Hello! My name is Cait and I love movies! (Time for you to answer in kind) Blank it! (Thank it!) If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then good! You now get to jump head-first into the joy that is Blank Check with Griffin and David! Blank Check is a podcast about movies- but not just any movies- it’s a podcast about directors! No, wait, it’s not exactly about directors, but it IS about directors who make “Blank Check” films. “Cait, you want us to listen […]

one last re-read of a book from 2021, which is a great sign

Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell

Strong content warnings, from the author: https://everinamaxwell.com/content-wa… Thanks again to the dual recommendations from llamareadsbooks and CoffeeShopReader both! Re-read (October 2021, review December 2021): I wanted to also re-read this book after The Charm Offensive and my re-read of Boyfriend Material, so I suppose the best theme you could stitch would be “gay HEAs, location notwithstanding.” I agree with the original reviews that this isn’t really a romance first scifi novel, but perhaps it’s more of a mood that you have to go into it with. On this second re-read, I found it very romantic, […]

In other books that I loved a lot this year

A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik

Re-read (September 2021) in advance of The Last Graduate!!! it’s interesting, I think the book on the whole is a 4* book but reads a lot like a 3* book from a writing style? Reading this a second time, I’m less confused about the various plot points but it’s still a lot of exposition that you have to chew through, all within El’s head. I think the part that tips it into 4* territory is that the exposition in El’s head is next-level–I read a lot […]

Advance apologies if re-reads aren’t kosher but I did genuinely do so

The Last Hellion by Loretta Chase

Lord Perfect by Loretta Chase

Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase

It seems so petty to have re-read books that I read literally THIS year but re-read them I did, when I was having a pretty rough time of it in the summer. It makes me so grateful to have finally, finally committed to joining the Cannonball community—I wouldn’t have read these if it weren’t for Malin, and clearly there are many others in that bucket as well. I then went ahead and included a selection of books from these two Loretta Chase series to a […]

another re-read with reviews old and new

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

Re-read (October 2021): wanted to read this after reading The Charm Offensive and I am very glad I did! Luc and Oliver are excellent. This book is hilarious. Bridget continues to be the best. I am glad I now have this obscure reference to a Ferrero Rocher commercial from the 90s to pull out and flabbergast people with. When reading this book again, after having read MANY romance novels in the intervening time, I realize it’s long in the best way–Luc actually learns from his mistakes […]

The Hating Game, in three reviews

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

December 20, 2021 by wicherwill 8 Comments

Re-re-read (December 19, 2021): Yes, I did just re-re-read this one–for the second time this year–after watching the movie. This is definitely getting bumped up to five stars. What is it about this book that is so alluring? I’ve written about it before, but if you scroll through my reviews you can see that I didn’t actually “get” some of the set up Hating Games prior to the start of the romance bits. But now, after having read some lovely reviews of this book and […]

esmemoria on What Else Would You Look With?I wonder if the audio brings out the best in the novel. The last part of the book was pretty great, but I had so...
narfna on What Else Would You Look With?Sad you didn't really like this one. I absolutely loved it. Not sure when I will be able to wrap my head around reviewing it....
narfna on And now, jump back hundreds and hundreds of years…#BlameMalin on this one for me, too, because she literally sent me a copy.
narfna on “And that very same evening—that very same evening—Lord Edgware dies. Good title that, by the way. Lord Edgware Dies. Look well on a book stall.”That's gotta be the new headcanon.
drmllz on “And that very same evening—that very same evening—Lord Edgware dies. Good title that, by the way. Lord Edgware Dies. Look well on a book stall.”I like to think the wife packs Hastings off to England to hang out with Poirot and enjoys having a whole ranch to herself...
