Beard in Mind by Penny Reid

Beard in Mind by Penny Reid

4.5 stars — Beau was the absolute highlight of this story for me…  Now don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed Shelly as well, but Beau surprised the heck out of me, he was nothing like what I was expecting.  And I totally fell in love with him, he stole my heart, and I ache […]

Beard Science by Penny Reid

Beard Science by Penny Reid

5 stars — Well would you look at that!!  I LOVED this one!!  Which surprised the heck out of me, b/c I was uncertain about Cletus in the previous books…he seemed…sociopathic in some ways.  Just too smart for his own good, and I was wondering how I was going to fall in love with him, […]

Beauty and the Mustache by Penny Reid

Beauty and the Mustache by Penny Reid

4 stars — Another thoroughly enjoyable read by Ms. Reid (and yes, I did that on purpose).  I was so relieved because I’d become cautious about the Knitting in the City books since I was on the fence with Neanderthal.  I think part of my problem with NSH was that Janie is a bit of […]

Shroud of Lies (Brewer Brothers #3) by Nancy Straight

Shroud of Lies (Brewer Brothers #3) by Nancy Straight

Okay, the last half of the book really picked up for me.  It was slow going there for a minute in the first half of the book. It almost seems like the author switched up the whole story half way through.  The difference in the writing is very noticeable. I remember really liking the first […]

5 stars — You know when you eat an amazing meal of your favourite foods, and when you’re finished you slump back in your chair with a smile of pure giddiness and satisfaction on your face?  Yeah, that’s what I looked like when I finished this book.  I’m not sure I’ll even be able to […]

Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1) by Leigh Bardugo

Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1) by Leigh Bardugo

Favorite Quotes: What could be better than revenge? “There’s nothing else I want.” “I can make you a drüskelle again.”    “Are you a magician, then? A wej sprite who grants wishes? I’m superstitious, not stupid.” “You can be both, you know, but that’s hardly the point.” He wasn’t much younger than Kaz, but somehow […]

Truth or Beard by Penny Reid

Truth or Beard by Penny Reid

4.5 stars — Yay!!!  Looks like this series might be a hit for me!!  I can’t tell you how excited that makes me, b/c so many of my friends LOVE Ms. Reid, and I’ve enjoyed her books, but with fairly strong caveats.  So it’s really relieving to be able to say that Grin & Beard […]
