Dearest Josephine by Caroline George

Dearest Josephine

Content warnings: Lots and lots of grief and loss, also death of a secondary character Dearest Josephine is an epistolary novel about grief and coming of age, disguised as a paranormal gothic romance. It is a sweet, clever, beautiful book, and I adored it. In 1820, the recently orphaned Elias Roch meets Josephine DeClare at an inn, and falls instantly and passionately in love. But in the morning, she is gone, and he has no … Continue reading Dearest Josephine by Caroline George

Bollywood and the Beast by Suleikha Snyder

Bollywood and the Beast

Bollywood and the Beast by Suleikha Snyder caused me to pull a Bad Decisions Book Club moment at RT…does that mean I leveled up? Is that the Bad-Ass Decisions Book Club? So many questions. As you may have guessed from the title, Bollywood and the Beast is a Beauty and the Beast story set in Bollywood–but it’s so much more than that. It’s a book about a bi-racial heroine not feeling accepted by any cultural … Continue reading Bollywood and the Beast by Suleikha Snyder

King’s Captive by Amber Bardan

King’s Captive

King’s Captive is one epic, delicious mind fuck of a book. I started it after finishing another book at 11 p.m. and read it in one glorious sitting (Bad Decisions Book Club, y’all) and when I was done I needed a cigarette. And I don’t smoke. So first of all, this book is total crazysauce but the best kind of crazysauce. I was totally invested in what was happening. I gave up many precious hours … Continue reading King’s Captive by Amber Bardan

Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

Three Dark Crowns

I should be in bed right now. I should be getting a good night’s sleep before I start my work week tomorrow, but I’m not. All hope of being productive today or tomorrow went by the wayside when I started Three Dark Crowns this afternoon. Since I started the book I’ve done nothing but read, and now I’m reviewing it late at night because OMG YOU GUYS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS. I am literally sweating right … Continue reading Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

The Disappearance at Devil’s Rock by Paul Tremblay

Disappearance at Devil’s Rock

In one of my more epic Bad Decisions Book Club moments I decided to read The Disappearance at Devil’s Rock by Paul Tremblay (the author that scared Stephen King) immediately before my husband left town for a week. Cue me lying in bed in a cold sweat, sleep deprived, paralyzed with fear because I can smell the rotten stench of zombies, only it turns out to be Dewey’s fetid “salmon and chicken entree” breath, and … Continue reading The Disappearance at Devil’s Rock by Paul Tremblay

Welcome to the Bad Decisions Book Club

A burgundy tent made out of a book standing on its edges with a gold light coming from inside around the border it says BAD DECISIONS BOOKS CLUB and the website URL plus JUST ONE MORE PAGE on the cover of the tent-book

Ever since I was old enough to read on my own, I’ve been making terrible decisions regarding books and basic time management. I’m normally a fairly organized and responsible person. I file my taxes on time. My library books are never overdue. My homework was never late. Add books to the mix, though, and suddenly I decide to do things that Future Elyse will seriously regret, hence my founding of The Bad Decisions Book Club. … Continue reading Welcome to the Bad Decisions Book Club
