An intriguing mystery revealed in an unintriguing way

The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young

by 1 Comment

Me and my spouse have a Christmas tradition of buying each other a book. We generally try to find something that we think the other would like but might not be something they would usually pick out themselves. The Unmaking of June Farrow was my pick for her this year. Not to pat my own back, but I nailed it. She gave it five stars on Goodreads after finishing the whole book in two days. While we are both consistent readers, it is unusual for […]

Hounded by fairweather friends after winning the lottery, Opal impulsively buys a flower farm amid cottagecore visions of opening her own studio. But there is already someone living at the Thistle and Bloom – thorny farmer Pepper, who has no clue that her home has been sold out from under her, and is certainly not happy to learn about it. Firstly, take a good look at that cover. It is so pretty that I returned to it multiple times over the course of reading this […]

Jolene copes with her soul-sucking job by pretending to be invisible and ranting at her coworkers in emails in white text. But when she’s found out, she’s sentenced to anti-harassment training with the cute new HR rep and restrictions on her computer – except it turns out that she’s accidentally been given access to the emails of every single of her coworkers instead. Often funny and often sad and very much filled with petty office politics which verge just on unbelievable sometimes. Jolene is a […]

Oh What Tangled Webs We Weave

It Started With a Secret by Tif Marcelo

by Leave a Comment

When Jared goes to the town of Peak in search of answers about his father’s family, the last thing he expects is to spend a night with Matilda, the prickly manager of their B&B. There is a lot of story packed into this fairly short book – Reconnecting with your roots! Family drama! Age gap! Forbidden workplace romance! – but author Marcelo does a decent job of giving all of it plenty of page time, even if it means some of them are a bit […]

The High Mountain Court by A. K. Mulford

by Leave a Comment

I’m not entirely sure how I ended up with a copy of The High Mountain Court, by A. K. Mulford. I don’t remember buying it or being gifted it, but it’s probably been sitting on my shelf for at least the past few years. I didn’t know much about this book before starting to read it. It tells the story of nineteen-year-old Remy, who believes herself to be the last red witch alive after the King of the Northern Court invaded the High Mountain Court […]
