A cute premise but ultimately a forgettable book

Trouble in Mudbug by Jana Deleon

by Leave a Comment

I love the Miss Fortune series by Jana Deleon. Seriously. Love, love, love it. I’ve recommended it to so many people. A few weeks ago, I got a notice from amazon that the latest book has come out. I quickly got tired of waiting for my library to purchase a copy, so I picked up Trouble in Mudbug, the first in the Ghost-in-Law series by Jana Deleon, in hopes that it would tide me over.  Botanist Maryse Robicheaux spends her days in the bayou hunting […]

Nothing to Care About

Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner

by 2 Comments

I’m a cover whore. Oftentimes, it only takes a cute cover for me to buy a book. I know it’s a compulsion I should reign in, along with buying drinks because the can is adorable, but alas, I haven’t yet. When Something to Talk About popped up in my Goodreads feed, I was in love. My anticipation for the book was sky-high—finally a Sapphic book with a cover that made me swoon but that wasn’t about teenagers (nothing wrong with that, but I remained closeted […]

Didn’t know it, but I needed a romance with a geeky, anxious lead that I relate to.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

by 2 Comments

When I received Fangirl in the 2019 Cannonball book exchange, the first thing I noticed about the cover of my edition (the one pictured in this review) was that the art was done by Noelle Stevenson.  I adore Stevenson’s graphic novel Nimona and seeing her art on the book gave me a warm glow before even cracking the cover.  This was in addition to the good will Rowell built up with Eleanor and Park, and Pumpkinheads, but it was low on the TBR so it […]

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman

by Leave a Comment

This was fun! I wish the stakes had been a bit higher, though. In many ways, I think this felt as relatable for me as it was anti-climactic, and for the same reason. Nina Hill is not me (she has her shit way more together than I do, and she’s kind of a badass in the right setting, whereas I have never been and never will be described that way), but we have A LOT of things in common, for instance not being flexible in […]

Completely NSFW. And, seriously. WTF.

The Greatest Risk by Kristen Ashley

by 4 Comments

The Greatest Risk by Kristen Ashley Patty: [Maniacal laughter] Well. This is how PattyKates breaks a months-long reviewing dry spell. Buckle up, people, or risk getting bound and spanked. Katie: The Greatest Risk is hands down the filthiest, most absurd Kristen Ashley book I’ve ever read. HANDS DOWN. It raises so many questions in the mind of this very confused reader.  Patty: Boys and girls, I want to tell you a story about two people who meet, fall in love, and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, […]
