Rambling around the internet; helping niblings maneuver through college, learn their ABC's and deal with middle school (usually all on the same day); reading to remain alive.

NTE's Reviews:

“That was, perhaps, the most unfeeling proposal she could imagine. The man was cynical, insensitive, condescending, rude. And she was definitely going to marry him.”

Guys this book? Is so good. That I’m mad that the next book in the series doesn’t come out for months. (MONTHS! August is a lot of months away.) It’s full of trope-y delicious nonsense, and ridiculous people, and stuff you know could never happen in real life, but who cares? Duke, hideously scarred in The War, loses fiancé and proposes a Marriage of Convenience to the Uppity Seamstress who dared ask for the funds he owes her for creating the lost fiancé’s hideous wedding […]

The Pressure to Pun is Too Much, so no pun.

It’s going to be hard to review An Affair to Dismember without saying in the vein of Janet Evanovich, because that’s one thousand percent true, but it’s also so trite – it is literally on the book cover, and the Amazon review I saw of the series that made me click on the free Kindle link.  Which is kind of annoying, because they’re definitely right: I mean there’s for sure a Stephanie Plum, Bobbie Faye, name your favorite screwed up, clueless, somehow still manages to […]

I’m just going to get this out of the way from the start – I read a lot of books this year. A lot.  And I started a lot of reviews, because some of them were excellent, and some of them were horrible, and all of them were review worthy. But… between a completely not-user-friendly borrowed computer saga, the nonsense that is our entire world right now, and a year that would just not quit beating up on me and those I loved, well, not […]

Sneaking in another good one, before the deadline

December 31, 2016 by NTE 4 Comments

And here we have a full Cannonball, completed at the last possible moment! That’s fine though, because I’m at least finishing up with an excellent book.  Everyone Brave is Forgiven is the interwoven tale of three interesting and intrepid characters, set in World War II London.  From their very first introductions, till the bitter end of the story, I was so involved with them that I genuinely worried for them, given the fact that they were, you know, in an active war zone and all.
