An unapologetic feminist novel featuring badass lady pirates?!?! Well played, India Holton. You get me. You really do. I've jumped ahead. Let me rewind a bit. Close your eyes and imagine back a few weeks ago. Past Cheryl was excited when this book finally made it to the top of my TBR. I finally picked … Continue reading The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Holton

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Strap in, everyone. It’s going to be a long one. I’m finally tackling a book series that I have been meaning to write about for ages now and it will come to no surprise to those of you who have Netflix, but I’m going to talk about the Shadow and Bone series by Leigh Bardugo. … Continue reading Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
When I finished this book, my first thought was that this was the most beautiful book I had ever read! Frankly, I’m not even sure how to start this post. I’m actually struggling to find the words to describe this book. And, you know it's good when I HAVE NO WORDS! ME! NO WORDS! What … Continue reading The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
You Had Me At Hola by Alexis Daria
One of the great parts of Spring Break is that I get some uninterrupted reading time. And even though I have so many eBooks to read (my Netgalley ARCs list is out of control), this time I decided to dedicate myself to reading only print books on my TBR. For Hanukkah, Mr. Librarian bought me … Continue reading You Had Me At Hola by Alexis Daria
You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle
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
Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer
Hi, it’s me again - Mr. Librarian. Cheryl is letting me tell you about another book I read, but first I guess I should tell you a few things about me: I’m married to arguably the world’s coolest librarian;I’m a huge dork;I generally like reading biographies, occasionally with sci-fi, mysteries, and Cheryl’s recommendations mixed in;I … Continue reading Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer
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
Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell
Haunting. Musical. Lyrical. Heart-breaking. Grief. Loss. Pain. Weakness. Strength. These are only a few of the words that ran through my head while I was reading this book. Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell is a tour-de-force. It takes hold of you and keeps you in it’s grip until the very last page. This book is, in … Continue reading Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell
