September 19, 2021 by Matilda London

In response to a Book Riot and Out of the Box essay on documenting the personal experiences of the pandemic, this timeline will also be in correlation to the new Biden-Harris administration and the continued malfeasance and autocratic menace of the Trump-Republican fascists. Any and all essays on the subjects will be posted here as links. Timeline © 2021 Matilda London/Pamela Gay Mullins PayPal Me | Cash Me | Venmo

Book Review: Spindle Cove Series by Tessa Dare

July 4, 2021 by Matilda London

There is something so deliciously alluring and seductive about a writer that can narrate an intriguing plot with the right amount of snark and humor around such hot, passionate romance and sex scenes, including some of the most fascinating, witty characters, ever. Then again, I am attracted to any such intellect and find that kind of talent incredibly sexy, especially when that talent chooses to celebrate this genre. That this genre still has its detractors even now burns my bacon […]

Recalibrate – Chapter Ten – Dear Prudence

June 22, 2021 by Pamela Mullins

Chapter Nine – Dear Prudence The first time was the hardest. Waves of pain penetrated still through the many iterations; weeks, months, days—had it been a year already? Jay shuddered remembering each as if it were the first—all things cold and hard bared in an abrupt breach that she still had yet to elude. It manifested within her in the occasional nightmare where it percolated into something lacking and hostile—mundane really. Her creators and the set into which she was […]

Book Review: The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan

May 16, 2021 by Matilda London

Courtney Milan’s The Brothers Sinister Series nourished my spirit and fed my revolutionary & anarchist romantic energy so completely and utterly, I was left ruminating for weeks over each story and character and the historical significance of it all. I am still thinking of these characters. After the past four years (2016-2020), The Suffragette Scandal and The Brothers Sinister Series empowered and reinforced my inner queen. The stories reminded me of the best of me and all my courageous sisters […]

Book Review: Slightly Dangerous by Mary Balogh

May 9, 2021 by Matilda London

I did something I rarely do and read this series out of order. I read Slightly Married first. That book, and the series, are more subdued—stoic and British than what I anticipated, but…different. I looked up Balogh, and she’s Canadian-Welsh and a Boomer, which obviously contributes to the fascinating turns in character arcs. When I expected a left turn, Balogh turned right; when I figured the standard beauty and power, she threw out descriptions like ugly and hook nose and […]

Book Review: The Searcher by Tana French

April 18, 2021 by Matilda London

Claire Messud said something once that resonated with me and still does. “If you’re reading to find friends, you’re in deep trouble. We read to find life, in all its possibilities. The relevant question isn’t ‘Is this a potential friend for me?’ but ‘Is this character alive?’” This after the vitriol over her ‘unlikeable’ woman protagonist in The Woman Upstairs—another one of my favorite books. I’ve noticed through numerous reviews that some people read to find these surrogate friends and […]
