Book lovers book review5/31/2023 ![]() It is later revealed that Nora was wrong in her assumptions about Libby. For example, the reason Libby wanted to visit Sunshine Falls is misunderstood by Nora because of her mother-like nature. The novel shows this tension of wanting to be a fun older sister but having the opinions of someone who had to be a parental figure. Their mother died, and Nora stepped up to be a mother figure to Libby at a young age. ![]() ![]() These two sisters, as they go off to Sunshine Falls, have a great girls’ trip, but also unpack a lot of trauma from when they were growing up. One of the most powerful elements of Book Lovers is the relationship between Nora and Libby. What I liked most about this novel was how it balanced familial struggles and humour. However, this novel is more than just a romance it’s about sisterhood and making your dreams come true. Both work in the publishing industry and seem to bump into each other in the most unexpected ways, which eventually blooms into a full-on romance. I think the best way to describe the inception of their relationship is as being more competitive and rivalrous. But enemies may be too harsh of a word to describe Nora and her love interest, Charlie. Book Lovers by Emily Henry is a heartwarming enemies-to-lovers romance centering around Nora Stephens, a literary agent, who goes to Sunshine Falls for a month-long trip with her sister Libby. ![]()

The desert spear series5/31/2023 ![]() That had a profound influence on his writing the Painted Man is perfectly written with tight, punchy and yet highly descriptive English. Brett also wrote the Painted Man on his HP iPaq while commuting to and fro work. The Desert Spear, however, is known safely as The Desert Spear in the UK and the US. I imagine some “clever” marketing market research thought The Painted Man was a bit too close to painted lady and so the book was subject to a rebranding. It’s also worth noting that the book was initially published in America as the Warded Man. A deal that involves Jermey Bolt, the UK based producer of the Resident Evil franchise. ![]() I first became aware of The Painted Man because of it’s possible $100 million film deal. The first in the series is The Painted Man which simply took my breath away. I think they’re already calling it the Demon trilogy but let’s not count our chickens until they’ve hatched like demonic drones from the core of the earth. The Desert Spear is the second book in the Demon series. ![]() Sleigh Ride by Heidi Cullinan5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Even when Gabriel was freaking out about what he'd done with Arthur, I still got the feeling that he couldn't help but like him. They are such opposites and well, opposites do attract, don't they? Each has a need that the other fulfills, but above and beyond that, they LIKE each other. so very much inside his head as many smart folk are. This is the story of Arthur, the ginger bear who is so rough and ready and amazingly marshmallowy and Gabriel, one of the most endearing characters that I think Heidi has ever written.Īrthur is so straighforward, it seems, and Gabriel is so tightly wound, so. When I began to read it, it didn't take long before I felt as if I had just curled up in front of a blazing fireplace with a blankie and a good cup of coffee, reading by the light of the Christmas tree. Sleigh Ride is the second installment in the Minnesota Christmas series - the first one came out last Christmas season. I finished this book a half an hour ago and I'm still smiling. ![]() |
