Meal by Blue Deliquanti, Soleil Ho

by Leave a Comment

From this graphic novel I have learned that I should not request graphic novel ARCs from NetGalley. I have to read them on my laptop, which is not great for such a visual medium. This particular ARC had watermarks over the pages which made them even harder to read. I did receive this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. You should take my review with a grain of salt, because there were things working against my experience which you would not have if you bought the graphic novel in hard copy. Yarrow is a young chef determined to […]

They Each Had to Throw Themselves Overboard

Three Part Harmony (Plot Twist) by Holley Trent

by Leave a Comment

I really enjoyed Three Part Harmony. Menage isn’t really my interest in romance. I have a hard enough time believing two people can make it work, anything beyond that strains credulity. Holley Trent really makes it work in this book. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The cover of this book is a lie. None of these characters are babies. They are each adults struggling with the stuff that adults struggle with – success, failure, motivation, and still trying to figure out their relationships with their families. The threesome is Raleigh, Bruce and Everley. […]

Deciding to be a hero

Teen Titans: Raven by Kami Garcia, Gabriel Picolo

by Leave a Comment

Raven Roth doesn’t know how she got here. She wakes up from a car accident to discover that her only family, her soon-to-be adopted mother has passed. Worse, she doesn’t remember anything about her life before. To add another layer to this horror, strange things keep happening. Why can she hear everyone’s thoughts? Why do the things she thinks about keep happening? And what’s with the bird shadow following her around? Raven wrestles with these questions, supported by her foster mother’s sister and niece. Bonus: there’s a cute boy hanging around (and, because it’s Kami Garcia, it’s complicated). Kami Garcia’s […]

This Place Is Not My Home

This Place is Not My Home (Brothers #2) by Cyn Bermudez

by Leave a Comment

Brothers Victor and Isaac are living in foster homes over an hour apart. This book is their email correspondence with one another as both try to adjust to their changing world. While Isaac has been placed in a home where he feels welcome, his older brother Victor is struggling in his placement. There are a lot of kids in his foster home, and he clashes with one of the other children. When Victor is accused of theft, he scrambles to find a way out of his placement. I missed the first installment in the series, but the book feels fairly […]

Has anyone told you how dramatic you are?

One Day to Fall by Therese Beharrie

by Leave a Comment

I requested this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review at the same time that I requested Therese Beharrie’s Island Fling with the Tycoon. I’m so glad I was given both books. I follow Beharrie on Twitter, where she is funny and smart. One Day to Fall is so good. It’s out on August 12. Sophia is at the hospital with her mother and younger sister while her older sister is in labor. Parker is at the same hospital where his mother has been treated for injuries after being hit by a car. Sophia’s relationships with her mother and sisters have been […]

Monomachy (n.) a fight between two lone combatants; a duel.

The Cabinet of Linguistic Curiosities: A Yearbook of Forgotten Words by Paul Anthony Jones

by Leave a Comment

On a whim, I requested The Cabinet of Linguistic Curiosities: A Yearbook of Forgotten Words from NetGalley. I received it in exchange for an honest review. Unlike most NetGalley books, this one was released in 2017 and is available now. I’ve enjoyed it and would recommend it as a gift for language lovers. It is what it says it is, a year’s worth of forgotten words arranged by date, often the word is related to an incident that happened on that date in history. It’s fun, occasional reading. The author, Paul Anthony Jones, is clearly a lover of words. He […]

The fact that she had sheet-cake frosting smudged on the corner of her mouth did nothing to diminish her authority

Unsung Heroine by Sarah Kuhn

by Leave a Comment

I have been reading but not reviewing Sarah Kuhn’s Heroine Complex series. I was very happy to get an ARC of Unsung Heroine from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. At some point I will review the three previous books – Heroine Complex, Heroine Worship, and Heroine’s Journey. I will say now that they are fun books, and you should definitely read them before picking up this novella. Unsung Heroine focuses on Lucy Valdez, the bodyguard with no superpowers, but awesome fighting skills, a killer fashion sense, reigning karaoke champion, and a deep love of British mystery shows. She is also in […]

Grumpy and Guarded and Falling in Love

Island Fling with the Tycoon by Therese Beharrie

by Leave a Comment

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed Island Fling with the Tycoon so much. It was my first Therese Beharrie book and I look forward to many more. Piper Evans flies from her home in Cape Town, South Africa to the Greek Islands to attend her older brother’s wedding. Piper and her brother, Liam, survived growing up with a very controlling father and have not been close as adults. She had not felt like she could afford to travel and stay on Mykannos, but her concerns were waved away by the bride’s older brother […]
