Another jaunty romp through Button Cove with book characters and magic everywhere! This is easily my favorite of the Three Tomes Bookshop books so far. The chaos, the pop culture references, ANNE BOLEYN, and I absolutely died at the mention of the Mallowan Hall series, which is also on my TBR. Having recently seen SIX […]
This was a very sweet, slow burn frenemies to lovers. It is one of those books that I can feel the emotion in my palms, if that makes any sense. Because I have sunk so far into smut reading, this is a different sort of romance than I currently read, but the kind of romance […]
This was a delight to read. There were parts that I actually laughed out loud at. The clowns – THE CLOWNS! I was dying! The dialogue was snappy and snarky in places, and I love me some snark. I absolutely loved the different aspects of two cultures and their assumptions coming together in this story. There were […]
This was an intense book. I was not expecting to read it so fast, but I was absolutely riveted. It also gave me some weird dreams, but I suppose that’s what I get for staying up until 12:30am reading it. The world building was amazing, I had no trouble envisioning the remoteness of the Upper Peninsula, […]
This is my favorite book by Colleen so far. The mystery gripped me, the tension was fraught and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. While I found some of the conversation stilted, I enjoyed the set up of the city and the settings for the book. It was very […]
As much as I love reading memoirs, especially when read to me by the author, I find it so hard to write reviews of them. I feel like I’m critiquing their life, not the way they told it to me, you know? Bah. Anyway… I have been a fan of Rebel Wilson since Pitch Perfect, […]
While I am very familiar with the Wizard of Oz and many of its world expansions and re-tellings, this book never really hooked me. Dorothy (Dee) was flat and didn’t really have a lot of growth or internal reflection. Much of the book was her complaining about Gray, which, he was awful, manipulative and terrible […]
This was a little different for a memoir for me. Patton tells of his early career through the lens of his movie addiction during that time. It’s an approach I’m not sure that I’ve seen, and it obviously was an issue for him that he needed to deal with. I just never thought about people […]
I have been completely buried in this universe for almost the entire month of June. After ranting about the ending of Zodiac Academy Book 4, and how was I supposed to go off an read an entire other 5 book series?? Well, it turns out that I freaking loved it. I would say that I […]
Love Songs is another Michigan author written book, by D.K. Marie. I found this book at the Author’s Alley event that is sponsored by 2 Dandelions Bookshop (which is expanding!) in Brighton, MI. I attended with my husband and daughter, towards the end of the event. There were several children’s authors there, and as we […]
