Ever since I was a kid, I have been in love with Greek mythology. I don’t know why they appealed to me so much - whether it was the magic, the daring heroes (and it was almost always heroes, not heroines) or just the idea that the world was way older than myself. I remember … Continue reading Best Books Inspired by Greek Mythology

Most excited for June-December 2021
It’s that time of year. The time when I start revising my “books I’m excited for” list. At the beginning of the year, I usually put books that come out within the first few months. But that means I ignore or am ignorant of all the amazing books coming out in the second half of … Continue reading Most excited for June-December 2021
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
My 2020 Favorites
I know what you're thinking. "But Cheryl, didn't you already do a retrospective on 2020. You couldn't decide on your favorites so you highlighted all the books you reviewed published in 2020. Right?" Well, yes. But in the past year, I've been writing (somewhat) regularly and I've had a lot of fun. So in my … Continue reading My 2020 Favorites
Looking back at 2020
So it's that time of year. The time when everyone tends to take stock of what they have accomplished in the past year. While many people make New Year's Resolutions, I have always avoided the practice. I tend to find that making those resolutions means I am setting myself up for failure. Instead, I like … Continue reading Looking back at 2020
An ode to… Kerri Maniscalco
So I’ll be the first to admit that I came to Kerri Maniscalco later than many, many others. See, I have this prejudice against James Patterson (I mean - unputdownable IS NOT A WORD!!! AAAAH) and his imprint publishes Maniscalco’s books (well, it did, but now she'll be published elsewhere). I know I shouldn’t judge … Continue reading An ode to… Kerri Maniscalco
In A Holidaze by Christina Lauren
I’m going to start out by saying that I almost never read Christmas books. As a person who is Jewish, I make a conscious effort not to read Christmas books. Call it dedication to being different or an obstinate approach to a time of year that drives me crazy, but being Jewish at Christmastime is … Continue reading In A Holidaze by Christina Lauren
Looking forward to 2021
It’s that time of year again. The time of year where I get reflective about the year’s past (although is anyone really looking back at 2020 with anything other than disappointment, anger, and contempt?) and I start getting hopeful and excited about the year to come. Last year at this time, I hadn’t written much … Continue reading Looking forward to 2021
One Person, No Vote by Carol Anderson
On this blog, I try to talk about the books that make me happy, or lacking that, books that give me a strong emotional response that I feel that I just have to talk about. I avoid sad subjects or books that I hate in order to promote a positive outlook on the world. If … Continue reading One Person, No Vote by Carol Anderson
An ode to… A Court of Thorns and Roses
When I originally decided to write this post, I wanted it to focus on my favorite in the series, book 2 - A Court of Mist and Fury. I had Mr. Librarian read an early draft and his biggest critique was that I was spending so much time explaining and exploring book 1, that I … Continue reading An ode to… A Court of Thorns and Roses
