Not sure if it’s me, the genre, or the book… #SummerRead

Gone Viking by Helen Russell

October 20, 2019 by Aquillia 1 Comment

…but I’m inclined to think it’s the book. I picked up Gone Viking earlier this summer for my book club (we’re all internationals living in a city in Denmark, and we chose this one because of links with Denmark). I was willing to give it a go, even though I never really read chick lit. (Note: not dissing the genre at all, just saying it’s usually not the sort of thing that interests me!) Since no one among us liked it (and others didn’t even finish), […]

“Heroism’s just doing more than you want to do or think you can.” (CBR11 Bingo)

Northern Lights by Nora Roberts

August 13, 2019 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

I’m glad this Bingo Square is Summer Read, not Beach Read because I have a very peculiar definition of what I read at the beach and it is not vacation “light reading”! Northern Lights might not count for some (there are a few murders and a male protagonist fighting through depression) but a Nora Roberts romance will always be a Summer Read for me. I’ve read Northern Lights before, but its been a long time. In Northern Lights we follow Nate Burke as he moves […]

Summer is perfect for hot romance short stories

Burning Up by Nalini Singh, Angela Knight, Mejean Brooks, Virginia Kantra

August 10, 2019 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

When reading a long series, it’s nice to take a break with a genre collection under an interesting theme. Burning Up brings together four authors who know how to bring the heat to a supernatural romance! As I heard only great things about Nalini Singh, I decided to bring this on my adult spring break trip to Hawaii. I procrastinated on my review and realized this is perfect for my Summer Reads bingo square. I highly recommend powering through a sexy anthology on the plane. […]

Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren

July 29, 2019 by Jen K 4 Comments

Bingo Square: Summer Read I needed to a new romance author to try, and I remembered the reviews for this one piquing my interest, even though I didn’t end up picking it up for quite a while, and even had to ask for assistance in finding the right title.  I’m not sure if this novel is an example of how all of Lauren’s novels are or if this is her (them – Christian Lauren is actually a writing duo) at the top of her game, […]

Representation is important for the women who don’t want kids, as well (Cannonball!)

Not Another Family Wedding by Jackie Lau

July 23, 2019 by Malin 11 Comments

3.5 stars #CBR11 Bingo: Summer Read (would also work for Cannonballer Recommends and/or Own Voices) Official book description: Natalie Chin-Williams might be a cranky professor of climatology who thinks the world is doomed, but she believes in lasting love…just not for herself. She has a long history of failed relationships, plus the men she dates inevitably want children and she doesn’t.  Now thirty-six and single, Natalie expects endless comments about her love life when she attends her baby sister’s wedding. Worse, weddings are always drama-filled disasters […]
