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. […]
One hell of a trilogy
I’m going to review this whole trilogy in one review. As such, there is bound to be some spoilers, and if you want to go in completely cold, you may want to skip this review and just trust me that while the first book is a bit slow, and not the most engaging of reads on its own, the trilogy as a whole is mighty compelling reading, and well worth your time. At least if you like well-written fantasy, tons of political intrigue and plots […]
Once More for the People In the Back!
Add me to the chorus of people loving this book! I reread passages as I went along, I’m already reread Beth Ellen’s copy that she lent me, I intend to buy a copy of my own, AND I’ll probably pick up an ebook copy one day when it goes on sale. I suspect this will be a comfort read for years to come. I can’t even properly write about this book. I had a big smile plastered on my face the entire time I was […]
Why do I punish myself and continue to make myself finish books I’m no longer interested in?
This is really more of a 2.5 to *maybe* a low 3 star book. This is the second book in the Blades of the Rose series. I was really surprised, but I did not like it nearly as much as the first. When reading the description this one seemed way more up my alley, but it didn’t pan out and took me absolutely months to finish reading it. I’m going to plagiarize myself a little bit from a prior review to give the setup: Bennett […]
I give you Liane Moriarty and this is the thanks I get.
My Granny reads a lot. She goes through nearly a book a day, like some kind of elderly badkittyuno. Her taste is pretty decent. I introduced her to Liane Moriarty and in under two weeks she’d read everything she’d ever written. So when she enthusiastically recommended The Girl Who Came Home, I requested it from the library and bumped it to the top of my list. Not much gets to cut in my to-be-read line, but the woman is a months-away-from-70 pancreatic cancer survivor…frankly, who […]
Then you look back at me and suddenly I’m helpless
YOU GUYS I can’t tell if I like this author or if she makes me want to stab my eyes out. I think it’s both? This is how I feel when I watch, I don’t know, True Blood. I’m simultaneously entertained but I also hate myself for watching it and I hate most of the characters. I didn’t hate everyone in Truth or Beard by I found myself confounded by many of their actions and thoughts and parts of this plot were just outright WHAAAAA. […]
