Queen B’s Decree: Savage Beasts is a retelling of the Greek tragedy Medea, but it’s set in the 1750’s India. I had a hard time connecting to the story, so many elements didn’t fit for me. Meena is the daughter of the Nawab, essentially royalty, yet she walks around with no chaperone and is able […]
Queen B’s Decree: I added Radiance to my 23 books in 2023 list, since Queen J told me to read it…many years ago. But it’s fantasy. And you know I rarely read that. To the surprise of me—I was obsessed. Two characters in an arranged marriage who find each other literally repulsive physically? And they […]
Queen B’s Decree: Her Fixer Upper was cute and sweet and relatively predictable. Despite the predictability, it was still pretty enjoyable. Freya was a little neurotic and sometimes I found it hard to understand her reactions, but Charlie was a bit nonchalant for my tastes. But kudos to both of them, there is no way […]
Queen B’s Decree: Pity Date is by a new-to-me author and the cover sold me immediately. But I struggled initially. Faith has just found out her boyfriend has been cheating on her, and she is really emotional about it. Maybe I’m heartless, but some of her crying jags were too much for me. I.E., seeing […]
Queen B’s Decree: You’ve Got Mail is my favorite RomCom movie of all time. So it’s no surprise that I love books with the same theme. Meant For Me hooked me from the start. Enid inherits both a broken down house and bookstore from the grandmother she never knew, but is surprised to find out […]
Queen B’s Decree: I immediately got sucked into Steven’s story. He’s basically a small-time criminal, but mostly as a product of his environment. His boss wants him to find the boss’ missing girlfriend…and from there a whole, massive story unfolds. The plot line was pretty interesting, and I enjoyed seeing everything through Steven’s point-of-view. There […]
Queen B’s Decree: My wonderful friend recommended Accidentally Amy last fall…incessantly. And I thought “fine, it’s on the TBR” but we all know what that means….I’ll never read it. Until the audiobook went on sale for $1.99. I don’t even listen to audiobooks but I can’t resist a deal like that. And turns out, I […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’m going through my physical TBR this year and I decided to attempt Reputation by Lex Croucher. I didn’t get very far before I chose to DNF. It was like modern day characters were placed in the Regency period and it didn’t vibe with me. And the characters were a little too […]
Queen B’s Decree: Wrong Place Wrong Time starts off with a bang, with Jen a spectator as she watches her son murder a man. But after she goes to sleep she wakes up in the past, and continues further and further back in history until she solves the mystery of the murder. I was hooked […]
Queen B’s Decree: I enjoyed Kamila Knows Best so I quickly snapped up Jana Goes Wild as soon as I saw it. I should have read the blurb better, because I soon learned it contains the dreaded “second chance” trope. Jana and Anil had a two week fling that ended badly five years ago, but […]
