Queen B’s Decree: Well, I did it. I faced my lifelong “clowns creep me out” fear and read a book with clowns as the MMCs. I think I’m now only okay with paranormal circus clowns, not real life ones. Circus Creeps was a hoot. Dark and sexy, with just enough weird. The cliffhanger ending got […]

Queen B’s Decree: Love Requires Chocolate was a pretty low stakes read that made me wish I’d been able to attend a study abroad.

Queen B’s Decree: I’ll take ‘Emotional Childhood Trauma’ for 200, Alex. While I can commend Chelsea for going to therapy and actively working through her emotionally abusive childhood, she was still a tough character to like.
