“Miss Bowman, if I had enough pockets, I could save the world.”

December 12, 2016 by faintingviolet 8 Comments

Here we have the concluding story of the Wallflowers quartet (ok, not quite, there is a Christmas book about a brother that I have already requested from the library even though Mrs. Julien marked it two stars…) and we have arrived at Daisy’s story, our last remaining Wallflower. I’ve had ups and downs with these books this year, but mostly this book ends the series on a good note. Scandal in Spring shows that Kleypas has learned from her previous outings.  I still feel It […]

Thank you to our most lovely exchange coordinator, faintingviolet, for my new books :D

I came home from a poop day at work to a book exchange package from Katie (faintingviolet) and it made my day. I legit squealed when I opened the first book and saw Wishful Drinking. And I’ve been meaning to read Austenland and start Sandman for yearrrrs. (Although, I will confess that I’m actually super intimidated to start Sandman.) Thank you so much, Katie! And thank you for organizing this beautimous tradition.

Since I started the Stud Club books that way, with Tessa Dare’s One Dance with a Duke I figured I would continue on that path for the series and picked up Twice Tempted by a Rogue. Then I promptly forgot to read it as I worked through other books this year. When I finished We Should All Be Feminists […]

Thank You, Ellepkay!

I have a soft spot for the community here at Cannonball Read, and it gives me great pleasure to organize our book exchange each year. Pairing up just the right people is a fun challenge. The most awkward part? Sending my own name to someone. It doesn’t stop me though, since I love giving and receiving books. This year Ellepkay nailed it (I have always been very lucky with my gifters!). Not only did I receive a very sweet card (one is on its way […]
