Mini Reviews: Night of Cake & Puppets, An Offer From a Gentleman

I think I need to take airplane flights more often. I got quite a bit of reading done in February because of this, and now I feel like I'm slacking in March. (I'm not...it just feels that way.) Night of Cake and Puppets was a companion novella to Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone [...]

Catching up to my "to review" list is almost as bad as trying to catch up to my TBR list. Okay, maybe not AS BAD, but it's gotten to the point where I have to do minis instead of full-on reviews (which I much prefer, because then I can rant a little longer). Then again, [...]

Mini Reviews: The Book of Lost Names, The Lost Girls of Paris

I guess I was on a WWII kick for the past few weeks, because that's really all I listened to on audiobook. And then suddenly...I wasn't. There was another audiobook that I'd listened to that went along the themes of WWII women who dealt with the war in some way, but by the time I [...]

Roma and Juliette || These Violent Delights Review

Initial Thoughts WHAT. NO. THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO END I AM UPSET. Okay, breathe. Honestly, the words "1920s" and "Shanghai" did the trick. I was slightly wary that because this was a Romeo and Juliet inspired story, that I wouldn't enjoy it as much. But then I read that beginning, and honestly, that [...]

Enter the Duke || The Duke & I Review

Enter the Duke || The Duke & I Review

Initial Thoughts:  Seemed a bit tame compared to some of the historical romances I've dabbled with, but honestly, I mostly adored Daphne's three older brothers in the book. I don't think I particularly took to Daphne and Simon's relationship as much as I did in the TV adaptation, but I did enjoy them as characters [...]

Mari

Mari-with-an-I prefers her fantasies drenched in oil and fried up in faerie, but when that’s not the case, she’ll read it anyway. She likes writing what she reads, and likes baking while she writes. She’s written a few things for anthologies, including an anthology that got translated into Czech (I know, right?! Eeeeee!), and if you haven’t read them yet, she urges you to do so! Who knows, there might be a few cookies waiting for you at the end of the read.

…Or not. (Blast her pet steampoctopus for eating them all!)

4 cookies = Book was great and certainly worth the read.

3 cookies = Book was good but I expected better.

2 cookies = Meh.

1 cookie = Why did I even bother?!
