5/12/2023 0 Comments Nightvine by Felicia Davin![]() ![]() I felt like this worked best when it was focused on the doors and the attempts to escape from the bad guys. ![]() ![]() THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY by Alix Harrow. I learned a lot here and it definitely made me think about how I interact with wild animals. Roach writes great popular science books (BONK and STIFF about the science of sex and what happens to human cadavers, respectively, are both fabulous) and this one is about humans’ interactions with wildlife. Oh! And there’s an absolutely FABULOUS interview between Laymon and Tressie McMillan Cottom on the Ezra Klein Show (Tressie is guest hosting) about what it means to revise art and what it means to be a responsible artist and in dialogue with the world around you. I’ve been thinking about it since I finished it. Laymon grew up in Mississippi with an abusive mother and there’s just so much in here about trauma, love, social pressure, violence, and a sense of home and how much all of those things shape you. This memoir (as the title clearly says!) is pretty heavy. I’m enjoying the evolution of the characters’ relationships and the found family angle. This is the third Wrexford and Sloane mystery. I’ve just realized that nothing I’ve read over the last couple of weeks has been a straight up romance, but I would consider them mostly romance adjacent? ![]()

There was no one driving the plane, just plain, regular, screaming babies. There were thirty-six crying and screaming babies found on that mysterious plane, but there was no pilot, no crew, and even no adult passengers.

They’re coming back to get you.” Jonah, Chip, and Jonah’s annoying sister, Katherine, all learn from Angela DuPrue, an agent from Sky Trails Airline, that thirteen years ago, a mysterious plane appeared out of nowhere. That all changed when he and his friend that he just met, Chip, who is also adopted, start receiving some strange letters.

Once you read this novel, you will definitely fall in love with the characters who have played their roles quite impressively. It is a heart-wrenching and romantic packed with courage and growth, of patience and trust. The connection between the characters is emitting from the pages. “Breaking the Bully” is a highly enriching, mysterious, and marvelous read in which the author has shaped each character beautifully. For readers who have a passion for adult forbidden romance, this is a must-have novel them. ![]() ![]() Breaking the Bully by Jessa Kane is completely a page-turner from starting to the ending. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments The Notorious Rake by Mary Balogh![]() ![]() ![]() But when it comes to a heavier issue, like sexual assault, where our society has not fully progressed to the point where victims are believed, or at least given the benefit of the doubt (case in point: all the negative reactions to the people coming out about sexual assault in Hollywood), Indiscreet is both historically accurate and relevant to modern times, despite the fact that it was written twenty years ago looking at the unfairness of society two hundred years ago.īalogh conveys the narrative of the victim beautifully through Catherine, showing how her past has led her to this point, only to be put at risk of ruination and ostracism once again. With historical romance, it can often be a difficult balancing act trying to make stories feel relatable to modern readers while also not being too anachronistic. MAJOR SPOILER WARNING! PROCEED WITH CAUTION. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments My brother michael by mary stewart![]() ![]() In his words, Simon had come to Delphi to "appease the shade" of his brother Michael, killed some fourteen years earlier on Parnassus. ![]() Perhaps it was coincidence-or perhaps Camilla Haven unintentionally invoked the gods that afternoon in the crowded Athens café when she wrote to a friend: "Nothing ever happens to me."īut a few hours later-and by happenings extraordinary indeed-Camilla was in Delphi, in the company of Simon Lester, a most charming, but quietly determined, Englishman-and in the middle of a nightmare beyond her wildest dreams. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Virtue & vanity by astrid jane ray![]() ![]()
