Books on Sale: The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows by Olivia Waite & More

RECOMMENDED: The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows by Olivia Waite is $1.99! Carrie and Tara wrote a joint review and gave this one a B+:

This book does a lot of things right. The character work is deep and brilliant, the historical context is plentiful and guides readers along even if they know nothing, and the writing is so beautifully done. Like I mentioned above, the overall pace of the story didn’t bother me, just the pace of the romance. If that would have been sped up, this would be a near perfect book for me. I still recommend it, but you need to go into this expecting the slowest of slow burns.

HaBO: Earlier STEM Contemporary Romance

This HaBO is from PamG, who wants to find this romance: I read this book some time in the last decade and I don’t think it was older than that. I remember no names associated with it; it’s as though I was mind-wiped by aliens, but I’d really like to read it again. The male protagonist is a genius professor/researcher known for his unpleasant attitude, antisocial tendencies, and his brilliant research. His boss/department head wants … Continue reading HaBO: Earlier STEM Contemporary Romance

Hunt on Dark Waters by Katee Robert

Hunt on Dark Waters

This is my first Katee Robert book and it won’t be my last. I’m already desperate for the next in the series! Evelyn is a witch with a penchant for theft. Raised by Bunny, her grandmother, she learnt a very particular worldview and the morals that go with it. Those morals include allowing theft if someone is rich, or rude, or has just hurt your feelings, which Lizzie, her situationship, just did. Evelyn spends the … Continue reading Hunt on Dark Waters by Katee Robert

He has on a two-tone shit of white and pink and is wearing a pink bowtie. He has on salmon pants and socks with brown loafers. A man stands next to him, holding an apple. He has dark brown skin and a similar curly, floppy hairstyle. He is wearing a light blue pullover sweater and white slacks. He also has green socks and brown shoes.

It’s time to look at covers we like! Cover illustration by Colin Verdi Amanda: Here for detailed illustrated covers of more than just two people and a nondescript background! Sneezy: Couldn’t agree more, Amanda!!! The light is so warm and the plants so lush. I absolutely LOVE that detail of the hand on the left caressing the hand on the right and fiddling with the ring. It’s just breath taking! Sarah: The jewelry detail is … Continue reading Cover Awe: Sparkly and Sunny

Lightning Review

Night of the Witch by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis

Night of the Witch

TW: Violence, violence to animals, death of parent Night of the Witch is part historical fantasy and part paranormal romance. It’s the first book in a series, but doesn’t really end on a cliff hanger and the romance gets a full arc by the end, so it’s fine as a standalone. I enjoyed the supernatural element of this book, but I really enjoyed the historical aspect as it was a time period I hadn’t read … Continue reading Night of the Witch by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis

Movie Review: Slotherhouse

Slotherhouse has no business being as fun as it is. I would never have dreamed that I’d so very much enjoy watching a puppet murder a bunch of people. With a ton of endearing characters played by actors who fully commit to seeming terrified by a stuffed animal, and a focus on sisterhood in all its possibilities and limitations as well as responsible animal ownership, the messages were heartwarming which, again, I did not expect, … Continue reading Movie Review: Slotherhouse
