In a Jam by Kate Canterbary

by 1 Comment

I spent two weeks traveling earlier this month and decided a hefty 450-page romance would be an excellent choice to keep me company on planes and in hotel rooms. I was very right. I have spent the past three years adding Kate Canterbary books to my to read list thanks to a review by emmalita of The Worst Guy. Unfortunately for me, her books aren’t available through my library system so when I came across a sale, I decided that In a Jam would be […]

And the quips just keep on coming

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry

Friends to Lovers by Sally Blakely

Friends to Lovers by Sally Blakely

  Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Man, I hit a bad streak this week. I don’t even know what to say is that I love friends to lovers romance books, but this was we are not together for the dumbest things known to man for years and I lost patience with everyone involved at 50 percent. Following the love interests to various weddings over a 5 year period was a cute idea, but […]

Just The End of The World

The Dead Take The A Train by Richard Kadrey & Cassandra Khaw

by 4 Comments

This one was intense. I probably should have paid more attention to the terrifying cover illustration. Or maybe not chose to read a gory horror novel while waiting for an inspection at the mechanic. I thought I was going to throw up all over the waiting room. Julie Crews (yes I am humming the Twin Peaks theme song thank you) has been doing the most gruesome, dead end magical jobs in New York City. Now that she’s in her thirties she’s tired of just scraping […]

Death can be totally adorkable, and a little bit smutty

Morbidly Yours by Ivy Fairbanks

Hey, it’s been a loooooooong time since I have written a review. I was in a bad place, mentally. I have had a lot, and I mean A LOT of pet deaths in the past few years, and the first half of this year had a few that were back-to-back. The irony that the book that pulled me out of my slump was a book about a funeral home was not lost on me. Why don’t we have funerals for our pets? It would be […]

In a Rush by Kate Canterbary

by 4 Comments

This was an ARC sent to me by the author. My opinions are my own, and I loved the book so much that I pre-ordered a copy as soon as I’d finished reading it. Emmeline “Emme” Ahlborg catches her boyfriend, the man she was hoping was going to propose to her, in the act, sleeping with another woman (when Emme shows up on his doorstep with home-cooked food). She’s devastated, and what’s worse, he’s a groomsman in the wedding of her best friend (to whom […]
