As you will know from my last review, I greatly enjoyed Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Daisy Jones & The Six, so it seemed a no-brainer to then read her book, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. All I really knew about The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was that it sounded like it was going to share some similarities to… Continue reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Like many people, this past year has not been easy for me. I’ve been living alone for the majority of it, and as much as my cat tries, she cannot actually hold a conversation with me. I’ve also gone through slumps in my reading, but this year I’ve read some books that I’m not sure… Continue reading Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
It's hard to believe it was twenty years ago that I first read The Princess Diaries and my love of royalist fiction was born. I first read it after the movie came out and my friends and I became obsessed with the movie. And then I was a bit disappointed that both of my parents… Continue reading Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean
A Court of Thorns and Roses #4 I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy A Court of Silver Flames as much as the first three books in the series, but ultimately my trust in Sarah J. Maas’ ability to redeem flawed characters made me realize there was no way I wouldn’t enjoy it! For… Continue reading A Court of Silver Flames
Bridgertons #1 While quarantining in Miami before seeing my niece and nephew last week, my mother in law suggested we watch Bridgerton on Netflix together. Now I had heard about some scenes that would make most uncomfortable at the prospect of watching with an in law, but mine is pretty darn cool. But I insisted… Continue reading The Duke and I by Julia Quinn

I'll still have lots of books to tell you about for January, but this month will actually be two-fold, November & December. As the book buyer… Continue reading New This Month: November & December 2020
Fourth Book Published in the Verity series Code Name Verity will forever and always be one of my all time favorite books. Whenever Elizabeth Wein has released a new book in the series (none of which follows the other directly but all are related) I immediately want to read it. And while none has thus… Continue reading The Enigma Game by Elizabeth Wein
Recently I went to my local comic shop (New Wave Comics in Skippack, PA) to pick up an absurd number of comics they'd been holding for me. Of course, as usual, I had a poke around the trade paperbacks that they have in as they often differ from the ones we carry at the store,… Continue reading Sara by Garth Ennis & Steve Epting
The Greek Myths Reimagined - Follow up to Mythos I hadn't realized it was almost exactly a year ago I reviewed Mythos, as I had also listened to it as an advanced listening copy on Libro.fm! It's a great follow-up, this time following the Greek human and demi-god heroes versus the gods themselves. Synopsis From… Continue reading Heroes by Stephen Fry
Happy October! This month we continue on with the pre-holiday pub dates for the major publishers which means LOTS of awesome books to add to your TBR!
