An Easy Death by Charlaine Harris
Content warning: Violence including gun stuff This is not an objective review because the Sookie Stackhouse novels are a foundational element of my psyche. I am positioned to love anything and everything that Charlaine Harris writes. That being said, I think I can make a pretty good case for why reading this book may be a good idea for the right reader – with a definite caveat in #4. I. A completely fresh book-world. This … Continue reading An Easy Death by Charlaine Harris

But what I do remember has my head spinning. There is a husband and his wife. He may have a title. They have been married for a while and it’s kinda stale. The interesting thing is that they are both pirates. Each wears a mask. Somehow they … Continue reading HaBO: Couple Leads Secret, Separate Lives as Pirates

Contemporaries and a Historical
RECOMMENDED: The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang is $2.99! (This could be a leftover KDD from the weekend.) I’m jealous of those who get to read this for the first time. We had a wonderful guest squee of this and it was my favorite read of 2018:
I truly loved this book. Loved. It made me feel like a champagne bubble – all fizzy and light. When I think of all the magical feelings romance gives its readers, I will forever think of this book.
