Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time

Is there anything more we can ask of a romance than for it to make us feel swoony? 

Georgie All Along by Kate Clayborn

Once upon a time, I told a story about myself. And maybe if I can make some of that story come true—Buzzard’s Neck, The Bend, whatever—I’ll be closer to writing a new one.   Much like how I’m finding younger heroines less relatable, I think I’ve also reached the point in my reading life where perfect/mostly perfect main characters are no longer that interesting to me.  True, the saintly, virginal, personifications of perfection that populated many of the books that blooded me (as the folks […]

CBR15 Passport Challenge: New to you Authors – Jen Comfort, Kate Clayborn, and Melissa Capriglione Midnight Duet by Jen Comfort is a gender-flipped remix of Phantom of the Opera. Erika Greene seemingly had it all when taking on a lead Broadway role.

I’m sitting here trying to remember the details of this book, which I clearly loved at the time (May), but all I can do is remember certain scenes and the feelings in general that the book gave me. So pardon the short review, I won’t have much to say beyond: this was a great romance novel and I enjoyed it a lot. Georgie, our main character, is temporarily moving back home with no clear idea of what her future is going to look like. When […]

#CannonBookClub June 2023 Book Announcement

by 9 Comments

Hello, Cannonballers! Whether school’s out or not, the time for summer book club is nearly upon us. Since I decided that my first time participating in CannonBookClub in any way, shape, or form should involve me organizing and hosting, I figured the smart plan would be to keep things simple: one book, nothing too heavy. It was a good plan, but then I remembered that much like summer in the hometown I’ll soon be moving back to (New Orleans, LA), I have ZERO chill. So, […]

I decide I ought to find out everything in life she wants to say yes to, so I can hear it over and over again

I like Kate Clayborn’s Georgie, All Along so much. This is the book I’ve been waiting for since Luck of the Draw. Her other releases have been good, but this one, this one is the perfect blend of heart, sass, and heat. It will make you cry, but won’t make you feel stupid for doing it. Georgie Mulcahey returns to the small Virginia town where she grew up with all her worldly possessions in her Prius. She’s come back to help her best friend get […]
