On Reviews and What Makes Them Useful
I’m often frustrated by superficial reviews that don’t articulate the reasoning for an opinion about a book.

HaBO: Harlequin Where the Hero is Being Hunted
This HaBO is from Eddie, who is hoping to find this romance: I am losing my mind trying to remember the title of a romantic suspense book I read sometime in the 2010s. I have a very clear picture of the physical book and some wildly specific plot points, but the title and author completely escape me. The Physical Book & Publisher Clues: I am almost positive it was a category romance maybe Silhouette/Harlequin. It … Continue reading HaBO: Harlequin Where the Hero is Being Hunted

Book Review
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
Yesteryear was one of my most anticipated reads of 2026 so it’s such a bummer that it fell apart for me. I think this book had the opportunity to be a really interesting commentary on the Trad Wife movement and on White Christian womanhood, but it took a turn that felt frankly kind of lazy. Natalie Heller Mills is a very successful trad wife influencer. She lives on a farm with her husband and six … Continue reading Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke

Archangel’s Eternity by Nalini Singh
This isn’t a review. If it were, it would be a paragraph long: This book reads like a very long conclusion which would be boring and meaningless to someone who hasn’t read the series at all. Those who have devoured the series like I have will likely be as ecstatic and thankful as I am. And those who have enjoyed at least some of this series will likely also find a lot of catharsis and … Continue reading Archangel’s Eternity by Nalini Singh

Hollywood Hookup by Christy Swift
I listened to Hollywood Hookup on a recent plane ride, and while the tone of the narrative wasn’t really for me, I can say that the structure of the book lends itself really well to audio. Josie Days is a makeup artist on a hit musical sci-fi show starring five hot guys who are sequel fodder. They’re doing a charity celebrity date contest with said five guys and for hand-wavy reasons Josie gets roped in … Continue reading Hollywood Hookup by Christy Swift
Kickass Women in History: Emma Tenayuca
Emma Tenayuca was a labor organizer in Texas who is best known for leading a strike of pecan shellers in 1938. Workers called her “La Pasionaria“ which means “Passionflower.” From a young age, she survived violence and imprisonment in her quest to help workers get better working conditions and higher wages. Tenayuca was born on December 21, 1916, and I know all of you December birthday people will identify with her plight – born too … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Emma Tenayuca
