book review || Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly

video review || Raid My Shelves 6: Reading Vlog — BOTM Books

Right out of the gate, holy crap this was cute and sweet and pure, with a solid helping of spice too.

I fell in love with London and Dahlia, each of their personalities really sprung off the page, their voices were well distinguished, and they had great banter and chemistry. The pacing was solid when it came to their romance, balancing between a whirlwind vacation fling and a serious start to something real, which really impressed me.

With the setting of a cooking show, I knew I’d be hooked by all the food talk and I was! The fun adventures they took and the little moments which occurred between them were tender and sweet, all had me squealing. However, I will say, as far as stakes go, this didn’t quite hold up. Contestants disappeared and I wasn’t sure when or how it happened a lot of the time and when one of our MCs is in danger of being kicked off, the results would be stated in a very anti-climatic way.

The handling of London’s identity was well done. Even when another contestant misgenders them, it isn’t explicitly stated on the page! Their father wasn’t accepting of their identity, which did cause some heart-aching moments, but thankfully, didn’t turn into an angsty, dramatic arc that took away from the main story. The respect given to London as a character was fantastic.

I really liked Dahlia as well. Chaotic, bubbly, high on life, she was just entertaining to read about and was so, so protective of London. She just wants to find new happiness for herself but is terrified of disappointing the people she cares about. The discussion with her mom seemed so healthy and wholesome, particularly after the third act conflict. While that drama did make sense and I could understand where both side were coming from, it did seem a little over the top.

The grand gesture had me swooning. I can’t wait to see more from this author.

I matched all my favorite Taylor Swift songs to books for the @erasreadathon. In this reading vlog, we go back to December, where sparks flew as I found FIVE new faves. I was enchanted to read eight books in thirteen days as I built my ideal Eras setlist.

Watching this rn. I love that fictionfates calls Gideon “life and death,” Harrow “purgatory,” and Nona as a “rebirth”

I’ve been thinking lately about which book is my favorite. I said that Harrow was when I was talking with a friend, but right now I really don’t know if I have a favorite. I still want to re-read through them a few times, but I think I like them all kinda equally. The storytelling is unique enough that they feel like their own thing. Reading each book forward made me appreciate the ones before more. And re-reading older books made me appreciate the ones after!

book review || Cackle by Rachel Harrison

video review || Halloweekend Readathon — Reading Vlog 213: 5 books in 4 weekends

The. fucking. vibes! ✨

From where this started, I thought it would be a like, but that ending made it an official love. There is not a lot of plot, it’s slow and meandering, but damn, I was so drawn in and enveloped in this world every time I picked it up.

I want to liken this book to Circe or Eleanor Oliphant. It’s so character-focused and revolves around Annie’s life. I rooted for Annie to stand up for herself, to take charge of her life, to take the energy she was wasting on a man and use it for herself. Sophie was both a good and bad influence on her, in equally wonderful ways. (Sophie is also living the dream life) Her character was also well explored, slowly peeling back layers to learn about all she’s endured and gone through to live her perfect life, but she still needs to learn new things sometimes.

As I said, the vibes were immaculate. Harrison made this sleepy, small town jump off the page and seduce me with its perfection. Similar to the Starless Sea, this brought together all the best things in life, but in a fall setting. Occasionally got a bit spooky, but I definitely wouldn’t call this a horror book. I’d go with magical realism, instead.

A short, easy read that I sort of want to re-read every October now.
