You know, at some point, when you read as many books as I do, some of them are going to fall by the wayside. Not intentionally, of course, but since I have neither managed to clone myself nor summon a demon to aid me in my endeavors, I only have limited time, and reviews take […]
Before we get started, I assume everyone is familiar with the speed dating concept, right? Totally gonna admit I’ve never done it, because I met my husband when I was four … not that we knew it then, of course. Not like I was scoping him out and grooming him for marriage. No, I tormented […]
A fact of publishing is that sometimes certain books get hyped waaaay more than other books. Doesn’t mean the other books are worse. Doesn’t mean hyped books are better. Reading is subjective, and it really comes down to the Wizards of Marketing, who all gather in a secret location, brew something tasty (or possibly disastrous, […]
Part of being in a loving, caring, lasting relationship is viciously chucking books at your spouse’s head while screaming, “READ IT!” Wait … I’m doing this marriage thing correctly, yeah? I mean, no one’s told me I shouldn’t do that after I got married, so I just assumed I should carry on with business as […]
In case you’ve been living under a rock or in a cave somewhere … the world is kind of a crazy place right now. And sometimes when things get crazy, people enjoy reading feel-good books. Buuuut … not me. Give me a good dark fantasy that makes me appreciate the world we live in at […]
Listen. I don’t know how we got here, but 2020 is apparently already half over, and if you’ll just check your bingo cards for this year, I really just need zombies, giant asteroid, stomach-eating parasite, or vampire pigs flying to win this round. So if any of you can make any of that happen, let’s […]
Imagine this: the best meet-cute ever between two separate books. Then add a little bit of screaming, a teensy bit of murder, and the possibility of total annihilation. If we’re honest, that’s what makes it fun, right? Because let’s be real … none of these books I’m going to mash together are really going to […]
If a group of crows can be called a murder, I officially dub a bunch of ARCs to be an assassination. Think about it. It totally fits, right? They sneak up on you. You start with one ARC, maybe two, maybe three … and then suddenly there’s 30 and it’s a hulking black mass in […]
Psst. I have a secret. Okay, I have lots of secrets, but I refuse to tell you where the bodies are, so you’ll have to settle for this: I started Goodreads in 2017, and I haven’t touched by Want To Read shelf since. Well, except to add more books, obviously. Phew, it feels good to […]
Father’s Day is coming up this month, and I feel like it’s time we take a moment to appreciate the wonderful dads in fiction. I did a post like this for strong moms last year, but I hadn’t done one for dads. I’m not even sure why that is. I think it’s easier for me […]
