***This is a review of an upcoming release. This title is scheduled to be released on May 3, 2022.*** Look at that cover, y’all. Doesn’t it just scream “I am a light buttercream confection?” Well, just like The GUNCLE, this more than a little misleading. Amy, a semicloseted queer baker and bartender in mid-2010s Oklahoma,… Continue reading Week Forty: Queerly Beloved

Week Thirty-Two: The Match
***This is a review of an upcoming release. This title is scheduled to be released on March 15, 2022.*** I picked up a Harlan Coben book on a whim sometime in the summer of 2005. I was early for a doctor appointment, and there was a Borders—a Borders!—across the street, so I popped in and… Continue reading Week Thirty-Two: The Match
Week Twenty—Six: Duke, Actually
I had planned another book for this week’s review, but I got sick instead. The symptoms were similar enough to Omicron symptoms that I did get tested; results aren’t back till Sunday but a rapid test today was negative, so I’m going to stay isolated till Sunday, but I’m pretty sure that it’s just a… Continue reading Week Twenty—Six: Duke, Actually
Week Twenty-Four: Hench
So, this was not a book that I would have ever chosen for myself to read. I would have picked it up, read the blurb, said “wow…that’s clever…” and put it right back. No mysteries to solve, no couple to reunite, no werewolves, no vampires, no witches, no one on the run? No, thank you.… Continue reading Week Twenty-Four: Hench
Sunday Post: 12/19/2021
Hello, my lovelies. So, when we meet again, Christmas will be but a memory. I know it’s a cliche, but wow…this late part of the year seems to go faster than all the other parts, doesn’t it? I do have my shopping all done, with one last-minute stocking stuffer bought yesterday. Hoping that Amazon holds… Continue reading Sunday Post: 12/19/2021

TTT: Top Winter Picks
This week’s topic is Ten Books on My Winter 2022 To-Read List. I’ve been blowing through my hold limits at the library with all of these. The one I’m MOST excited about? That would be number one, The Match by Harlan Coben. I wasn’t sure that we would get a sequel to The Boy from… Continue reading TTT: Top Winter Picks
Week Twenty-Two: Never
Flawed…but pretty good. I do not know how long it’s been since I read an 800+ page book, but I am out of practice. This one took me forever, and I only persisted because I love Ken Follett so much. I read The Pillars of the Earth in 2010, when I bought a copy for… Continue reading Week Twenty-Two: Never
Sunday Post: 12/05/21
Hello, my lovelies. This is the eleventh installment of The Sunday Post and as I typed the date, I paused at the year, not sure if I have been doing ‘2021’ or just ‘21’. So I went back to look and it turns out that 5 times it was ‘2021’ and five times it was… Continue reading Sunday Post: 12/05/21
Week Twenty-One: Beach Read
I said a few weeks ago that I was concerned about this one. I had read a couple reviews that painted it as a bit of a non-traditional rom-com, maybe one that doesn’t hit all the expected beats, and doesn’t end quite the way one would expect. That made me a little nervous because I… Continue reading Week Twenty-One: Beach Read
