Julie’s Review: If you want to read a book that will destroy you from the inside out, read November 9. But really, there was so much right and oh so much wrong with this book. I LOVED the banter. I loved the dialogue – COHO is the best with dialogue! I loved that the book […]
Lynn’s Review: In the battle between zombies and unicorns, I am decidedly pro-zombies. I enjoyed more of the zombie stories than the unicorn stories. This surprised me, as I don’t usually go for “scary” stories. I definitely prefer my zombies with a side of romance and/or humor. One of the few zombie movies I’ve enjoyed is […]
Lynn’s Review: I’ve been in a book funk lately. Nothing I’ve read has been horrible; nothing has been shout from the rooftops exciting. I was musing this over recently: is there something off with me? But then I figured it out. It’s not me. It’s the books. I read two books in the past 5 […]
Lynn’s Review: Between the Shadowhunters TV show and Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, I’ve been rather immersed in the Shadowhunter world lately. And I’m definitely not complaining! It really is one of my favorite worlds to visit. And Shadowhunter Academy brings Simon and his nerdy t-shirts to life. These ten tales are written by Cassandra […]
Lynn’s Review: Lady Midnight is another story in the continuing saga of the Shadowhunters by Cassandra Clare. This time out, we learn about Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn. Parabatai. Best friends. And maybe a little bit more. I have mixed feelings about Lady Midnight. Parts I did thoroughly enjoy. And parts that I’m still confused […]
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 […]

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 […]
Lynn’s Review: I wanted to review a “holiday” book this year, but needless to say time got away from me, and I didn’t have a chance to finish until this week. I won this book, along some others from Kim at Read Your Writes Book Reviews. Thanks, Kim, for the holiday reads! I thought, since […]
