Prince of Storms by Kit Rocha

I did not come all this way to live a smaller life

Prince of Storms by Kit Rocha

June 16, 2026 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

This is a hard review to write because I had such a fractured reading experience. I was never able to get into a rhythm with reading, and whatever narrative tension exists was undercut by constantly having to fight with the digital copy to get back to where I left off. NetGalley Shelf digital copies … [Read more]

The Housewife by Natalie Barelli

The Housewife by Natalie Barelli

June 16, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not impact my rating or review.  Long story short. This was not the worst book I have read, but it's up there. I said in some of my updates on other sites I post reviews on that this read like a bad Freida McFadden book and I stand by … [Read more]

June 15, 2026 by stegolily Leave a Comment

I haven't finished any adult books recently, but my kids and I have been flying through the junior graphic novel section of our local library lately, so I thought I'd review the latest books we've read. I really like the Blue, Barry, & Pancakes series by Dan and Jason (credited without … [Read more]

The siren call of NASA

To the Moon and Back by Eliana Ramage

June 15, 2026 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I was a little surprised to find that this is the second book about a lesbian astronaut that I've read in the past six months. Back in December, I read Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and I loved it. I can't remember where I first saw To the Moon and Back (2025) by Eliana Ramage, but at some … [Read more]

Poor little rich girl

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

June 15, 2026 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Last year, I tried to complete the seasonal reading challenges on Goodreads (though the skeptic in me feels like it’s a way for Amazon to get people to buy more books). This year, I have been checking the categories and using them as a way to work through books I already own but I won’t buy a book … [Read more]
