I was recently talking with someone (ok, my therapist) about the nature of romance. Like romance as an idea. See, Mr. Librarian and I have been married almost 15 years and sometimes (especially in the COVID times) it mostly feels like romance is dead. I mean, at this point there’s not much we don’t know … Continue reading You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall
To be honest, when I first saw this book, I thought to myself, "Cheryl, you’ve already read and loved a book very similar to this. In fact, it was one of the best books you’ve ever read. I don’t think I can make room in my life for a read-alike. It truly won't live up … Continue reading Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
If you haven’t heard of or read anything by Leigh Bardugo, I suggest that you change that immediately. I should be writing this post as an “Ode to… Leigh Bardugo” but instead this is a special edition to one particular reader who bought this book a while ago, but now needs a push to dive … Continue reading Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry
So, I think I’ve discovered that romances featuring idiots who love each other but refuse to talk about their feelings might be my catnip. Seriously. I requested People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry on a whim. I had read her previous novel Beach Read and I was only lukewarm about it, but when … Continue reading People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry

The Jane Austen Experience
So, did you read my review last week about Ladies of the House by Lauren Edmondson? Well, you should (and I'm not like biased or anything.) Did you run out and order it like I did? OK, good. So while you're waiting for it to be released or (if you're reading this AFTER February 2021) … Continue reading The Jane Austen Experience
Ladies of the House by Lauren Edmondson
You should probably know that I am a total sucker for a Jane Austen retelling. Or just Jane Austen. Or books about Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books of all time with Sense and Sensibility and Emma not too far behind. And I have the pleasure of saying that I … Continue reading Ladies of the House by Lauren Edmondson
