The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold

Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold

January 31, 2022 by andtheIToldYouSos 7 Comments

It’s time for me to FINNALY go all-in on some good old fashioned FAN TA SY. Normally, these are the sort of books that I pick up in the bookstore, give a “hmm” at the cover, and keep walking. I’ve never been great at immersing myself in fantasy worlds outside of the big-names; I just don’t have a memory for the complex lore and histories of most fantasy epics. When I open up a book and it starts with breakdowns of family names and maps […]

Happy Gift Exchange to me! Thanks, faintingviolet!

I’m excited to jump into these two books in the next few weeks. They’ll be my first two reviews of CBR22 in the new year. Books are If We Were Villains by M. L. Rios and Burial Rites by Hannah Kent. These books have been blessed by my patron saints Liz Lemon, BeyoncĂ©, and Shea CouleĂ©.

CBR12 Book Exchange: Thank you Malin

December 19, 2020 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

Thanks Malin for sending me a new Ilona Andrew’s series to read! I read and reviewed The Edge series because of you. Excited to read another that comes highly recommended by cannonballers. And even better, you ordered from my second home, The Ripped Bodice.

Crossover by Kwame Alexander

This gem was given to me by Black Raven through last year’s CBR holiday book exchange. Most likely, I would have never come across this book on my own, so a big thanks to Black Raven. It took me almost a year to crack it open but it was probably one of the best books that I read all year. Not to continue to beat the same sad drum, but I have had a hard time reading this year. I know that I am not […]

CBR Bookmas: the most wonderful time of year.

November 28, 2020 by bonnie 4 Comments

Hello, my friends. I declared review amnesty in 2019 and subsequently had to do the same in 2020. My doctor diagnosed me with anxiety in February, a mere month before my state issued its stay-at-home order, and I’ve been teaching my college classes remotely since March. I have done a LOT of reading, but have had precious little energy to put words together beyond emails to students. Here’s hoping 2021 is better. On a cheerier note, I love the CBR Book Exchange and had to […]
