Lynn’s Review: I completely blame Julie for my new obsession with the Vampire Academy books. Well, Julie, Richelle Mead, and Dimitri. In less than 3 months, I’ve read all six books. I thought I’d review the whole series. Spoilers, obvs. Book 1: Vampire Academy: I skipped the first book in this series and watched […]
Lynn’s Review: I was pleasantly surprised by Brotherhood of the Blade. Granted, my expectations weren’t very high, but still, I enjoyed it. I was never a huge fan of Grey in the [easyazon_link identifier=”B00O3HCMV6″ locale=”US” tag=”chapbrea05-20″]Outlander[/easyazon_link] books. I never found him very interesting. When he “married” Claire at the end of Echo (or was […]
Lynn’s Review: I can wrap up my feelings about Etiquette & Espionage in one word: meh. The elements I’m interested in where there. But still, meh. I even stopped the audio during the big climatic fight scene at the end because I just didn’t care. Etiquette & Espionage is: steam punk historical has a plucky […]
Julie and I have decided that since loads of other bloggers have posted reviews of Winter, we’d take a different approach. We totally stole Bookworm Brandee’s Blogger Chick Chat idea, and went with a chat instead. Spoilers, obvs. And following our usual pattern, Julie’s chatting is in purple. My chatting is in blue. Excuse the […]
Lynn’s Review: I had moderately high hopes for Storm. After all, I did purchase it. And nominate it for a book club read. But sadly, it didn’t really pan out. I started out loving Storm. Well, maybe loving is a bit strong. It was more I found Storm hilarious. Though, I’m guessing not as the […]

Lynn’s Review: I once watched an interview with an actor discussing character shipping. The basic gist of the interview was this: We (readers, or in this case, watchers of TV shows) don’t want couples to actually get together. What we want is the prospect of a couple getting together. The flirting. The foreplay. Once the […]
Lynn’s Review: A book club selection + a shelf love book is a great combo. This means I can at least say I read one book off my shelf this month. Plus, a joint review! The main premise here is a messy family story, more than a romance. Set on a bio-dynamic winery. Georgia has […]
