I’m all in for a stem world. The academics and politics fascinate me. Ok, the misogyny and treatment of women also infuriates me. The world in Love, Theoretically, is connected to some of the author’s other books, which was only recognizable in a very brief mention near the end. Elsie loves her work and she […]

Emily Henry and Julia Whelan are an author/ narrator combination that I really enjoy. Happy Place gives us a long term couple where each loves the other, maybe more than themself. There is also the insecurity of not being enough for the other person. These feelings are based on both family and personal history. We […]

I still love the covers in this Dangerous Damsels series. There are connections between books in the series so I would read them in order. Plus you gain a much better understanding of pirates, and witches. I really appreciate the magic of strong women in a historical setting. The plots are rather ridiculous, but the […]
The Love Wager starts with a wedding. I didn’t realize it until much later in the book, but it’s the couple from the first book Mr. Wrong Number, Olivia and Colin. They are barely mentioned as this book is about Olivia’s brother Jack. I really enjoyed the humor in Mr. Wrong Number so I was […]

Everything at this point is a spoiler for earlier books in the Lady Sherlock series. I would read this series in order because the complexity of the characters and relationships which are just as important as the particular cases. In Miss Moriarty, I Presume?
