You’ve done some really diverse reading as always. Out of them I think The Name of the Star appeals the most.

I really enjoyed THE NAME OF THE STAR, as well. It was very spooky! I’ve also read the Jim Butcher books (before I started blogging) and they’re pretty good.

I do wonder about the McLean books, since I read 11 but not 9 and 10. And she had charm

I really want to read A Moveable Feast, and think that I am going to make it a priority in the new year. There is something about the classics that is calling to me right now, and I really want to indulge in a few. These were great mini-reviews. I enjoyed them!

I have Storm Front here — have I read it? No. I really should take your lead and write up some mini reviews.

I really enjoyed The Name of the Star, though I didn’t know much of what it was about before I started it other than Jack the Ripper (so I found one of the twists rather disappointing, to be honest). But I loved how unremorsefully Southern Rory was (with her love of gravy and fried things)- not something I usually see since Southern tends to be somewhat stigmatized (or shorthand for bitchy pageant-queen).

Plus, I loved her art-history assignment where they were seeking out the best butts in the National Gallery and she preferred reclining butts and he liked ‘action’ butts. Such a great passage!

The title Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord made me snort with laughter! It’s not really my sort of book, but props for hilarity like that

Plenty of good choices here! I loved Name of the Star, reread Storm Front this year as part of the RIP challenge and intend to read more, and was very excited to see that the first book in Sarah Maclean’s next series is currently available on Netgalley!

You’ve been doing some good reading. I’ve heard so much about The Name of the Star and really want to read it.

I started The Name of the Star and was enjoying it, but it is one of the books that suffered because of my reading slump as of late… I am hoping to get back to it soon!
