***This is a review of an upcoming release. This title is scheduled to be released on May 26, 2022.*** I really enjoyed this book, but it was shockingly, unrepentantly dark, and that might mean that it’s not for everyone. The cover belies the seriousness with which the subject matter is treated, making this another book… Continue reading Week Forty-Five: An Unlikely Match

Hi. I’m Lori, and I am really just a girl who loves books. Reading them, reading about them, shopping for them, talking about them, thinking about them. Oh, also ice cream, rice krispy treats, animals, and naps. Lots of naps.

Hello, my lovelies. I’m going to share something that I shared on my Facebook earlier this week, so apologies to the two of you who I am Facebook friends with for the dupe. Also, if you want to be Facebook friends, hit me up at facebook.com/loripiper. I’m super liberal and rant as much about politics… Continue reading Sunday Post: May 15, 2022
Week Forty-Four: Something Wilder
***This is a review of an upcoming release.

LTB: Making friends through blogging

BBH: Book Tours
Billy himself @ Coffee Addicted Writer has this week’s question— Have you ever participated in a book tour? I have not. Honestly, I would not even be sure where to start! I have been reading and reviewing *some* arcs, but that is kind of the farthest I have ventured into the business of marketing and… Continue reading BBH: Book Tours
TTT: Bookish Professions
This week’s Top Ten is Bookish Characters (these could be readers, writers, authors, librarians, professors, etc.) I recognize that my inclusion of Caroline Merit is a little off the mark, since she is a vampire, and Sentinel of her Vampire House. But, she was a grad student when she was turned, and to this day,… Continue reading TTT: Bookish Professions

Week Forty-Three: Riley Thorne and the Blast From the Past
Y’all, I feel like I talk about Lucy Score more than I talk about ANYTHING, including my dog and my mama. But there is a reason for that, and that is that she can *write*. Her books are steamy, well-plotted, funny, real. Her characters are sympathetic, and the HEAs feel earned. Every book of hers… Continue reading Week Forty-Three: Riley Thorne and the Blast From the Past
TTT: One-Word Reviews
This week’s topic comes to us from Susan @ Bloggin’ ’bout Books: May 3: One-Word Reviews for the Last Ten Books I Read OK, before I start, one disclaimer.
