Blog Tour & Review: Johanna Porter Is Not Sorry by Sara Read

Posted on March 6, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Johanna Porter Is Not Sorry is the perfect book for anyone tackling impostor syndrome of the feeling of impossibility when chasing their dreams. While Johanna’s story may feel larger than life, the simple truth is that much of her struggles will resonate with readers. It certainly hit me hard! Continue reading →

Review: Nocturne by Alyssa Wees

Posted on February 21, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

I’m not ashamed to admit that Nocturne’s stunning cover initially caught my eye. However, Grace’s story and the promise within were enough to hold my attention. All things considered, I would say that this is a solid read – full of fantasy elements and a few surprise twists. Continue reading →

Review: An Irish Country Yuletide by Patrick Taylor

Posted on December 9, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

An Irish Country Yuletide is the sixteenth novel in Patrick Taylor’s Irish Country series. To be fair, I accidentally jumped right in the middle of this series (whoops!). But honestly? I have no trouble following right along. Oh! And don’t forget, this book (and series as a whole) contains actual recipes within the pages. It has been a hot minute since I read a book that blended together like this, so that was a fun surprise. Continue reading →

Fox & Wit: I Tried a New (to Me) Book Subscription Box

Posted on October 4, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

I’ve been feeling the urge to try another book subscription box (or two). Before I start getting flooded with recommendations (who doesn’t love promoting their favorite box): I’m trying to stick to US/CA boxes to reduce shipping times and costs. Continue reading →

Review: Heat Wave by T.J. Klune

Posted on September 21, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Heat Wave is the third and final novel in T.J. Klune’s The Extraordinaries series. If you wandered across this story after finding (and falling in love with) The House in the Cerulean Sea, then you better prepare yourself because this is a totally different beast. T.J. Klune is the master at changing voices. Continue reading →

Review: Steelstriker by Marie Lu

Posted on August 26, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Steelstriker is the second and final novel in Marie Lu’s Skyhunter series. It feels odd to be saying goodbye to these characters so quickly, but I’d rather see the story get a proper ending. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: Blocked by Seanan McGuire

Posted on August 20, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

The short stories within Seanan McGuire’s InCryptid series are plentiful, for which I am grateful. Blocked is my most recent read and the first short story to give Antimony Price the lead. This is set following the second novel in the series – so before Antimony even got her own novel. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: What was I meant to do? By Seanan McGuire

Posted on August 13, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

What was I meant to do? Is another short story written by Seanan McGuire, and it fits in her InCryptid series. It’s set between the events of the first and second novels (Discount Armageddon and Midnight Blue-Light Special), but it doesn’t follow any of the main characters that we’re used to. Continue reading →
