Book Review: A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet

I won a paperback copy of this from Sarah Wendell of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books a few weeks ago via Twitter. I knew nothing about it but I’m a big fan of SBTB and generally trust her recs. Then I read that Nalini Singh gave a recommendation for the book, and I pretty much adore all things Nalini so I started the book immediately lol. And…OMG…I’ve never been happier to have won a book before! I thoroughly loved everything about it. Continue reading “Book Review: A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet”

Book Review: First Comes Love by Emily Giffin

I’m a big fan of Emily Giffin and I’ve really loved pretty much all of her other books. She has a great way of writing families and women in particular that is incredibly realistic, funny, and moving. So when I got a chance to meet her at BEA back in May I was really excited! I got a chance to get a signed copy of First Comes Love, which was great, and the author was genuine with her fans (also she was beautiful in person!).

Holy Freaking OMG – Lin-Manuel Miranda Narrated an Audiobook!

I don’t think I’ve squealed about Hamilton and Lin-Manuel Miranda or any of the amazing cast members here (that needs to be corrected shortly!), but I’m kind of obsessed with it. So much so that when I discovered that Lin had narrated a YA book previously I had to rush out to listen to it as quickly as possible. Even better is that the book turned out to be really well written with amazing characters so BONUS! Continue reading “Holy Freaking OMG – Lin-Manuel Miranda Narrated an Audiobook!”

Book Review: Under the Knife by Laurin Kelly

I requested this book completely based on its synopsis. It’s a m/m romance set on a cooking reality show like Top Chef. Um YES PLEASE!? I was definitely hoping it would live up to how exited I was for a book based on that awesomeness. And it so did! Continue reading “Book Review: Under the Knife by Laurin Kelly”

Book Review: His Royal Secret by Lilah Pace

I love Lilah Pace’s writing, I read her Asking for More books and thought her writing was captivating so I was so excited for this LGBT book to come out. This book is exactly what I needed! Since I read it I’ve been randomly recommending it to everyone I know who reads male/male romance.  Continue reading “Book Review: His Royal Secret by Lilah Pace”

Book Review: Moonstruck (Diablo Lake #1) by Lauren Dane

Lauren Dane is yet another prolific author I love! I’ve whipped through most of her backlist, but the one genre of hers that I have yet to try is any of her paranormal books for some reason. This is my first one and it was so good! I foresee a binge on all of her previous paranormal books now. Continue reading “Book Review: Moonstruck (Diablo Lake #1) by Lauren Dane”
