Lola’s Ramblings: My Favorite Cozy Mysteries

Lola’s Ramblings is a feature on my blog Lola’s Reviews where I ramble on about a book related or a non-book related topic. These are discussion type of posts where I talk about a topic and readers can weigh in on the topic in the comments. Usually these posts are everything that doesn’t fall under any standard header, like tours, cover reveals, memes, challenges, recaps or reviews. Lola’s Ramblings posts are discussions of a certain topic and my point of view on them. The banner for this feature is designed by Michelle from Limabean Designs. Last year I started reading […]

Review: June by Audrey Carlan

June (Calendar Girl #6) by Audrey Carlan Rating: 3 stars Blurb: Politics, phallic statues, and pretty women. Literally everywhere you look, you see an old man and a gold-digging cling-on wrapped around their wrinkly arms. Luck had not gone my way when Warren Shipley, one of the nation’s wealthiest men hired me to play arm-candy in order to save face with the other one percenters he did business with. At least that’s what I thought when I arrived in Washington, DC, until I was met by old man Shipley’s debonair and insanely handsome son. Aaron Shipley was notably the youngest […]

Review: Cornered by JA Belfield

Cornered (Holloway Pack #5) by J.A. Belfield Rating: 4 stars Blurb: Daniel Larsen is playing a dangerous game, and he doesn’t even know it. A two-wheeled speedster. A little redhead in a bar. Evenings spent away from his pack. Innocent enough for most, but for Danny, the combination leads down a path of destruction and straight to a hell he doesn’t even see coming. Entangled in a nightmare that started with his own brother and the cat he brought into their home, Dan’s driving himself toward a solitary existence—except for the curvaceous Olivia Fanella. Seduced by his new companion, and […]

Sunday Post #182

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog. What happened this week? This was a good week, lots of work, but some fun things as well. We had a lot of warm weather this week, but it seems I’ve gotten a bit more used to it by now. This was a productive week and quite busy too. Two new sign-ups […]

Review: Vigilante Slimming Scanner by SJ Pajonas

Vigilante Slimming Scanner (Kami No Sekai #4) by SJ Pajonas Blurb: The grocery store registers have a mission to save Toro from his bad eating habits, and he’s determined to stay the course. Will they inspire him to change or will he convince them to give him a second chance? ~~~ Shhh… Listen To The Gods. The Japanese believe the gods live in all things. Trees, appliances, animals, buildings — they all have a spirit living within them. Maybe, if you listen carefully, you can hear them too. My Review: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review […]
