It's been a while since I last sat down to write a full book review, and it's no surprise that a Mimi Matthews novel is the inspiration. When you need a historical romance with depth and drama, Matthews always delivers. In The Work of Art, I've found another favorite — is it possible for all … Continue reading The Work of Art by Mimi Matthews
We're keeping it short and sweet today with two romances (or 4, if we're counting the novellas within the collection separately) and another entry in Jim Butcher's high fantasy Codex Alera series. For this intro, though, I really want to focus on the first two books, which are funny and fluffy and all the things … Continue reading Reading Roundup #96: Love & Other Books
Going back into my backlog of book tags, here's one that is both fun and easy! I was tagged by Madeline @ The Bookish Mutant, who always finds the best tags! This one was a good opportunity to look at some of the books on my TBR and ask myself "Will I actually read this?" … Continue reading The Random Number Book Tag
Happy Friday! It's time to escape the shackles off the office and enjoy a weekend of luxurious reading! But before I can do that, I need to share what I've been reading this week — one of my more eclectic roundups, with Western adventure, Victorian murder mystery, witchy romance, and more. I think the only … Continue reading Reading Roundup #95: Friday Reads
The roundup is coming in late this week because there was one more book I really wanted to include this week but hadn't finished yet! After slowing down my reading in February, I'm finally getting back into my usual groove, and these engrossing books helped a lot with that. At first glance, these are all … Continue reading Reading Roundup #94: What is Right vs. What is Easy
It's another quick roundup this week, but with some true gems — favorites old and new! Persuasion by Jane Austen: With every reread, this book only grows dearer. Austen's characters are so real, in all their weakness and their strength, and even on this my unknown –nth reread, I laughed and cried with them. Persuasion … Continue reading Reading Roundup #93: The Minuscule Roundup of Book It With Becca
Life doesn't always go to plan, as our trio of heroines can attest. But sometimes, the unplanned things are the best... and sometimes they're just another reason to thank heaven you have a bestie who's just as insane as you and won't leave you in the lurch! Georgie, All Along by Kate Clayborn: This small … Continue reading Reading Roundup #92: Reading, All Along
Happy weekend, everyone! This roundup was actually ready to go earlier in the week – I just needed to write the intro – and then an ice storm hit and took power and internet with it. But it's back now, which means you get a rare weekend roundup. Because these books were just too good … Continue reading Reading Roundup #91: Let the Devil Take Tomorrow
Happy belated new year! I didn't have anything to post in a roundup last week because I was too busy to read for a while — and because I'd just embarked on three loooong books. Which I still haven't finished (and likely won't for a few weeks, if not months). But I did manage to … Continue reading Reading Roundup #90: New Year, New (to Me) Stories
Good morning! It's Sunday, and that means tag time! Madeline of The Bookish Mutant tagged me for the Winter is Coming Book Tag, which seems appropriate for this wintry day. The tag was originally created by Katherine Barka on YouTube and is great fun. Let's go! SNOWFLAKE: something beautiful and always different. Choose a book … Continue reading Winter is Coming Book Tag
