I’m a big fan of Sarah MacLean‘s Hell’s Belles series because of their excellent blend of historical vibes, sassy women, humor, and of course, spice. The third book in the series is no different. Knockout [Buy Bookshop Amazon LibroFM] finally gives us a little more about Imogen’s backstory along with her romance. I’ve loved herContinue reading “Book Review: “Knockout” by Sarah MacLean”

Book Review: “The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard” by Natasha Lester
It’s been about a year since I picked up The Three Lives of Alix St. Pierre [Buy Bookshop Amazon LibroFM] and fell in love with the story. Now, Natasha Lester is bringing Alix back… sort of. The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard isn’t one I would normally pick up at first glance. I’m not a huge fan ofContinue reading “Book Review: “The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard” by Natasha Lester”
Book Review: “Divine Rivals” by Rebecca Ross
Every once in a while, I get caught sleeping on a hot book. Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross is one of them. I got an ARC at YALLFest 2022 because someone mentioned it involved journalists. Rebecca visited St. Louis on her tour for this book and I got my ARC signed, but still hadn’t readContinue reading “Book Review: “Divine Rivals” by Rebecca Ross”
Book Review: “Damsel” by Evelyn Skye
It’s not everyday that an author who has been out of the game for a minute due to personal issues gets a request to write the novelization of a Netflix movie with a pretty big name attached to it. That’s exactly what happened to Evelyn Skye when she was asked to write the novelization ofContinue reading “Book Review: “Damsel” by Evelyn Skye”
Book Review: “The Hundred Loves Of Juliet” by Evelyn Skye
I did not know I needed a Romeo and Juliet meets The Time Traveler’s Wife mash-up, but here we are and I am obsessed. I first heard about The Hundred Loves of Juliet and ended up getting an ARC while at Emerald City Comic Con in March, when Evelyn Skye made an appearance. She soldContinue reading “Book Review: “The Hundred Loves Of Juliet” by Evelyn Skye”
Buzzy Jackson and “To Die Beautiful”
If you’ve been around here a little while, you’ve probably picked up on the fact that I love a good World War II story, especially one about a real woman who did some bold things during that time. This is one of those stories, and it comes from a historian. To Die Beautiful [Buy BookshopContinue reading “Buzzy Jackson and “To Die Beautiful””
“Lessons In Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus
One of the benefits of working in a bookstore is the ARC supply. We get quite a few, so sometimes I grab things willy-nilly. One of my random selections was Lessons in Chemistry [Buy Bookshop Amazon LibroFM], and I promptly forgot I had it. Not even the part where it was our book of theContinue reading ““Lessons In Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus”

If you’ve been hanging around the LiteraryHypewoman page for a while, you might remember seeing a ‘two for Tuesday’ post about Manda Collins.

“Daisy Jones & The Six” by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I can’t decide if this is a ‘Bookstagram made me do it’ read or not. I picked up the book because I had the opportunity to watch the Daisy Jones and The Six TV adaptation before its release, and I felt like I should probably read the book first. So I did. (Check out myContinue reading ““Daisy Jones & The Six” by Taylor Jenkins Reid”
