Gavin de Becker doesn’t necessarily want you to be afraid. But he does want you to use your fear in a constructive manner. He wants you give that friendly but off-putting stranger a polite but firm “No thank you” and to be persistent in that answer. He’d like you to remove yourself from situations that make you uncomfortable and make any apologies for rudeness later. But mostly he’d like you to listen to your fear instinct. De Becker is one of the nations leading […]
The Middle Sister is Made of Meh – CBR 8 – Review #1
“Fyre!! Where have you been?” “You know, not here.” Hi everybody!! It’s the 37th week of 2016 and I’m posting my first review. The Songbird’s Call by Rachael Herron Book 2 in the Songbird Trilogy Romance – Contemporary – Smut level: Pretty hot. Why this book? I have been following Rachael Herron since before she was a published author and was just a somewhat random knitting blogger. I had the opportunity to join her review team and got a free advanced copy of this book […]
You’ll Be Accepting My Apology For Sucking At Life and Not Posting
So yeah, I’ve been away for a long time. So long in fact that I can’t even remember what review I’m on…but I KNOW that I have to be really close to a Cannonball based on what I’ve read, just not on what I’ve reviewed (edit: I looked back I think my last one was 35…let’s see how much closer I can get to a cannonball). I’m breaking the rules and reviewing all the books that I’ve neglected over the past few months…right now. Who’s […]
There’s truth that lives, and truth that dies I don’t know which, so never mind
In the Woods is dark, complex and twisty but not in a gimmicky sort of way. It is the murder mystery I have been waiting for and I have already added the second and third books in Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad series to my TBR list. It’s a mystery novel that is more than simply a “whodunnit.” It’s a rumination on memory and friendship with a conclusion that is an emotional kick in the gut. In 1985, three children disappeared into the woods […]
Terrible and Magnificent as Promised
Kulti by Mariana Zapata
When I wrote “barring a dark horse in December, I am quite sure this is going to be the best romance I read all year,” about The Hating Game, I didn’t honestly expect there to be challenger. What a pleasure it is to be rounding out the year with Kulti which is a fantastic contemporary romance and one that is on theme for 2016 with a difficult hero, c.f. Dukes Prefer Blondes, Hold Me (review to come), and Act Like It. Correctly described to me as […]
How many romances have you read this year featuring glow in the dark sharks?
4.5 stars Maria Lopez runs a small niche blog where she imagines apocalyptic disaster scenarios and uses her comprehensive knowledge of science to figure out how to best try to avoid said scenarios. While it used to be just a hobby, and the blog wasn’t widely read, recently it’s getting a lot more visitors, and Maria has started getting actual job offers. She has kept her real identity closely guarded, so none of the people offering to hire her know that she’s a woman, working […]
