Calling it a warm hug is still the best description I’ve heard of this book

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune

January 24, 2022 by postcardsandbooks Leave a Comment

This book has been recommended to me a lot. The last of which earlier this month when I faced the fear and anxiety that mark the start of a reading slump. Nothing I picked up was sticking. Nothing made me want to read, and someone told me to push through with this, which I had on hold from the library. And it was just what I needed. This book has been described to me repeatedly as a warm hug, and I am going to have […]

“He startled when a tear slipped down his cheek. “Do I have a choice?” “In life? Always.” “And in death?” She shrugged. “It’s a little more … regimented.”

Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune

In one word: lovely I first read T.J. Klune last year when I came across the heartwarming, lovely, funny, romantic queer fantasy “House in the Cerulean Sea.” It was one of my top 3 best books of last year, so my expectations for this book were high: astronomical even. I am delighted to report that I equally loved the heartwarming, lovely, funny, romantic, queer fantasy “Under the Whispering Door.” If that pile of adjectives gets you jazzed, run, don’t walk to your nearest library or […]

Another feel-good entry from T.J. Klune.

Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune

October 31, 2021 by narfna 5 Comments

For me, this needed just a little more dark elements to balance out the schmoop, which is a thing I’m still not fully on board with in terms of Klune’s writing, although it hit me less here than it did in Cerulean Sea. But overall this was a lovely read, like a warm hug. While I do have some criticisms, mostly to do with an overdose of earnestness and not enough subtlety (also known as schmoop), I really did enjoy this book. It was an escape […]

“The things we fear the most are often the things we should fear the least. It’s irrational, but it’s what makes us human. And if we’re able to conquer those fears, then there is nothing we’re not capable of.”

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune

In One Word: Joyful Cannonball Read Bingo Square : Home A good friend of mine was reading this book for a friend book club and I nosed my way in with a jolt, “Um, ‘scuse me? Book Club did you say? What book??” That gathering of people has yet to materialize but I am filled with utter glee that this book came into my life. What. A. Delight. If you are looking for something uplifting, fun, and funny, look no further than this charming tale […]

Unfortunately shows that the first book might have ben a bit of a Flash in the pan

Flash Fire by T.J. Klune

July 15, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Rep: a really great portrayal of ADHD, which is neither glamorized nor stigmatized Spoilers for the first book in the series, . Unfortunately, while I eagerly awaited this book and rushed it to the top of my TBR list, this book did not quite reach the heights of the first. It felt a bit scattered and lacked the narrative cohesion and tension that propelled me through the first book. Not that I didn’t finish this book quickly–I did–but it’s not one a series that I […]
