Review: A Bid to Rule by Novae Caelum

A Bid to Rule (The Stars and Green Magics #3) by Novae Caelum My Rating: 4 stars Genre: Science Fiction Age Category: Adult Blurb: While this book happens 23 years before the main events of this series, it contains characters, events, and context needed to fully enjoy the rest of the series. This is the preferred reading order, but it can also be read any time before, during, or right after books 1 and 2. THE RULER IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE RULER.

Deep Fried Death (Country Store Mystery #12) Maddie Day My Rating: 4 stars Genre: Cozy Mystery Age Category: Adult Type of romance: MF Blurb: The latest installment in Maddie Day’s deliciously popular Country Store cozy mysteries is sure to appeal to fans of Jenn McKinlay, Ellery Adams, Leslies Meier, and Joanne Fluke.

Lola’s Ramblings: Top 10 Books with Neurodivergent Main Characters

Lola’s Ramblings: Top 10 Books with Neurodivergent Main Characters

For today’s top ten list post we could pick our own topic, so I picked favorite books with neurodivergent main characters. I got diagnosed as autistic earlier this year, it has changed a lot in my life and one of the things I’ve done is trying to read more books with neurodivergent characters. I limited my picks to books that I read so far in 2023 (there’s one book I read in 2022) and fiction books only. I also selected only books where in the book itself it is made clear the main character is neurodivergent or the author has […]

Lola’s Ramblings: Top 8 Audiobooks of 2023

Today I wanted to share you my top 8 audiobooks of 2023. I limited my picks to audiobooks that I listened to this year as well as one book per series as else there would be even more Lindsay Buroker books in there and they’re already dominating this list. In the first half of the year or so I didn’t listen to as many of them and then my listening picked up when I changed some things around to have more time for listening. So for this post I decided to pick my top 8 audiobooks from this year. I […]

Lola’s Ramblings: Top 15 Books of 2023

Lola’s Ramblings: Top 15 Books of 2023

Today I wanted to share you my top 10 or actually 15 reads of 2023 with you. I limited my picks to ebooks that I read so far in 2023 (publication dates vary), no re-reads and only fiction books. I also limited it to one book per series, else another 3 books for Novea Cealum would be on the list and more Laura Greenwood books as that series is awesome and I figured you would get the hint I like these series even with only one book on there. And even then I couldn’t limit it to 10, so it […]
