Review: The English Wife by Lauren Willig

Review: The English Wife by Lauren Willig

My Review:

“…taking a sip of her tea, which had been brewed too weak. Americans, no matter how they aped English manners, no matter how they imported hampers from Fortnum’s, failed to understand tea.”

One of my favorite quotes. As Americans we have no business brewing tea. This country was built on coffee. And beer. Feel the need to stick your pinky up in the air like a flag, do it while drinking…

Review: The Case of the Deadly Doppelganger by Lucy Banks

Review: The Case of the Deadly Doppelganger by Lucy Banks

My Review:

You like cozy mystery, yes?

This is the second book in the Dr Ribero’s Agency Of The Supernatural. They are like, how the Americans say, Keystone Cops, yes?

My apologies to the author for that really bad impression of Dr Ribero.

This story finds our gang teaming up with Dr Ribero’s arch nemesis, Larry Higgins, proprietor of a rival agency that is loaded with all of the latest…

Review: Never Be Alone by Paige Dearth

Review: Never Be Alone by Paige Dearth

My review:

If you’re looking for a feel good story of surviving teenage homeless, look elsewhere. Never Be Alone is truthful, brutal and unapologetically raw. It forces us to confront that which makes a lot of us uncomfortable, kids doing what they need to do to survive on the streets.

Joon is our 8 year old MC who is put into the foster care system when her parents die in a car accident. She is…

This is what running out of shelf space looks like.

Finally moved my room upstairs so I could have a dedicated room for my library. Now, I just need more shelves!

Book Review: Autumn by David Moody

Book Review: Autumn by David Moody

My Review: 11am Tues Sept 99% dead Okay. I didn’t realize that this was previously released for free online and made into a series and a movie. If this was published today, I would say that it was unoriginal and offered nothing new other than a glimpse into the lives of some survivors. Seeing that it’s more than ten years old, it was probably fresh back then. Sometimes we read these stories and…
