Son of Tarzan Beasts of Tarzan Return of Tarzan Talking to Dragons Just Stay Away

Son of Tarzan

Son of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs comes within a micrometer of edging out Tarzan of the Apes for top book in the series, and...

Beasts of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs picks up the story about a year after the end of Return of Tarzan and features the same...

Return of Tarzan

Just in case this is the first Tarzan review of mine you’ve come across, let me warn you, I am an unapologetic fan of the...

Talking to Dragons

Talking to Dragons was the first book Patricia C. Wrede wrote in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, and it was never meant to be the capstone...

Just Stay Away

It’s always funny to me when authors write books about authors. Tell me you’ve never had a real job without telling me you’ve never had...

Review: Could Have Been Romantic

What do you do when the one you’re in love with is incapable of loving you back. Not because you’re unlovable or they’re unloving, but because they’re just not wired that way? That’s the challenge Drew faces as he fills notebooks with all of the reasons he loves his favorite…

Review: Could Have Been Closer

Camilla Evergreen writes really good fantasy romances. This isn’t one. To be fair, it’s not supposed to be, but it is more fantastic than the vampire cat novel. This book needed more grounding in reality and less fantasy. In this story, the main character, Juliette has been lying to her…

Review: The Secret Lake

Do you ever get so stressed that all you want is a little kid lit? No, just me? I asked for book recs for quick and fun reads for children and this one came out on top. It’s a quick and thoughtful book about time travel and friendship. It reminded…

Review: Could Have Been Us

I just found out today that Camilla Evergreen is just the side gig for Anne Stryker. Heck of a side gig, because these little romance books she’s putting out on the side are worlds better than most romances I’ve read, and I’ve read a lot. A lot. Just in the…

Review: Winnie the Pooh

How do you write a review of something that has been part of your life from birth? That’s the struggle I’m having writing about Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne. One of my earliest memories was watching the Disney movie and being captivated by the turning of the pages and…

The Chaos Library

On June 9, 2023, someone I didn’t like very much introduced me to MidJourney on Discord. If you’re not familiar, it’s an AI system that generates pictures based on text. I was intrigued, and immediately pulled up my mostly-unused Discord app and gave it a try. My first prompt: A…

Review: The Wandering Inn

What if I told you that there is a fantasy series that is 13 times bigger than all the Harry Potter books combined and three times the Wheel of Time series, and it’s all free? Yeah, sounds like fantasy, alright. The too-good-to-be-true kind. Don’t worry, I’m not selling anything, just…

Review: The Paris Bookshop for the Broken-Hearted

I have friends who only read romances, and that’s great for them. My grandmom used to get a shipment of Harlequin romances by mail every month, and she read them a lot more than she did her scriptures. I knew it was fun for her, and I respected that. But…

Review: Thinking Fast And Slow

I love books by geniuses, especially when those geniuses admit to being just as dumb as the rest of us. The main point of this book is that we all do a lot of thinking we never know about, and that every single one of us is lazier than we…

Review: Bribed by the Billionaire Bad Boy

October 12, 2024 was the day I first read a book by Camilla Evergreen. Not significant in any other way in my life – I know, because I checked my journal – but significant because this author has completely ruined me for every other romance author out there. (Except Georgette…
