Book reviews
There was a Stuff Your Kindle event going on that I missed, but it was a multi-day event that covered a larger number of genres. So, of course, I sent the dates to my best friend, who is also an avid reader.This got us talking about books. To be honest, when aren’t we talking about … Continue reading Every small Northeastern town needs a witch.
Y’all. This was not a trope I thought I’d ever pick up. I’d watch the BookTok girlies (when that was a thing in this country) talk about the Monster (ahem) books and figured that was not a trope I’d ever be interested in. Then I picked up Under Loch and Key by Lana FergusonAs a disclaimer, I … Continue reading Love at the Loch
We’re doing something different this week. My reviews are mostly about books. But occasionally there comes a movie or a tv show that is based on a book and I will review those. I think the last time I did this was when Netflix premiered the Irregulars. Or Enola Holmes. (Both are great series and … Continue reading Eureka, my dear Doctor
The Pairing was one of the choices in August’s BoTM Club categories so I chose it eagerly, and then finally managed to read it. Everyone knows how much I loved Red, White, and Royal Blue, so picking up The Pairing by Casey McQuiston was a no-brainer. The story revolves around Theo and Kit, two live-long … Continue reading Which wine goes with this cheese?

But to be truthful, the first thing that pulled me into this book was an unhinged Tumblr post. I immediately downloaded The Nightmare Before Kissmass by Sara Raasch on Audible. And then bought … Continue reading A Romance for the Holidays

Carmichael had been turned into a Hallmark movie when I picked it out of my Kindle Unlimited suggestions a year or two ago.It's been sitting in my virtual TBR pile and I figured it was time to read some … Continue reading Brambles and Snow
She’s back! And with a new series! After getting addicted to the Nannies of New York series by K. Sterling, her latest book has dropped. Jonathon After All is the first novel in the Princes Take New York series. Jonathon, for those who read the Nannies series, was a side character throughout the entire series. The … Continue reading The Modern Day Queer Fairytale
Victorian adventures are a pleasure of mine. After all, I am a fan of Sherlock Holmes. It might just be the Victorian Era as well. Despite the classism, the lack of women’s rights, and the lack of labor laws, the feel and the romanticism of it inspire me.A friend of mine-actually a few friends- were … Continue reading A Curious Beginning
Jeneva Rose has a Tik Tok. That's where I first saw her, talking about drama that happened to her first, then to her books. And that's where I heard about Home is Where the Bodies Are. I had no idea what the story was about, but Jeneva Rose was a trip and I loved the title … Continue reading Getting along with your siblings is murder.
