Something I honestly never understood and still don't understand: readers' obsession with turning books into movies
My favourite book mum
A special treat for Mother's Day
(Un)Lucky Valley series – Not so unlucky
A review of a very good series of paranormal cozies
Redeemer of Shadows – Gripping to the last drop
A timeless love story and an action packed dark paranormal/urban fantasy page turner.
The Fourth Power – All about the cake
No, my most recent read was not a cookbook. In fact, it was Michelle M. Pillow's third Order Of Magic PWF novel, The Fourth Power, which tells Heather's story. (You can read my reviews of Lorna's and Vivien's stories by following the links.) What's the deal with the cake, then? Simple: Heather loves cake and... Continue Reading →
Hexing With a Chance of Tornadoes – Worth the wait
When Cloudy With A Chance Of Withcraft came out, in February (you can read my review here), I was very much looking forward to the second of Mandy M. Roth's Grimm Cove series, as I knew it would tell Dana's story, and of the trio (with Poppy and Marcy), she was, by far, my favourite.... Continue Reading →
Midlife Fairy Hunter – Curses, fairies, and Robert
It was a quiet reading week, for me, but the end of it is bringing the best: the second Forty Proof novel, by Shannon Mayer. If you haven't read my review of the first of the series, you can find it here, for this will be about the one which has come out yesterday (23... Continue Reading →
Reader’s Life – Reset = Hell!
Don't say it. I know I've been pretty quiet over the last week and I will not apologise for it. I've been continuing my reading of the Hot Damned series, of which I am currently (as of 19 April at 5 PM) in the ninth book out of 13. Nothing much to say about it,... Continue Reading →
A Bad Day For Sunshine – Riveting and real
A new release from a favoured author (if you're curious, the full list of my favourites is here) is an occasion to suspend everything and simply drown myself in the words, get lost in the story. Especially if the story is, like A Bad Day For Sunshine, a riveting mystery which includes many other intriguing... Continue Reading →
Full circle
I'm a bookworm. Thus, I need to read books to escape, function, relax, centre myself, etc. I know that this sounds like a pitch for Bookworms Anonymous or for a book club, but it isn't. It's a thought that came to my mind commenting on a post in a beloved author's group. When I conclude... Continue Reading →
Reader’s Life – Semi break
Don't blame me too much. I know I'm quiet on the blogging front. It's not that what I read isn't good, all the contrary! It's only that of Hot Damned and Jade Calhoun, I've already written. I am at the sixth book of both series, of which I alternate two and two (two Jade, two... Continue Reading →
Third Time’s a Charm – A rare chance at closure
Letting go is something difficult when you've been carrying a torch for 20 years. Yet, this is what Vivien Stone has to do in Third Time's A Charm, the second of Michelle M. Pillow's Order of Magic series, which just came out and which I've read over the last 24 hours (and a bit). As... Continue Reading →
