Yes, Jackie Lau is my Comfort Read

Pregnant by the Playboy by Jackie Lau

May 19, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Jackie Lau has become my comfort author since I started reading her a year ago. I’m on her list for advance reader copies. When I get an email that a new arc is available, I do a happy dance. I am giving an honest review. If Lau ever writes a book I hate or find problematic, I’ll let you know. I honestly really enjoyed it, but I can’t say I’m objective. There’s a story about my bff trying to tell me she was pregnant after […]

Cherish Hard by Nalini Singh

Rebel Hard by Nalini Singh

A few weeks (months? years? what is time?) ago I read the third book in Nalini Singh’s Hard Play series, Love Hard as an advance reader copy from NetGalley. I liked it.

Apparently incoming global pandemics make concentrating on reading tough for your friendly book club maven. Other than Station Eleven I didn’t finish another book for three weeks. But now that we’re in the “ordered to stay home by my governor” phase I’ve apparently settled in and am ready to return to a semi-normal schedule. So, as the anxiety fog cleared, I remembered that I had intended to read and review The Ultimate Pi Day Party by Jackie Lau for Pi Day on the 14th. I […]

The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory

February 24, 2018 by faintingviolet 4 Comments

I accrued some library fines on this book and I’m sending my apology out to the universe for the person behind me in the holds list who is delayed in getting this copy in their hands. That’s what happens when you get six books on interlibrary loan over three days (after none arriving for three weeks), your social calendar gets very full, and you can’t renew this new book (published January 30, 2018 y’all). But I’m also quite glad that I embraced the fines and kept the […]
