Note to self: Don’t Drink and Antique! Bookworm, an all-new college workplace, second chance romance with a bookworm heroine and a romance novel hero from USA Today bestselling author Katana Collins is now available! That’s how you wake up hungover, having spent your entire life savings on a first edition of Pride and Prejudice… that your cat just peed all over. To make matters worse, you also drunkenly emailed every Ivy League university last night and sold the nearly priceless cat-pee book to Dartmouth. In my defense, I was celebrating finally getting my masters degree in library science with a focus in book restoration from Oxford University. And let’s be honest, I’m sort of awesome when drunk. I not only leveraged a book sale for a profit, but I also talked my way into an eight-week freelance gig restoring books in my hometown of New Hampshire at the Dartmouth library. What’s less awesome? Realizing the Dartmouth English Literary professor who hired me is ...

Review: Garnet Flats - Book #3 The Edens Series - Devney Perry - July 2022 I was in two minds about this book as I have enjoyed the first two books and Book #2 Juniper Hill is still my favorite so far in the series, but I felt that Talia's story was a bit of a letdown, and also her character frustrated me. Looking at all the siblings, Talia even though she is a twin to Lyla ended up with the qualities of acting as a hardarse and she is a bit of a doormat personality with an I am Miss Independent - Hear Me Roar. Her character frustrated me in this book as it was like, stop acting like a spoiled brat and also get over yourself at the same time. It wasn't just her that frustrated me as Foster Madden - I loved his character but the reason he married Talia's friend and was with her for seven years - it screamed weakminded to me and it was like all the characters in this particular book didn't want to step on anyone's toes and cause conflict or make waves - even the side ...

Review: Lyrics of a Small Town - Abbi Glines - August 2021 Have you got an author that you know will always kick you out of your reading slump? An author that you know that no matter what happens, you will always enjoy their books? For me, one of those authors is Abbi Glines, and on this particular morning. I tried at least two books before this one and both just weren't grabbing me and by this time, I was feeling slightly frustrated as I knew I wanted to read something. So, I did what I do when I feel slumpish is grabbed an Abbi Glines novel and you know what - it hit the spot and was another great read.

Review: Daughter of Mine - Megan Miranda - April 2024 An author that I do find a hit/miss for me but when her books are hits, they do suck you in and Daughter of Mine was one of those titles. The book starts with a funeral and a car being dragged from the lake that had been there for years. Hazel's dad has died and she is returning home to Mirror Lake. A place she left years ago and never looked back as she has felt like she doesn't fit in. Especially since her ex-best friend married the one brother who hates her and constantly reminds her that she isn't family and the other brother who doesn't like to rock the boat. Hazel has left the old family home and her brothers aren't too happy about it, one is already filing to contest her Dad's will. During the clean-up, some old photos are found in the attic and then a second car is found in the lake. The two cars though as we learn relate to Hazel's family one of them being her mother's car -the same one in w...

Review: Electric Idol - Book #2 Dark Olympus Series - Katee Robert - January 2022 This particular series has been on my list to read for a couple of years as I do enjoy stories based around the gods and goddesses and mostly Greek history. I even studied as part of my degree in Humanities. This series is a darker side of the Gods and Goddesses and thinking about it probably the closest as we have read that most of them weren't nice people especially those in the inner circles who held most of the power. In Electric Idol, the start is a party where women are introduced and paraded around the new Zeus aka the former Perseus as he needs a new bride and that female will become the new Hera. In Dark Olympus, we learn some of the roles are inherited and others are born into. Demeter is showing off her daughter Psyche as a potential bride for Zeus. Psyche isn't interested and would rather be in the shadows. I also loved her character, she was a favorite of mine and one that I felt I co...
