Mainly a reader of UF/PNR/Contemporary Romance. I’m a sucker for superpowers of any kind. But, I do toss in some Triller/Suspense, Sci/Fi, Police Procedural and Non-Fiction from time to time.

    Not much “action,” but the charm is in the small things. I’m enjoying the softness.

    Reading how Viv is explaining how coffee tastes for her makes me a little sad that I don't like it. I tried it in so many different ways and times, but I just don't like hot drinks. It's a weird quirk I have, but hot drinks are just a no go sadly

    "A coffee shop? In a city where nobody even knew what coffee was? Until six months ago, she'd never heard of it, never smelled or tasted it."

    HI SORRY. Babe, you tried coffee for the first time SIX MONTHS AGO and have now decided to upend your entire life in order to START A BUSINESS centered ENTIRELY around coffee, staffed exclusively (i presume??) by folks who have never heard of it???

    Extraordinarily weird flex but okay

    Anybody who lives in Washington state know of cheap and/secondhand bookstores. It can be anywhere in Washington. I’ll even accept bookstores in/around Portland, OR

  • Star Ratings

    How do you rate a book? Do you base your overall star rating on quaility or enjoyment or something else?

    A year ago, I decided I wanted to be more consistent with my star ratings so I decided to use the following as my guide:

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely loved it/a favourite! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Enjoyed; Would reread; would recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Enjoyed; would recommend ; ⭐️⭐️ Didn't enjoy; would still recommend ⭐️ Didn't enjoy; would not recommend

    But I'm not sure if I have it balanced well. I think maybe I should change it to:

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed; Would reread; Would recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Enjoyed; Would recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ Didn't enjoy; would still recommend ⭐️ Didn't enjoy; would not recommend

    But I'm not sure what to put at 3 stars.

    Could I know other peoples star rating criteria, please?

    Thank you!

    Do you think this (book three) was too much like book two?

    It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t really capture my attention the way the earlier books did. Maybe because I didn’t find the MCs as endearing, and maybe also because it was more of the exact same. Every book is mates who fight it, and the same kids forcing the issue to make them accept it, rinse and repeat. Not even for a different reason (did they fight it). The MMCs for books 2 & 3 were fighting the mate bond for the exact same reason. 🥱

    “The censorship of fiction”

    If only poor Bram knew when writing this article that his already erotically charged portrayal of the undead would evolve into the lascivious smut produced now he’d be horrified
