Lynn’s Review: I’m having a difficult time deciding how I feel about The Marriage of Opposites. It’s been days since I finished listening to the audio, and I’m still not sure if I liked it. The Marriage of Opposites is a fictionalization of the life of Rachael Monzano de Pissarro, the mother of impressionist artist […]
Julie’s Review: I really enjoyed the Cassie Scot series and was happy to devour it as part of the author’s promotional tours. So I jumped when given the opportunity to review this audiobook spin-off novel with a side character in the original series. While the original series is a 4-star read for me, this spin-off […]
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 books. I never found him very interesting. When he “married” Claire at the end of Echo (or was it MOBY, I can’t […]
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’s Review: Defects is a great dystopia full of action and betrayal and psychic abilities. I loved that this book doesn’t follow the trope of our heroine finding out she’s something special and taking a long time to accept her new existence. This story drops us into the Dream Traveler’s world, where everyone has special […]
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 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 […]
Julie’s Review: I’ve had Runes on my to-read for a while and was happy to receive the audio for review since that meant I would actually get to read it (since just about all of my reading is on audiobooks on my commute these days). I like Raine, she’s a bookworm and also a Supernatural […]
Julie’s Review: I started reading Chameleon shortly after finishing the first book, Ripple. I loved the Ripple audio, but at the time had the trilogy ebooks and decided to try reading an ebook again. My schedule just wasn’t working out, with only reading a chapter or two on weekends, so I was happy to get […]
Lynn’s Review: Warning: If you are planning a cruise, skip reading The Living til afterwards. Trust me on that. The Living by Matt de la Pena is about a collection of characters on a cruise ship, trying to survive after an earthquake sets off a massive tsunami right in the path of the […]
