Top Ten Tuesday: One-Word Reviews
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This was a challenge I just couldn’t resist! Still workingContinueContinue reading “Top Ten Tuesday: One-Word Reviews”
Book Review: Showstopper by Tom Ramsay
Format: ebookPublished: 6th May, 2026Age: Young AdultGenre: Contemporary Romance Rating: 5/5 Stars Oh, this book was adorable! Right from the start I suspected I’d love this one, and I wasn’t let down. The two at the centre of this – Olly and Tarun – are written brilliantly. I think this will appeal to both theContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Showstopper by Tom Ramsay”
Book Review: Lady Eve’s Last Con by Rebecca Fraimow
Format: ebookPublished: 4th June, 2024Age: AdultGenre: Sci-Fi Romance Rating: 2/5 Stars I really wanted to like this one more than I did. Especially with the apparent blending of 1920s and space opera sci-fi, as well as the sapphic element. Unfortunately, the interesting elements fell flat among the poor worldbuilding and lack of characterisation. Ruth isContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Lady Eve’s Last Con by Rebecca Fraimow”
Book Review: Are You Mad at Me? by Meg Josephson
Format: ebookPublished: 5th August, 2026Age: AdultGenre: Nonfiction – Self Help Rating: 5/5 Stars Self Help books often get a poor reception – don’t get me wrong, I know there’s a lot of dubious ones out there, but to listen to some people talk you’d think they were all somehow worsening society. In my own humbleContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Are You Mad at Me? by Meg Josephson”
Book Review: Drawn Together by Juliana Smith
Format: ebookPublished: 27th September, 2025Age: AdultGenre: Contemporary Romance Rating: 5/5 Stars I read two excellent contemporary romances back-to-back, and now feel a little spoiled! I honestly didn’t think this would be as good immediately after reading Conflict of Interest, but it really surprised me. Flora has recently moved to New York, and is about toContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Drawn Together by Juliana Smith”

Then realise how many books they have and hope you get to read, well, all of them, soon? That’s how IContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Conflict of Interest by Zarah Detand”
Book Review: The Governess Gambit by Erica Ridley
Format: ebookPublished: 18th December, 2020Age: AdultGenre: Historical Romance Rating: 4/5 Stars This is a prequel book, so I’m sure there were bits I was missing that would have bumped into 5 stars, purely from the fact I haven’t yet read The Duke Heist. I am, however, very keen on doing so after meeting the Wynchesters.ContinueContinue reading “Book Review: The Governess Gambit by Erica Ridley”
Book Review: The groom that got away by Sally Clements
Format: ebookPublished: 18th December, 2025Age: AdultGenre: Contemporary Romance Rating: 1/5 Stars If this book wasn’t so short, I would have DNF’d. This is marketed as ‘fun and flirty’ but the characters barely flirted and it wasn’t all that fun. The premise is that April’s sister June is getting married, and invites Matthew, who left herContinueContinue reading “Book Review: The groom that got away by Sally Clements”
