Lose Yourself in the World of Books
American Royals #1 It’s not often that Laura tells me that I must read a book, typically we’re going the other way ‘round, I’m telling her what she must read! But when I had the opportunity to do a virtual event with Katharine at the old store, I figured best time to finally sit down… Continue reading American Royals by Katharine McGee
Tokyo Ever After #2 In continuing my efforts to only read new books that I'm fairly certain I'll enjoy, I'm turning once more to a sequel. I really enjoyed Tokyo Ever After last year and was doubly excited to get a physical advance copy from our publisher rep at the store back in December. Synopsis… Continue reading Tokyo Dreaming by Emiko Jean
Tokyo Ever After #1 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… Continue reading Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean
The Greek Myths Reimagined #2 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 the publisher marketing:In this… Continue reading Heroes by Stephen Fry
Laura and I have both been hopelessly obsessed with the British royal family for practically our whole lives. As such, we tend to seek out books with very royal characters in them. Below are just a few of our favorites - click the images for the reviews and the titles to add them to your… Continue reading Royalist Reverie
American Royals #1 Like my wonderful sister I am always going to pick up a book that is related to royalty, whether real or fictional. When the pandemic lockdown started earlier this year, I started buying lots of books to make sure I would have enough. Although I firmly believe I could never have enough… Continue reading American Royals by Katharine McGee
I'm not a big contemporary fiction reader, heck, I'm not even a big fiction reader. But when I was looking through my categories and tags for a good topic for a Bookish Tuesday post, I realized I've read more than I think I have. And as we wrap up the summer staff picks competition at… Continue reading My Favorite Modern Day Fiction Books
Royal We #2 I've found myself reading quite a bit of fiction this summer which is rare for me! Nonfiction readers don't fear, running the Nonfiction Book Club means that there will always be lots of nonfiction on my reading list! But I loved The Royal We so when I first found out a sequel… Continue reading The Heir Affair by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan
We're back! At the beginning of June my bookstore was able to reopen partially to the public, and then a week ago we were able to open more fully. That was, I hope understandably, very stressful. But this week I could finally take some time to sit back and head out to my in-laws beach… Continue reading Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
Greek Myths Reimagined #1 Mythos was included as one of Libro.fm's advanced listening copies for booksellers and as I was in the mood for something a little different for my evening listening (and I've always loved Stephen Fry), I figured it was a good one to try out! Synopsis From the Front Flap:Rediscover the thrills,… Continue reading Mythos by Stephen Fry
