Not Another Heroine

Join Katie and Jordan, two friends who discovered similar reading habits and needed more time to talk books out of the office. They break down the best and worst fictional heroines and regularly struggle with pronouncing character names. Each book gets a few episodes, so spoilers beware!

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/05/15

This week Katie does her... best... to describe the plot of Allison Saft's new book, A Fragile Enchantment (spoiler, she does an awful job). That being said, try this as an audiobook while doing a minimum of three other tasks, or just skip it all together...https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/127305900Some much better options include:Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Limhttps://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/42815556An Offer from a Gentleman by Julia

Jordan's pick this week features warring shapeshifter kingdoms, and we bet you can guess what at least one of them shapeshifts into...

Pick of the Week: A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/05/01

Everthing is weirdly hostile and scary in Katie's pick this week, A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid. But reader beware, this book tastes best when enjoyed in the October/November time frame (if you want the full, spooky experinece.)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75302266-a-study-in-drowningAnd if you're looking for something similar:Ninth House by Leigh Bardugohttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43263680-ninth-houseDivine Rivals byRebecca Rosshttps://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/60784546House

2024/04/24

Interview with a what now? In Jordan's pick of the week, we're taking it back to the late 2000s, when Twilight was in theater, True Blood had everyone in a chokehold (maybe literally?), and vampires were the name of the game with Everymore by Lynn Viehl.https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/1264696Looking for something similar?

Pick of the Week: Uprooted by Naomi Novik

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/04/17

This week, we get a full, 10 minute review of one of Katie's all time favorite books... but told with approximately .3 brain cells (or as Katie puts it, an old school computer not connected to the internet, i.e. calculator and minesweeper are about all that works.) - Uprooted by Naomi Novik, a 2015 Goodreads Choice Award nominee!https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/22544764If you've already read Uprooted, or are looking for something sorta similar:The Familiar by Leigh

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/04/15

We found this book to be somewhere in between 'stay up late' and 'meandering' but it is way better than the cover would lead you to believe. We recommend this as a bit of palate cleanser or a book to carry you through a reading lull. If you're interested in other stories set in this same world, check out Carissa Broadbent's "Crowns of Nyaxia" novella "Six Scorched

Pick of the Week: Marry My Husband

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/04/10

Murder? Revenge? TIME TRAVEL? Jordan finishes an entire kdrama, and that should tell you exactly how good Marry My Husband is (and it's available on Amazon Prime!) Imagine: Girl gets cancer. Husband is unsupportive. All is going wrong in the world. Comes home to find husband and best friend cheating. Is murdered. Comes back 10 years earlier for the chance to have it all go differently. Ooh, sign me up.https://www.amazon.com/Marry-My-Husband-Season-1/dp/B0CPYQKXW5If you want something similar, Jordan

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/04/03

This week, Katie rage quit a book... with 100 thousand reviews. And no, it's not Fourth WIng. We get three courses of beef (not the edible kind) with King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett St. Clair, an unintentional second DNF in a row for our VERY upset friend.https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/56651967If you too have been personally victimized by Regina George- I mean this book, try:Slaying the Vampire Conquerer by Carissa Broadbenthttps://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/123368729Bride by Ali

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/04/01

We wanted to like this book, the sample hooked us and the heroine seemed unique...until she wasn't. Freya's overwhelming lack of critical thinking combined with her obsession for an underwhelming himbo makes this book nothing more than trash fanfic of The Northman.https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/165940202

Pick of the Week: Curses by Lish McBride

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/03/27

This week features the most awkward intro we've ever recorded (sorry in advance), and Jordan's frustration with Curses by Lish McBridge. Well written, interesting secondary characters, all wrapped up in a reverse Beauty in the Beast retelling: what's not to love? Well, for Jordan, a plot mechanism that lets the love interest see the heroine with the cursed lifted for a few hours (Gasp! She's actually beautiful? Now I can for sure love her!)https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/43207851If you're

Pick of the Week: A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/03/20

In this week's pick, Katie talks about... a temple for jewish horses? (Try Chincoteague pony... horribly misprounced). If that sounds not really like a book you'd read, well Katie didn't either - this week's pick is a DNF, unfortunately, for A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft.https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/48909025If you're looking for something with similar vibes that Katie did enjoy, try:The Scorpio Races by Maggie

63. The Glory

Readers, don't wait to watch this show. 'The Glory' (on Netflix) is a 16 episode k-drama featuring one of the most ruthless, intelligent heroines we've ever encountered.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqVVrTvrI8U
