Mestiza Blood is a collection of short stories centered on horror and erotica, with a dash of sci-fi. Given the theme, I was really looking forward to reading it.

#Book Review #ARC – How to Live Icelandic; N. B. Jónsdóttir, E. Magnus
Did you know Iceland is in my top Countries I’d Like To Move To As Soon As I Get The Chance list? Thing is, I’ve been dreaming of leaving my homeland since I was a little girl, and maybe, just maybe, the time has come now.
#Book Review – Falling for the Competition; J. Smith
Lights and shadows for Falling for the Competition, a cute YA romance with Quinn, a history buff, as the main character.
#Book Review – London’s Great Railway Stations; O. Green
This is going to be a mini-review rather than a regular one. Why? Because I caught the plague of the millennium right after shelving London’s Great Railway Stations, the protected copy expired while I dealt with it, and that means I have to rely on memory now.
#Book Tour #Book Review – The Replacement Wife; D. Kane
Kane crafted an interesting story here, full of twists and turns. We know from the start who’s the killer, and we can figure out the hows and the whys in a little while, but at the same time, we have to deal with an unreliable narrator.
#Book Tour #Book Review – No Ex Before Marriage; P. MacIntosh
No Ex Before Marriage is a cute, heart-warming story. Just what I needed as I recover (not yet there, but almost).
#Book Tour #Book Review – Tow Away Zone; C. Towndrow
First of all, Towndrow has an amazing grasp of his prose. It’s funny, it’s witty, it’s hilarious in places and it’s also quite serious if need be. I have to say I’m blown away by it.
#Book Tour #Book Review – Hotel Portofino; J.P. O’Connell
J.P. O’Connell does a pleasant job in that department. The descriptions and the mannerisms are accurate and historically on-point. There isn’t even any mistake in the sentences spoken in Italian, which is worthy of a full star in itself
#Book Tour #Book Review – That Certain Spark; I. Hart
That Certain Spark is a delight. It’s also my first five stars of the year because it’s that good. I mean, I’m sorry I read it during trying times, as I’m sure I would have enjoyed it even more if I was 100% functional.
#Book Tour #Book Review – Finding Edith Pinsent; H. Ward
Once again, I jumped headfirst into a series, uncaring of the previous installments. To be fair, I always had such an inclination, but I thought I could control myself better in my old age, right? Right. Anyway!
