I haveI absolutely loved absolutely everything about this book!! It’s an absolutely charming story and very heartwarming and heartfelt and wonderful! I have so many favorite characters and I love the found family aspect and the romance between Viv and Tandri. When I try to describe this book to people and I mentioned that it is about a female orc and a female succubus and then I mentioned how warm and cozy it made me feel they found it weird but I think that if people read the book they will experience the same feeling too! I love how creative all the characters are and this is definitely a coffee shop that I want to hang out in! I love how artistic and creative Tandri was in designing their signs for the shop and the rich and descriptive language she used to describe the items on the menu and I really wanted to try all of Thimble's pastries! This book also almost brought tears to my eyes so definitely have a box of tissues nearby! I hope more people discover this amazing book!...more
**spoiler alert** I really loved everything about this book! I was very interested in finding out more about the Spanish American War and the history **spoiler alert** I really loved everything about this book! I was very interested in finding out more about the Spanish American War and the history of Cuba’s independence. I had no idea about the tragic history of the reconcentration camps and the infamous women’s prison from which Evangelina Cisneros escaped from and how she was compared in this book to Helen of Troy. I enjoyed reading about the war between Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst since I have a journalism minor and I have fond memories about learning about them in my journalism classes. This is the reason why I relate to Grace Harrington so much and like her I similarly had an article of mine rewritten until I didn’t recognize my writing in it. I love her relationship with Rafael! I also love the Perez family that Cleeton has created and I love finding out more about this fascinating family....more
I really enjoyed becoming aware of this fascinating African American woman who was the personal librarian for J. P. Morgan who had a career that most I really enjoyed becoming aware of this fascinating African American woman who was the personal librarian for J. P. Morgan who had a career that most people who have the same background as she does still to this very day do not have. This book discusses how hard it was for Belle to pass as a white person and although I had read the book Passing by Nella Larson in a Critical Writing class in college, reading about Belle during this moment in time brought it to life. I very much enjoyed reading this book because I was in a library media specialist program at the same school where I had my Critical Writing class until my program didn’t allow me to minor in it because I am disabled and so ended my career as a librarian. However, this book brought fond memories of the library program back to me. I love the fact that these two authors wrote this book together and became as close as sisters. I hope more people read this book and discover this fascinating woman....more
