    Pick of the Week: Wicked Ugly Bad by Cassandra Gannon

    Once Upon a Time (the TV show) get a spicy, modern setting where all the traditional fairy tale characters are flipped on their heads. What makes a Good or Bad person? How do you get sent the to WUB Club? Is Cinderella really doing that with her mice? This is the first in a seven book series, but each can be read as a standalone (the characters are interconnected a la Bridgerton style). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/201821045-wicked-ugly-bad?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=RrPVWFhPmg&rank=1 Similar Books Throne in the Dark by A.K.

    Katie makes an attempt at extroversion during a Heated Rivalry event and runs a marathon instead of a turkey trot. The list of DNFs continues to grow and the reading slump persists.

    Pick of the Week: The Second Death of Locke by V.L. Bovalino

    A slow start (Katie had to persevere through the first 50 to 60 percent), but thorough world-building and a rewarding friends-to-lovers romance make this worth the effort. Not quite as emotionally immersive as others in the genre, but this does tend to lean more traditional fantasy. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/220137908-the-second-death-of-locke?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=Ap0AyVJDDV&rank=1 Similar Books The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/133286777-the-familiar?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=liEHuV2Lof&rank=1 One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58340706-one-dark-window?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=IZmg5nlTcO&rank=1 Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54513688-realm-breaker?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=mPD3Fcq83j&rank=1

    156. Traitor Son by Melissa Cave (Part 2) "Miche and Remin. I mean, you never know."

    Pick of the Week: This Monster of Mine by Shalini Abeysekara

    There was too much going on for any one aspect of this book to be particularly good. An interesting start with a novel setting led to shoved in tropes and a romance that felt flat and forced. This would've been better as a pure fantasy. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/219268963-this-monster-of-mine?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=eUgEEnIeQ8&rank=1 Similar Books One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58340706-one-dark-window?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=tcW2yC2HbZ&rank=1 The Songbird and The Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/210134467-the-songbird-the-heart-of-stone?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=Dfrbj2pdVF&rank=1 Poison Study by Marissa Snyder https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60510.Poison_Study?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=09kDm3n6pN&rank=1

    155. Traitor Son by Melissa Cave (Part 1) "Bob the Builder plays Age of Empires."

    It's not too often that a Pick of the Week turns into a Monday episode but given the similarities to Grace Draven and J.D. Evans, we should've known better. Traitor Son is a bit of a sleeper hit, equal parts intricate world-building and romance. The heroine is not your typical romantasy lead. She's a bit mousy, submissive, and sometimes innocent to an eyeroll level, but she undergoes massive character growth throughout the novel and you can see her potential in future books. We won't say too much about Remin, but if sheer brute strength is your thing you won't be disappointed, although we were both rooting for Miche the entire time. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/218333744-traitor-son?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=cYvC4cviR5&rank=1 Similar Books The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10429092-the-girl-of-fire-and-thorns?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=w6brDLeNax&rank=1 The Emperor's Edge by Lindsay Buroker https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10031259-the-emperor-s-edge?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=6mmf4MaaUj&rank=1 Reign and Ruin by J.D.

    Maybe a bit recycled on the plot but what isn't these days?

  8. Netflix's Bridgerton Season 4 "She's acting her t*** off."

    23 FEB

    Netflix's Bridgerton Season 4 "She's acting her t*** off."

    This iteration is more faithful to the book than past seasons, perhaps that's why we enjoyed it more? Or maybe it's the acting chops of Katie Leung (Araminta) and Yerin Ha (Sophie), who absolutely kill it in both of their roles. We do have some gripes with the show in general, namely the constant jumping around to different couples who already had a whole damn season for their story. Netflix also seems to miss the mark on the subtle romance of period dramas in favor of HBO-style sex scenes. https://www.netflix.com/title/80232398 Based on the novel "An Offer From A Gentleman" by Julia Quinn https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9408584-an-offer-from-a-gentleman?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=HM6dWVoWfn&rank=1
