for Jolabokaflod!
Earlier this year, when someone posted an article on Facebook about the Icelandic tradition of Jolabokaflod (Yule book flood), my mom, sister, and I were like, “We’re so doing this.” What’s not to like about hunkering down on Christmas Eve, drinking cocoa, giving each other books, and then spending the evening reading. Thanks to Caitlin, I now have both the books and a mug to start this tradition. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thanks so much Teresa Electro, and sorry I’m lazy Amanda from CA!
So this is my first book exchange. The lovely Teresa Electro got me in the exchange. She sent me a box with three wrapped (!) books inside, plus a bookmark. She even sent a handwritten card! She either read through my Goodreads “to read” pile, or looked through my CBR reviews, because she sent me books I ABSOLUTELY want to read. I’m so excited about reading these books! I was so excited when I opened the box that I started taking pictures of the books […]
