It’s the first Wednesday of the month again, time for a post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recently I was a co-host on an IWSG day. Like all co-hosts, I visited a certain number of websites and commented on their posts. And I encountered some difficulties. Not with the posts’ content, per se, and not with my comments (that issue has been resolved by Google), but

| A Pride and Prejudice, Matthews's style, this book was short and quiet. The original was much deeper, but this novel was nice as well, even if not so profound. Although the beginning was dull, I persevered (as I usually enjoy this author's writing) a ...more | |

2.5 stars I never thought I would rate any of Rainbow Rowell's book so low, but here we are. I adored several of her earlier books, but this one didn't work for me. My problem with this novel is the timeline. Or rather timelines, plural. There is a lit ...more |

Review posted in 2024 It was hard for me to write a review for this book. It was too close, too intimate. I read the book in 2015 and posted my review on my personal website, but not here. Not until now. It is time, I guess. The protagonist of this nov ...more |

2.5 stars The trend that started in the previous book - Seeing Red in Gretna Green - continues here. The series is definitely heading towards the darker, bloodier territory, which is an unwelcome contrast from the light and bubbly vibe of the earlier ...more |

| Compared to the prior books in this series, the mood is darker in this novel, and the plot more convoluted. No fluff at all. Instead of a lighthearted adventure, which was a stamp of these tales until now, the gloomy, toxic motifs are emerging. I'm n ...more | |

| This one is a novella, short, charming, and absurd. A birthday party for a magical house that is turning 1400 on Sunday. Need I say more? | |

| This charming story continues. Contrary to my expectations, this series is one long story. You have to read the books in order, starting from #1, to understand what is really going on. No stand-alone novels here. It is not my favorite type of story, ...more | |

Thank you, Carol. I didn't see it before.

Yeah, critique is always more fun to read than praise, although I must admit I rarely write reviews for books I dislike. I tend not to finish them.
Hello Olga, thank you for the compliment on my reviews. I hope you enjoy them, even when they are scathing (perhaps even especially when they are scathing).
Thanks for the friend request, Olga! I look forward to discussing books with you.
Thank you for the friend request I look forward to talking about books!
Thanks for the request, and it's nice to meet a fellow daydreamer :) I'll be checking out your reviews too.
Hi Olga. I have been comparing our libraries, and wow, we share many favorites. I have been reading your comments, and I agree that reviews are subjective. I am very passionate over my favorites, such as Wicked the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.
Hi, Kyra.
