Verona Comics

Verona Comics by Jennifer Dugan

March 6, 2021 by Caitycat Leave a Comment

Verona Comics is yet another modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet. The two star-crossed kiddos in this story meet at a comic convention prom. Jubilee is dressed as a peacock character from her step-mother’s indie comic when she encounters a young man in a button down shirt wearing a Batman mask. Jubilee was tasked with leaving her comfort zone to add some life experience to her cello playing, so she spends the evening talking with Office Batman. Afterwards, even though it was supposed to be […]

Holy Moly

Circe by Madeline Miller

March 3, 2021 by Dense 8 Comments

When (I read it): Late night treat-time only, when the pull of the book matched the pull of (spoiler warning) my bed. Where (I read it): In bed, where my cocoon allowed me to sink in without expectation or judgment. Why (I read it): A long-ignored predilection for mythology combined with a general crowd gaga-factor. How (I read it): With great anticipation, bought many months ago to read when I could appreciate it. Finally got there. In preface, I’m three books read by the first […]

Not my kind of cozy

Address to Die For (Maggie McDonald Mystery #1) by Mary Feliz

January 19, 2021 by Essie Dubs 4 Comments

The first book in the Maggie McDonald Mystery series by Mary Feliz, Address to Die For, landed in my Kindle via a search for “cozy mystery” on the DC Public Library catalog. I was hoping to find a new series for my pandemic read-fest, and the Maggie McDonald books were well reviewed on both Goodreads and Amazon. The description sounded promisingly cozy, too: Maggie McDonald and her family move into a century-old house they recently inherited, where there’s an old barn out back, plenty of […]

“Sometimes the universe deals us fates that make us happy, but sometimes it simply deals us fates that make us…”

Bookish and the Beast by Ashley Poston

January 6, 2021 by Caitycat 1 Comment

For my first review of 2021, I’m revisiting the world of Ashley Poston’s Once Upon a Con series. We started with Geekerella, the story of a fangirl who ends up getting a direct line to the star of the movie version of her favorite TV show…but she doesn’t know it’s him. Then we ventured to The Princess and the Fangirl, wherein a normal girl switches places with a famous actress to uncover a saboteur. Now, we visit a young lady who wins over a beastly […]
