It has been two long years since the publication of the first book in this series. I wrote rapturously about the first installment and in every single trawl of upcoming releases for the last two years, I have looked for this sequel. Finally, it is here. Needless to say, I devoured it in a day. A delightful day! This story picks up three weeks after the end of The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies.

To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose is $2.99! This book was recommended in our end of the year podcasts last year. It seems to be well-reviewed and has won a Nebula. Have you read this one?

Sarah: Really? That’s awesome! Elyse: It’s very much a “get the old gang together for one last heist” story and it’s funny and just generally fun … Continue reading Books That Are a Really Fun Time
I started this book expecting the usual historical mystery fare just with older leads (42!), but no. From the start, it was clear that this novel was something different entirely. I’m going to try to keep my superlatives under control, but just know that I made Good Book Noise from page 1! This novel is divided into three parts, and each part focuses on a different adventurous rescue mission. One overarching plot ties the three … Continue reading The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies by Alison Goodman
