[Book Review] Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match By Sally Thorne & Bones Coffee Red Velvet Cake
What if Frankenstein was a romance novel? Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match is a Frankenstein-retelling with the romance of Bridgerton and the eccentric excess of the Addams Family... and it's just as amazing as it sounds.

Freebie Friday: Science Fiction & Fantasy Historical Romance
Happy Freebie Friday! After reading Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match (an amazing Frankenstein-retelling reimagined as a historical romance) I found myself in the mood for more historical romances with a twist. This week's Freebie Friday is all about Science Fiction & Fantasy historical romances - think steampunk or magic in a regency era setting. Happy Reading!

[Book Review] The Girl WIth The Windup Heart By Kady Cross & Philz Coffee Ether
Spoiler alert: there is no girl with a windup heart in The Girl With The Windup Heart - in fact, the word windup doesn't appear anywhere in the entire book. Still loved the book though, it's very much like The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, characters with extraordinary abilities in a steampunk Victorian setting, but with more couples and romantic couple-ly plotlines.

[Book Review] Circus Games By Lilliana Rose & JumpinGoat Coffee Roasters Wine Infused Chocolate Coffee
Circus Games is the second book in the wild-west-meets-space-age Steampunk Mecha Mania series and takes place a week after the end of the first book, Circus Escape, with Nessie now running the mechanical machine fighting circus she was so obsessed with in the precious story. This also puts her in close quarters with Joy, the mecha operator she had become so smitten with. The problem is Nessie has no experience and no idea how to handle the Mecha Mania business – she has no idea how to handle a potential relationship with Joy right now either.

[Book Review] The Three Sisters (The Krampus Chronicles #1) By Sonia Halbach & San Marco Coffee Sugar Plum Berry
The Three Sisters is a wonderfully whimsical and wholly imaginative Christmas tale that starts with the real-life controversy over the authorship of ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas (Clement Clarke Moore versus Henry Livingston) and then spirals into a Christmas Eve adventure that leads the grandchildren of the two authors in question on a not-so-merry, and sometimes scary, chase.
