Life has thrown a lot at me recently, so here are all the reviews I forgot to write!

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

The Miraculous by Jess Redman

The Tea Dragon Festival by K. O'Neill

An Exchange of Gifts by Anne McCaffrey

A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher

The Sandman: Act I by Neil Gaiman

The Princess Spy by Larry Loftis

October 31, 2021 by crystalclear 2 Comments

The Bear and the Nightingale By Katherine Arden (Warning – the review of this book contains f-bombs!) I know this was supposed to be based on a fairy tale, and some parts seemed very fairy tale-like (especially the story the nanny told toward the beginning with the girls in the snow) but I did not correlate them to any story I already knew.  I appreciated the involvement of the Russian household spirits, and how the village did quite well combining their religion and their culture […]

Only mildly witchin’

The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston

October 24, 2021 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

I like a good witch/supernatural story every now and then, so pulled this one off my shelf (cbr13bingo shelfie!) Brackston’s novel centers on Cai, a Welsh drover, and his new wife Morgana. Being a drover requires a wife, to assure the townspeople that the drover will return with their money after talking the village flocks to the London markets. Accordingly, even though Cai is not yet entirely over the death of his beloved first wife, he proposes to and marries Morgana, a younger woman from […]

For the night is dark, and full of terrors

Through the Woods by Emily Carroll

October 21, 2021 by Malin 1 Comment

4.5 stars CBR13 Bingo: Shelfie In five creepy stories ranging from the historical to more recent times, writer and artist Emily Carroll gives us her take on proper spine-tingling fairy tales. Accompanied by her absolutely beautiful art, the tales are all the more chilling because of the illustrations. This absolutely qualifies as a graphic novel, or probably more accurately a graphic short story (or fairy tale) anthology. Some of the stories are short, some are longer, all managed to truly unnerve me, while also entertaining […]

Portrait of a Scotsman by Evie Dunmore

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun

October 16, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Don’t Hate the Player I did not expect to like this as much as I did! It’s a lovely, charming story with engaging lead characters and just the right level of stakes given their relative ages. The story is your classic “I have two lives” hyper focused female lead, except in this case she is both a straight A field hockey type with a tiger mom and a pretty good eSports player on a team that’s one step away from just being called Evil Guys. […]

Our Town, Crosby, Maine

Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout

September 23, 2021 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

Cbr13bingo Shelfie BINGO BLACKOUT Elizabeth Strout’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Olive Kitteridge reads more like a short story collection than a novel. Set in the seaside town of Crosby, Maine, this book takes the reader into the lives and histories of its inhabitants with Olive at the center of many stories and on the periphery of others. Olive is a complicated woman, prone to moodiness and judgment but also capable of deep and unexpected compassion for her neighbors. Through the relationships of Crosby’s residents, Elizabeth Strout examines […]

A series I am sad to see go.

The Desolation of Devil's Acre by Ransom Riggs

September 16, 2021 by chelz.hawk Leave a Comment

     “Stay safe, peculiar folk, it’s weird out there. And not in a good way.” Caul is back. And once again all of peculiardom is in danger. Loops are being raided and destroyed all over the world, sending refugee peculiars flooding into Devil’s Acre. But things in the acre are more than a little weird as it beings to rain  blood, bones, and ash. Noor and Jacob have no idea how they survived V’s loop and ended up back on Abe Portman’s front porch, […]
