Bluebird is science fiction that includes the following: a female protagonist, two love stories of which one is f/f and one f/m, a spaceship, smuggling, a bar fight, political intrigue, badass librarians, secret identities, found and biological family, rebellion, a heist, major angst, chase scenes, and jewelry. I could not one-click this thing fast enough, and presumably most of you will not actually read this review because you have also one-clicked and are already reading … Continue reading Bluebird by Ciel Pierlot →

All the Feels by Olivia Dade is $2.99! This came out last November and one of my dear friends (Hi Tildy!!) and bookstore manager absolutely loved this one. I haven’t read this one, but have enjoyed Dade’s other contemporary romances.

I so very much enjoyed The Astronaut and the Star, a romance novel with ADHD representation, bisexual representation, and a lot of happy nerd things. It wasn’t a perfect book, but it was a fun romance with great characters. The problems with the book are easier to describe than the charm of the character interactions. Suffice to say that watching these people talk to each other and navigate various interactions was a treat. Reggie is … Continue reading The Astronaut and the Star by Jen Comfort →

The Siren by Katherine St. John is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, like all of today’s sales. I know there was some discussion about the KDDs page and for me, it’s showing a lot books that I’ve mentioned on Get Rec’d, but they aren’t at sale price. Bummer. This one is a mystery novel. Elyse loved St. John’s first book, but be warned that despite the fun colorful cover, these are pretty dark.

This month’s Kickass Women doubles as a review of the graphic novel Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts, by Rebecca Hall (Grade: A). This nonfiction book describes Hall’s efforts to uncover the history of women who led slave rebellions – women who often went unnamed and erased by history. Dr. Hall, who qualifies as a kickass woman in her own right, also describes the psychological toll of doing this research, and the way … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Sarah, Lily, Abigail, and Amba →

This season is finally, finally over. Last week we learned that despite being in love with Rachel and Gabby (and convincing Gabby to stay), Clayton still can’t get over Susie, who left because he slept with the other women. Pudding is pretty sure this is going to end in tears. Mine. Spring is here (well Wisconsin spring) so she’s enjoying having her window open so she can yell at people. The garbage man. The mailman. … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S26 E12: The Most Dramatic…Whatever →
