Merissa (13575 KP) rated The Forecast Looks Like Reindeer (Part of: Double-Booked for the Holidays) in Books
Nov 22, 2025
In this story, Dale and Aspen are both going to the Winter Wonderland resort - Dale to the human side, even though he's an alpha - and Aspen to the shifter lodge. He's hoping his omega heat doesn't spoil his Christmas. Both of them are looking forward to some peace and quiet, with plenty of R'n'R included. Unfortunately for everyone, something has gone wrong with the booking system, and everyone is double-booked. Dale and Aspen are the first to agree to share a cabin.
This is a very low-angst story that shows the connection forming between our two MCs. The descriptions of the places, the food, and the cabin are simply wonderful. And the steamy scenes certainly warmed things up! These two are compatible in simply every way, and it shows with every interaction.
And the story doesn't just end with Christmas. You get to see them the whole year (and more) afterwards. Yes, it's at breakneck speed, but you still see them!
A supersweet story that begins and ends at Christmas. A great read and definitely recommended by me.

Kyera (8 KP) rated Batgirl, Volume 2: Son of Penguin in Books
Feb 1, 2018
The story arc contained in Volume 2: Son of Penguin felt more like the New 52 Batgirl I fell in love with, again. Although the plot was predictable at times, it will still enjoyable. Both Hope Larson's writing and the talents of the artists gave me hope that Batgirl's run will continue to improve. As she is my favourite female superhero (other than Wonder Woman, I truly couldn't choose) I cannot wait to see where this team takes her story.
I would definitely recommend her Batgirl of Burnside arc from the New 52 and her new story in Rebirth to fans of comics and interesting female characters. I may also be biased because in this iteration she is a grad school student who is currently studying to become a librarian, which is exactly what I am doing - so I feel like we are kindred spirits, or twins. Whatever.

I love reading short story collections, it’s a great way to find new YA authors and sample their writing.
‘I’ll be home for Christmas’ is a collaboration of UKYA authors and their stories of young adults and what ‘HOME’ means to them. I loved that this book has several genres including science fiction, Horror and Contemporary with such diverse characters. We have refugees, race and sexuality being explored and there was something for everyone to enjoy. I obviously had my favourites in this book and it was surprising that it was the horror, it was so intense and atmospheric and definitely got my pulse racing and that was Claws by Thomas Becker. There was not one story that I disliked in this book and after each story was finished I was left wanting more. I will definitely be purchasing my own copy of this book. There are 15 short stories/poems in this book including a competition winner.
This book is heartwarming and heart wrenching at the same time and definitely recommend reading.
Stripes teamed up with the charity Crises for this book to raise awareness of the hardships young people are facing today. This book is definitely impactful and made me think of the people who are less fortunate and homeless, £1 from every sale is donated to the charity.
*I received a E-copy of this book from Netgalley and Stripes in exchange for an honest opinion.*
