The point of these quick takes post to catch up on my "To Write About" stackâemphasizing pithiness, not thoroughness. This is a little longer than most of these that I do, I just wanted to get caught up on my Library Book Audiobooks (I'm so thankful that I can get audio downloads from my library rig...
#4 in the Parasol Protectorate series, I think this one is my favourite so far. So much upheaval! I have fallen quite hard for a couple of secondary characters, to be honest. Professor Lyall is one - and we find out big chunk of his backstory, which I was so very pleased about. And Biffy - oh, ...
I have to say, this is probably my least favorite cover of all the books, but it is so nice to FINALLY see a series which does not change cover art halfway through. THANK YOU!! Love, love, love this series, and I am so very glad that the baby plot did not totally derail every other aspect of the plo...
In Heartless, the fourth entry of The Parasol Protectorate series, Alexia (Tarabotti) Maccon is once again busy getting herself into a pickle while solving some issue that may or may not threaten the British nation. Typical Alexia, however, this time she is waddling and capsizing her way around Lon...
There are so many secrets in this installation. It seems like everyone is hiding something, and Alexia needs to figure out what it is. She finds out things about her father, and those close to her. And I absolutely love Ivy in this book. She is always a source of quick laughs, and not as dull minded...
tl;dr this book was ok, revolving around Alexia's last month of pregnancy. There were some funny moments due to her overlarge state, but otherwise it was only ok. Not one of my favorites in the series, but still quite entertaining and enjoyable!Description: Alexia is 8 months pregnant, and quite con...
When the one and only thing I can say I disliked in this book was Alexia's attitude about the suffragettes (I would have loved to see her supporting them instead), I suppose Heartless deserves its 5 stars. It's not a book everyone would love; yet, for those who get it, it's truly amazing. Others mig...
One thing I saw while I was reading this, is that the manga adapatation stops with the third book. It does have some sort of conclusion, but it does not use anything from the last two books in the series. There are a lot of scenes in this book I would have loved to see drawn out so I am sorry on tha...
What happened? I'm sure it's the same author as the previous books for I still tremendously enjoyed Carriger's writing style and witty banter. She can turn daily life exchanges between individuals into something funny and clever. But what happened with Alexia and the ending which felt predictable an...
9/10Gail Carriger did it again! And I think it is safe to say that the Parasol Protectorate is one of my favorite series ever. Every time I read one of these books I get a strange craving for tea and my inner thoughts have a slight British tinge to it. I also get this goofy grin on my face when a fa...
