“I’m a fuckin’ honey badger and by this claw”— she held her hand up—“ I fuckin’ rule.”

Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston

In a Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston

Badger to the Bone by Shelly Laurenston

May 5, 2026 by Pooja 1 Comment

I picked up the first book on Saturday and was done with the third by the end of the week. Like Pringles, you can't have just one. Hot and Badgered - 4.25 stars When a naked woman tumbles onto his hotel balcony while escaping her enemies, Berg's happy to give her a T-shirt and a gun, but … [Read more]

Green City Wars

Life, uhh, finds a way. – The Divine Jeff

Green City Wars by Adrian Tchaikovsky

May 5, 2026 by Emmalita 2 Comments

I requested Adrian Tchaikovsky's Green City Wars because I was intrigued by the premise - Philip Marlow meets Redwall with a raccoon private investigator. This is not an inaccurate description. BUT! It's Phillip Marlow meets Redwall written by Adrian Tchaikovsky. When I understood the premise of the … [Read more]

Soon by You

And he left her behind, as much as he could, the taste of maraschino cherry still bright on the tip of his tongue.

Soon by You by Dahlia Adler

May 5, 2026 by Emmalita 3 Comments

Soon by You is a romance in which two people who think they are completely wrong for each other, find out they are completely right for each other. After many years of writing YA romance, Dalia Adler is bringing the questioning of self into the firmly adult romance world. I enjoyed this so … [Read more]

Wrapping Up the Tawny Man Trilogy

Fool's Fate by Robin Hobb

May 5, 2026 by Tracy Leave a Comment

Two things: 1) Sometimes I think Hobb just turns to random pages in the dictionary to name characters. 2) I abhor the way Hobb sexualizes young teen girls. She did it in Liveship Traders, and she's doing it again with Elliania in this trilogy. The argument that this is a medieval-type world and that … [Read more]

Last Kings

The Last Kings of Hollywood: Coppola, Lucas, Spielberg―and the Battle for the Soul of American Cinema by Paul Fischer

May 5, 2026 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

The story of how Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg met, befriended each other, and worked in frequently close collaboration as they took over Hollywood in the 1970s is a subject tailor-made for a great book. Paul Fischer's The Last Kings of Hollywood, however, is not that … [Read more]

Yes, I read another post-apocalyptic fiction! No, I'm NOT sorry! This story is about Griz, a teen who lives on a small island in the Hebrides. Griz is alone except for a mum, a dad, sisters, and two beloved dogs, Jess and Jip. They are alone because they live in the years following The Gelding, … [Read more]

    We can sit in the corner and have a great time together with our sparkling water and superb conversation.

    Yes, I am fun at parties. I too like parties where discussions on hierarchy and oppression abound!
