Book Review: Then & Now by Monica McCallan

Instant favorite. I am a big fan of Monica McCallan. Her characters are always hot and likable, with better than average dialogue, and a small dose of angst for a good payoff. But this was so much more than that. McCallan tells an affecting story of two women finding themselves unexpectedly back in each other’s […]

Book Review: Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

Why didn’t I read this sooner? Had I read it in 2019, when it was released, it would have topped my ‘best of’ list, for sure. ‘Gideon the Ninth’ is all necromancy, politics, and snark. Two out of three of those things are so outside my reading preference that I didn’t even recognize myself for […]

Book Review: The Secret Chord by Virginia Hale

Romance at its finest. “Tilly had longed for a simple life and devoting herself to God. Kate had longed for a simple life and devoting herself to Tilly.” Rarely do I feel like a book so emphatically resonates with me. All of the pieces have to come together just right. And they did.
