Nancy Drew Review #7: The Clue in the Diary
After 6 books, it's time for a new character: the charming, devoted, and ever-popular Ned Nickerson. (Also there's a mystery, as usual.)
A Farce of True Love | Never Fall for Your Fiancée by Virginia Heath
Virginia Heath's fake dating historical romcom is high on the silliness, low on the logic, but all around a good time.
Best Book of 2021 (legit) | Thronebreakers by Rebecca Coffindaffer
This stunning conclusion to Rebecca Coffindaffer's space opera duology has it all: action, adventure, found family, tragedy, and hope.
Unrealized Potential | Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch by Rivka Galchen
This witty, irreverent historical novel is narrated by Johannes Kepler's seventy-year-old mother, who's accused as a witch and really doesn't have time for any of it. My opinion: SO CLOSE to being a great book.
Got Anxiety? Why Not Kiss It Better? | Twice Shy by Sarah Hogle
Twice Shy: an endearing romance full of fairytale charm. I loved it! Except...is it appropriate to "cure" severe anxiety with the Power of Love?
Child Soldiers are Role Models, Actually? | Rising Like a Storm by Tanaz Bhathena
Did I love this book? YES. Do I also want to discuss the ethics of leaving children to fight wars on behalf of adults? YES.
