• 4 books-Mini Reviews

  I was going to put all 4 titles but it looked clunky. Now here’s 4 books I read over April that were good but I didn’t feel like they warranted one big review each. Dangerous Play by Emma Kress Now this teaches me not to judge a book by its cover or title or summary.…

• Reality Check Review

  Since I so enjoyed Calonita’s Secrets of My Hollywood Life, I decided to check out her stand alone novel, Reality Check. While Secrets starred Kaitlin, an actress who had been working on tv and movies since she was 5 years old, the protagonist here is Charlie Reed, a regular girl who waitresses and goes to…

• Book Highlight: My Most Excellent Year

  I put this book under book highlights because I am so biasedly incapable of doing an objective review of this. This book by Steve Kluger is just wholesomely wonderful. Not in the sacherrine way but in a this is how life and people should be. Characters are everything to me when I read, and I…

No prose, which makes it a very fast read as the characters swap gossip, get into miscommunications and get sexy. The romances all share small-town girls falling for outsider city boys,…

• If you like this, try. . .

  I decided to take a little break from my “Favorite book (insert genre) suggestions” and try this. These are books I couldn’t fit under one particular category nor do I love them them enough to write a paragraph of why one should give it try.
