Project: Catch Up On Review Backlog, review #9 out of 16 So basically, my thoughts on this book are that it made some entry level mistakes, but I enjoyed myself anyway, because it also did some things I really liked. I’ve been having trouble buckling down to actually write this review, so I’ll do what I always do when that happens. Wait 5,000 years to review it and then do a pro/con list. Let’s start with the stuff I didn’t like about it first, so […]
Discovery of Dante’s Undiscovered 10th Circle of Hell Takes a Detour to a Much-Deserved Vacation In a Multi-Verse Land
I was in a bit of a reading slump. I didn’t exactly avoid cracking the spine of the long, long autobiography I’d been carefully wading through; I’d find other things I needed to do instead. When laundry, cleaning the bathroom, and a trip to the Swedish furniture superstore/newly-discovered 10th circle of Dante’s hell were all excuses NOT to read it, though, it was obvious that I needed a break. I had to find another (very specific) book. My search for a literary boost—the book to […]
#CBR10 Bingo: Underrepresented – Let’s Talk About Love
#CBR10Bingo: Underrepresented Alice’s girlfriend dumps her because she can’t really handle the fact that Alice is asexual and while she’s perfectly willing to engage in sexual acts to please her girlfriend, she herself doesn’t really get much out of it.

This is going to make a really fun movie.
This was one of those books I’ve seen around for years, and always thought I should pick it up, but just never got around to it. I’m glad the trailer of the Netflix movie adaptation came out when it did, though, and finally got me to try it out, because this was a very cute book and otherwise who knows when I would have given it a chance (I tend not to read contemporary very much). To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before follows Lara Jean Song, a […]
The Kiss Quotient
This review will fill the “Not in My Wheelhouse” square. I believe I have stated this before on here, but I’m not much of a Romance girl. There seems to be a stereotype of women loving their little mass market paperbacks of billionaires seducing young ingenues or Fabio with an open shirt kissing a woman with a heaving bosom. Of course, not all women are into these things, and if they are, that’s their business and they aren’t hurting anyone, so who cares? But I […]
She’s Back!
KATIE: Y’all. Kristen Ashley has finally managed to surprise me. In WILD LIKE THE WIND, she has created a book that begins with a bit of history relevant to the Chaos Motorcycle Club, LOTS of sex, and an attempt at redeeming a previously unlikable character so he can be the hero of this story. PATTY: YAY! SHE’S BACK! We have missed her so. KATIE: You could say this one starts off with a BANG. NOT THAT KIND OF A BANG. Duh. This kind. And many […]
