Book Review

Claiming the Princess by Charis Michaels

Claiming the Princess

This series focuses on exiled members of the French royal family, and this is Princess Danielle’s book. Not that she knows she’s a princess at the start. At that stage, she’s just Dani, a 22-year-old ‘village girl’ from Ivy Hill, Kent, who lives with her adoptive parents. She’s forthright, passionate about her community and looked to as a leader by that community despite her gender and age. It’s still a pretty quiet life though. That … Continue reading Claiming the Princess by Charis Michaels

Cover Snark: Baby Load?

One night stand, I assume she gets pregnant with twins…where is the fifth member?? Lara: Crucifix dude on her shoulder whispering naughty suggestions could be number 5? A party to the decision-making. Sarah: Wait. How do her arms work? She’s got two toddlers and an artist’s palette in one arm…how? … Continue reading Cover Snark: Baby Load?

Whatcha Reading? October 2025, Part Two

Featured image for Whatcha Reading? October 2025, Part Two

Welcome back! Here’s what we’re reading right now: Shana: I just finished The Great Misfortune of Stella Sedgwick by S. Isabelle. I read this entirely because of the gorgeous cover and luckily it was solid, if predictable, with a very feminist vibe. I’m glad I gave it a chance even though it’s YA with a love triangle, two things I tend to avoid. Lara: I’ve started reading for my project on self- and indie-pubbed historical … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? October 2025, Part Two

Ooops: No Podcast This Week

Smart Podcast, Trashy Books

I goofed! There won’t be an episode this week. I apologize! I will return to my regular schedule on October 31st. I swear, the reason is because the expression of time having to be in numbers is insulting to me personally. (I got dates mixed up. It’s so embarrassing). I’m sorry about that!
