An Unconventional Courtship by Scotty Cade
Sep. 5th, 2020 02:27 pmGalileo's Dream by Kim Stanley Robinson
Galileo hops back and forth between his own time and the moons of Jupiter 1400 years later. Galileo is a dick (purposely so) and this is too boring to keep me going through his nonsense.
Winter Rose by Patricia McKillip
Dreamy story of sisters and the wood and wildness and the mystery of the fae man who moves in to the ruin next door and an old curse, and roses and wells and freighted domestic conversation. It's very good at what it's doing, but I am only ever lukewarm on these kinds of books, and in a week where my baby was reacting to having childcare other than from his parents for the first time in his nearly a year of life by refusing to eat . . . No. My tolerance for this sort of thing was not available.
An Unconventional Courtship by Scotty Cade
M/M of the billionaire boss/assistant variety. Terrible business/corporate world building, but I really abandoned it because it's that sort of romance that spends 95% of its pagespace with the two leads alone together and the other 5% with the two leads thinking of each other while they are very briefly apart. It's claustrophobic and honestly unhealthy. Give these dudes some friends!
