Another Cannonball Read Rainbow Rowell Success Story! This is my first Rainbow Rowell novel, and I would not have found her so quickly were she not a huge CBR favorite. And I get it, but also I don’t? She is undeniably a damn delight. But more to point about this specific book, the part of me that’s still mad that “Bridget Jones’ Baby” ended with a fucking wedding is really bummed out that Lincoln (our hero) ends his Attachments journey to emotional health and adult sustainability […]

I’ve been sitting on this review for awhile now, and not just because I procrastinate with the best of them when it comes to my reviews, but because I honestly do not know how I feel about this book. I think I know how I’m supposed to feel about it, but I’m not even a hundred percent sure of that. I’m sure you know the story, especially since the movie came out a few months ago. Quiet, shy, relatively poor Louisa loses her job at […]
Dear Fake Character People: An Open Letter to (most of) the Characters in Emma
This is the fifth in my series of posts wherein I write reviews for classic books in the form of letters to the characters so as to avoid actually writing a review for a book that has been written about by everyone’s mother’s second cousin’s uncle twice removed from a monkey. I’m re-reading all of Jane Austen’s books in 2016, and it has so far been a fun experience. July was Emma month, and I was very much looking forward to it, since I’ve liked it more and more every time […]
Arena
“Arena” is the debut novel by Holly Jennings, another subscription pick by my bookstore. “Arena” sat on my bookshelf for several months after coming home from the bookstore. The opening blurb on the inside cover reads, “EVERY WEEK, KALI LING FIGHTS TO THE DEATH ON NATIONAL TV. SHE’S DIED HUNDREDS OF TIMES. AND IT NEVER GETS EASIER…..”. After it stops shouting, you are informed how she is part of a Virtual Gaming League, competing in the premier tournament of the season. “And though their weapons and […]
“You’re like a crazy cat lady, but you collect killers instead of fluffy cats.”
4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is book nine in the Kate Daniels series. The penultimate book in the series, in fact. I will not be able to review this book without there being spoilers for earlier books. Don’t read this if you’re not all the way caught up. Do pick up the series if you like good Urban/Paranormal fantasy, though, it’s pretty much the best out there at the moment. Private detective and supernatural powerhouse Kate Daniels is finally getting married to Curran Lennart, former […]
Sweet and fun fairytale update
Many of you have recommended this romance to me as someone who has trouble loving romances. This was really sweet and I thorougly enjoyed it. It’s been reviewed here at CBR a zillion times, but this is a Cinderella retelling. Sophie Beckett is our principled and kind heroine, a blow-by of an earl, forced into servitude by an evil stepmother and unloving stepsisters. When she sneaks into a masquerade ball, she meets and falls in love with Benedict Bridgerton, but leaves before revealing her identity. […]
