A Couple Months of Reading: May & June

Life's been a bit busy lately and so I've combined the last two months this time.

Best reads of the past two months:

Sacred by Dennis Lehane (best one in the series so far, hands down)
Definitely Dead by Charlaine Harris (not enough Eric, but Quinn's a tiger and that's cool)
The Dream-Maker's Magic by Sharon Shinn (last and probably best in the trilogy; when it comes to trilogies, my favorites tend to be the middle books, so this one was a pleasant surprise)
The Princess Diaries Vol. 1&2 by Meg Cabot (picked up against my better judgment, turns out it's laugh-out-loud funny; i love being proven wrong when it comes to books)
Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich (not a resolution in sight, but Ranger's there being all Rangery, so all is right in Plumland)

Best rereads of the past two months:

Homecoming, Dicey's Song, A Solitary Blue, Sons From Afar, and Seventeen Against the Dealer by Cynthia Voigt (Finest Kind)
Sunshine and The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley (when, oh when, is her next book coming out?)
The Road Home by Ellen Emerson White (she stopped in for our discussion on Readerville--it was awesome)

Bibliocrack Review | You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian

If I'm being perfectly honest with myself, I've done a shamefully poor job of addressing my love for Cat Sebastian 's books around these parts. I've certainly noted each time her beautiful stories have appeared on my end-of-the-year best of lists, see: The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes , basically every book in The Cabots series , and of course We Could Be So Good . And the pull is, quite simply, this: nobody is as kind and gentle with their characters and with their hearts than Cat Sebastian. Nobody. I haven't always been one for the gentler stories, but I cannot overstate the absolute gift it is sinking into one of Sebastian's exquisitely crafted historicals knowing that I get to spend the next however many pages watching two idiots pine and deny that feelings exist and just take care of each other as they fall in love. I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. Not this one or any other. Only two things in the world people count b...

Angie's Best Books of 2024

Looking back at it now, it was a really solid reading year. I mean, it did its usual (for me) thing and meandered its merry way, here and there, up and down, and in fits and starts across the span of all twelve months. But it really did shape up nicely. Which is a good thing, because it was—shockingly, I know—another year in which we so desperately needed the authors and books and words of the world to come through for us. And they did, didn't they? I am, as ever, so grateful for them and their willingness to push through every barrier and battle that I know must try to keep them from putting their visions on paper. And so, as has long been my custom, I record here my list of published books that saw me through the year. Gifts, every one. (listed in the order in which I read them) The Atlas Complex by Olivie Blake Bride by Ali Hazelwood You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian Once Persuaded, Twice Shy by Melodie Edwards Lucky Bounce by Cait Nary Lips Like Sugar by Jes...
