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.

Because I’m nothing if not stubborn, I’m determined to complete SuperWendy’s TBR Challenge this year–even if I have to bend the rules (read: cheat) more than a little in order to get there. So, for starters, this is my entry for...
All you need to do, if you are medically able, is to commit a couple of hours every couple of months, to become a regular blood donor. To remain a regular blood donor, you’ll ideally get your vaccines immediately after a donation, so you...
A while back I saw the trailer for this movie, and was intrigued (Andrew Garfield, Florence Pugh, of course I was intrigued!); I finally got to watch it via streaming sometime in January. Alas, my brain stopped cooperating with me...
I’m not crying, you are crying–and also, I just inhaled a book. After literal months of not being able to read. Beware: third person, present tense, single point of view (this may not be your cuppa, but I swear it works here!); anxiety...
So it’s been mumble weeks since I’ve posted; partly because it’s been as long since I’ve read anything, and partly because I have been in a depression spiral that rivals some of my darkest times. Unlike our lovely friend in the comic...
I am writing this mostly for people who may be coming around sometime in late 2026 or maybe even early 2027, when the release of the second season of the show is imminent; most everyone else who’s online at all right now has heard about...
It’s been a month since I posted my review of the first book, so let us get on with the Game Changers book series reviews; please note: if you have already watched the Crave adaptation of the same title (trailer at the end of this post),...
I hope everyone knows by now that I’m very much a fan of this series, and therefore is not surprised I had preordered this story–or by the fact that between the reading slump and ::gestures at the world:: I’m reviewing it over a month...
In the spirit of avoidance, I came across the trailer for this movie on YouTube, and look, PERIOD COSTUMES. No one really expected me not to watch it, right? So, this movie started with a young adult book (When You Were Mine, by Rebecca...
Back in late September last year, I talked briefly about this film at the end of this post; I mentioned wanting it to do well in the U.S. so that it would be picked up for streaming somewhere (footnote 1). As amazon picked it up, I have...
Because I’m nothing if not predictable: of course I had to watch this one after all the noise about Heated Rivalry I haven’t Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston, the genre romance novel that this movie is based on (footnote 1), so...
As the world continues to go to hell, I keep reaching for comfort reads that are also generally undemanding. (It doesn’t help that I’m struggling to write my TBR Challenge review for this month.) Beware: drinking and getting drunk; a bit...
I will confess for the record, that I slept on Rachel Reid’s Game Changers genre romance series when it was first published; it wasn’t until the trailer for the “Heated Rivalry” show (below) was released on YouTube that I became...
My introduction to the author, and I blame Caz’s review of the prequel novella for my adding yet another author with a large backlist to my TBR cordillera of doom.. Beware: violent homophobia as part of worldbuilding; some violence and...
Things have been so bad/weird, reading-wise, I had forgotten entirely that I had been offered this ARC at some point this year. Beware: suicide; narcissist ex; once again equating evil with mental illness; swearing; sex on page; white...
