Title: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon

Author: Kimberly Lemming 

Pages: 260

Published: 2021

Started: 2/18/24

Finished: 2/20/24

Summary: Cinnamon, a human, gets drunk one night NR saves Fallon, a demon dragon. She’s then forced to help him break his species curse. A lot of sexy times.

My thoughts: I loved it! It was fun and the dialogue was fresh. The sexy times were very steamy. And the romance was perfect combination of hot and sweet. Highly recommend.

Title: L.A Woman

Author: Eve Babitz

Pages: 160

Published: 1982

Started: 2/4/24

Finished: 2/8/24

 Summary: A fictional account of two women from different generations living in Los Angeles.

My thoughts: This was okay. Not Babitz’s best book. It was pretty much a fictional account of Eve’s actual life in L.A. The last third was a slog. It was a little disjointed at the end. Read her other book, ‘Tango Two-Step’ instead. She does a better job with nonfiction writing than fiction.

Title: World Within a Song

Author: Jeff Tweedy

Pages: 257

Published: 2023

Started: 1/28/24

Finished: 1/31/24

Summary: Jeff Tweedy of Wilco shares the songs that had the most impact on his life.

My thoughts: It was fine. Nothing special. The chapters were short which was good because he didn’t go on and on about a song. It didn’t move me. And it honestly didn’t make me want to listen to the songs he chose. 🤷🏻‍♀️
