A charming and bittersweet ice queen romance
Review of Table for Two by Kate Gavin The way my brain works, I rarely remember stories, and never in details. Sometimes I’ll remember characters, usually not their names.

A very good fauxmance romcom
Review of Accidental Honeymoon by Miranda MacLeod, Audiobook narrated by Lori Prince Almost every time I read a book by Miranda MacLeod, I’m surprised that they make me laugh.

A fun reflection on right and wrong… with zombies
Review of Bigger Monsters by Eliza Andrews I may not be ready for another pandemic book but it turns out I was more than ready for a post-pandemic apocalypse-with-zombies story. Because, you know, things can always get worse and books, like nightmares, are a good way of exorcising those fears. Violently torn away from the […]
