CIRCE by Madeline Miller Review

Hello, Hello, Hi *waves* Pull up a chair, welcome to my little slice of the bookish community. We are here to chat about CIRCE by Madeline Miller BLURB "A  bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story," this #1  New York Times bestseller is "both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right" (Alexandra Alter,  The New York Times ).

Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the mo...

Junk Mail by Kendall Ryan Review

Hello, Hello, Hi *waves* Pull up a chair, welcome to my little slice of the bookish community. Junk Mail by Kendall  Ryan BLURB It all started with a sexy selfie. Texted to the wrong number.  Oops.  Not my finest moment—but I have nothing to be ashamed of. She thought I was no better, and I quote,  than the knuckle-dragging douche-bags she was never dating again. It was a stupid dare from a girl I’d met online, but since she’d given me a fake number, I didn’t feel bad that my interests were suddenly focused elsewhere—on the fiery and sharp-tongued, Peyton that I found myself sparring with over text for the rest of the evening. The following day, my case of mistaken identity came back to bite me in the banana. When I strolled into the office, I was introduced to Peyton as the new client I needed to win over. The Peyton , in case you're not tracking. And let’s just say she had my full attention. Brains? ...

Hello, Hello, Hi *waves* Pull up a chair, welcome to my little slice of the bookish community. Blurb Tiffy and Leon share a flat Tiffy and Leon share a bed Tiffy and Leon have never met…   Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they’re crazy, but it’s the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy’s at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time. But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven’t met yet, they’re about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the window…   My Thoughts 'The Flatshare' did not feel  red or feel like so many of the countless romantic-comedy books I've read throughout the years. Tiffy and Leon are flatmates with a twist. They share a bed. But Leon is in the flat only during ...
