This is my personal blog; the vast majority of my posts are book reviews, and of those, a good two-thirds are genre romance novels, the rest mostly mysteries, with a few non-fiction books sprinkled in. I also occasionally review movies or tv series.

Version 1.0.0 Version 1.0.0 Version 1.0.0 Last month, Caz published a review for this trilogy, and I was intrigued enough to grab the first one. I eventually read it, and then the other two in quick succession. And yet… Beware: PTSD for...
For reasons, I ended up watching season 1 of “Off Campus”. Watcher beware: loss of a parent to cancer (in the past); rape drugs, rape off-screen, and references to rape culture on-screen; drinking; domestic violence; abusive parent;...
I want to apologize (again) for the dead silence in the blog for the past…almost three months? (Yikes!), and to promise to do better, but things are hard and too much right now, and I really don’t know what will happen in a few hours,...
It’s been more than a minute since I’ve read anything by Courtney Milan; it’s not that I don’t have several of her books in ye old TBR, but that I save her stuff for cases of emergency, and then they get buried. But here’s Miz Wendy’s...
So, it being Pride, here’s another queer story. Fuck the bigots. Beware: death; loss; grief; the horrors of war; death of an infant; PTSD; explicit sex between consenting adults. “Hen Fever” by Olivia Waite Even though this is a short...
When I reviewed “Village Fool” earlier this year, I had planned on saving this novella for a reading mojo emergency, but you know what? It’s June, and June is Pride–fuck the fucking bigots. Beware: asshole parents; homophobia; PTSD from...
The cover caught my eye, then the blurb–for all that it’s concise almost to the point of being off-putting–clinched the deal when it mentioned our lady sleuth’s age, so of course I requested an ARC. Which promptly got buried in the TBR...
It’s June, and June is Pride. Fuck the bigots, let us hear it for queer stories with happy endings. And if a few xenophobes get their innards in a twist over it, all the better. Beware: racism and xenophobia; drinking to dull pain;...
Another month, another Game Changers review; with this, we’re almost done, and what a ride has it been! Beware: rape culture in ice hockey and sports generally; widespread misogyny in sports, and homophobia in professional hockey;...
Not my usual fare, by far, but this is what happens when you turn 60 and realize just how little you actually move on a daily basis: the lure of an easy and gentle routine that will help you keep moving a bit better for a bit longer....
As regular readers of this blog know, I’ve been trying to catch up with this series for a few years; I was hoping to be ready for this year’s release, but what with one thing and another, I’m still a couple of books behind. So, here we...
Brought to you by the second part of this wonderful review of C.S. Harris’ Why Kill the Innocent, by Sonomalass (which you should absolutely go read right now, I’ll wait), wherein she says, “So my strongest reaction…was how well the...
I am a weak, weak person: dangle a librarian protagonist, and a would-be protagonist in a historical romance who is not a duke/marquis/earl/viscount somewhere near me, and I’ll jump on that book. Hard. Sadly, shortly after the reading...
I have been waiting for this book for what seems *ages*, and I’m delighted to have gotten an ARC. Sleep, who needs sleep. Beware: suicide, classism, sexism; fairly detailed descriptions of a decomposing body; spoilers for previous A Rip...
