Well, I definitely didn’t have recommending a book with “accidental cannibalism” in the list of trigger warnings on my bingo card, but here we are… While I definitely was icked out at some of the descriptions of decaying dead bodies and um, some of the descriptions of the murdery activities in this novel, it was […]
Another, but different book club read! I had two book clubs this weekend, and it was excellent! This is a solid 3/5. I am intrigued by the general plot, and want to know what the hell is going on between the different factions. However, I’m very meh about the characters. No one listens to the […]
The STEM romance queen Ali Hazelwood has turned her attention to fantasy, and I am not sure how we can survive! I was excited to read this because I have thoroughly enjoyed literally everything else Ali has written. I ended up reading this now because Stephanie and I finally both had physical copies, in our […]
I straight up DEVOURED this book. I started reading Tuesday night and finished it Wednesday afternoon! Though, to be fair, this is a Once Upon a Book Club (OUAB) book, so I had gifties I was really looking forward to getting to! I am not a monthly subscriber, but I do pay attention to their […]
Wow. I’m not even sure how to write this up without major spoilers! I started reading this for a book club at 2 Dandelions that I wasn’t actually able to attend. Our daughter was at her mom’s for the weekend of Mother’s Day, so I got a Bonus Mother’s Day on the Monday of the […]
Apparently my theme this week is “romance with mental illness” as this ARC is exactly that. Just a heads up, I am a member of the ARC team for Ally Williams, so this was provided to me free of charge in exchange for an honest review. A sweet romance that combined some of my favorite […]
I devoured several of Olivia Dade’s romances last summer, and I was super excited to see that she had another book coming out earlier this year. Olivia often has plus size women in the FMC roles in her novels, this was no different. I really like how she lovingly describes larger women, their beauty and […]
I absolutely loved this sapphic teammates to lovers rom com! What a cute romance. Just ah! So cute! The neurospicy elements were handled kindly, and showed one partner supporting the other by doing the things that they knew were overwhelming for the undiagnosed partner. And(!) in the process of researching how to support her partner, […]
I seriously contemplated using a giant red flag for this cover, instead of the actual cover. tl;dr: I did not enjoy this book. My StoryGraph review was “WTF.” **spoilers ahead** Like, I understand that dark romance is a thing, but there is nothing in this that handles it in a way that shows that there […]
The Name-Bearer by Natalia Hernandez (StoryGraph review) was gifted to me by a member of (one of) my book clubs, Kati, an awesome human if there ever was one! This particular book club reads a lot of fantasy, so it wasn’t a far leap to assume I’d like this one. And, dear reader, I did. […]
