Games People Play

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

by Leave a Comment

There are a lot of games that Lucy and Josh have been playing over the past year. There’s the Mirror Game (mirroring each other’s movements), the HR Game (threatening to go to HR, and sometimes actually going to HR), the Staring Game (self-explanatory), and more. Lucy claims to hate Josh and is certain that he hates her as well. Their relationship dynamics start to shift as they begin vying for a promotion at work. I generally enjoyed the story. Lately I’ve been wanting to read […]

In order from most adored to least

Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

Get A Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

by Leave a Comment

Three romances to start off my reviews for the year. I ended 2019 with at least ten books I never got around to writing up, so I am going to try to keep on top of it better this year. Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston: 5/5 I don’t know that I have much to add about this book that hasn’t been said by other Cannonballers. The adjective that repeatedly comes to mind for this book is ‘fizzy’. Each of the books in […]

Why Did I Wait So Long

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

by 8 Comments

I received the book The Hating Game from our Cannonball book exchange, it’s been languishing on my “to read” list on Goodreads forever.  But here’s my secret, I haven’t really read many romance novels since maybe 5th grade? Well, I’ve read The Hating Game now, and I have feelings…so, so many feelings.  I don’t think I’ve cried reading a book in a very long time.  Towards the end I had to stop reading for a stretch because I think I was worrying at least one […]

99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne

Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner

Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

by Leave a Comment

CBR 11 Bingo- Not My Wheelhouse 99 Percent Mine – Sally Thorne I chose a romance novel, Thorne’s The Hating Game, for last year’s Not My Wheelhouse and while I enjoyed it the romance genre floodgates were not opened for me so I chose another kissing book for the same square this year. Darcy Barrett and her twin brother, Jamie, inherited their grandmother’s tear-down of a cottage which has caused some estrangement between the siblings. Their childhood best friend, Tom, has been hired as the contractor […]

Kissing Books!

Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid

99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne

The Bride Test (The Kiss Quotient, #2) by Helen Hoang

Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

by 4 Comments

Kissing books with varying degrees of actual kissing (Ayesha At Last might be the most chaste book I’ve read all year, but it’s still very romantic). Ordered vaguely from least favorite to most. (3 stars) Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid I’m always on the lookout for new Taylor Jenkins Reid, and after I finished Daisy Jones I had a definite hankering. Luckily, Reid published a story I’d never come across before, and it was available free through Amazon. Unfortunately, it was a short […]
