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!

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

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/03/25

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: 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

Pick of the Week: Lady Avery and the False Butler by...

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/03/13

*DJ Khaled voice* ANOTHA ONE! And its a romantic version of... Mrs. Doubtfire? Nice try, Katie, but also weirdly, yes exactly. Sofi Laporte's Lady Avery and the False Bulter features a handsome rogue in hiding and a pissed off spinster who just wants to have some fun (and upon further thought, maybe not empty her own chamberpot).https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123238138-lady-avery-and-the-false-butler?from_choice=false&from_home_module=falseAnd if you're looking for something similar:Miss

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/03/06

Real book, or an incredibly intricate catfishing attempt on Jordan? Well, regardless, it seemed to have worked. Jordan's pick this week is Lady Ludmilla's Accidental Letter by Sofia Laporte, and showcases just about every romance trope she loves, an honestly impressive feat.https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/60391368And if you're looking for something similar:The Bridgertons Series by Julia Quinnhttps://www.goodreads.com/series/40393-bridgertonsLove in the Afternoon by Lisa

Pick of the Week: The Emperor's Edge Series by...

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/02/28

This week is a "continuation of the general behooving," otherwise known as "Katie went into some weird funk and ended up reading all seven books in this series and now wants you to read them all, too." The Emperor's Edge series by Lindsay Buroker may be a slow burn, but boy is it worth it!The Emperor's Edge Series by Lindsay Burokerhttps://www.goodreads.com/series/66385-the-emperor-s-edgeAnd remember, the first book is free on Amazon!https://a.co/d/9kQXfDa

2024/02/26

No, really.How do you put on a duvet cover?"Bride" was released earlier this month and Ali Hazelwood broke into paranormal romance with a 5-star, take the book to the bathroom, stay up all night, kind of read.

Pick of the Week: (Buddy Read!) The Emperor's Edge by...

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/02/21

Calling all buddies! Katie's pick this week is a buddy read of the self-published, The Emperor's Edge by Lindsay Buroker, an insanely slow burn (think a nineteen-hour simmer on low heat) featuring magic, monsters, and a handsome no-nonsense assassin. Come for the slightly incorrect recollection of the plot, and stay because the first book is free on Amazon!https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/10031259Amazon: https://a.co/d/9kQXfDaNeed similar works to convince you?

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/02/14

Paranormal tendencies? Sure. This week's pick is Now You See Her by Linda Howard, a (pretty!) spicy pick from Jordan featuring New York City, murder, and an artist with freakily accurate premonitions.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/420731.Now_You_See_HerIf you're looking for similar books, anything by these authors may scratch the itch:Ali Hazelwoodhttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show/21098177.Ali_HazelwoodSarah J.

Pick of the Week: What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/02/07

In this week's pick, Katie's unsure about almost everything... except her like of this book! What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez features fairly clean romance, intrigue, and a suave British noble turned gun-for-hire love interest (honestly just think The Mummy, and you're 90% of the way there).https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/65213381For same same but dif:Divine Rivals by Rebecca Rosshttps://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/60784546A River Enchanted by Rebecca

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/01/31

In this week's pick, we find out Jordan will inhale any retelling of The Six Swans fairy tale, including Elizabeth Lim's Six Crimson Cranes (except this one is made better by a magic-repellant bowl cursed to be worn as a hat.)https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/53457092If you're looking for similar titles:Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillierhttps://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/13928Thorn by Intisar Khananihttps://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/51265989Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/01/22

We're closing out Wild Magic and we couldn't help but stray into the same debate we got into last week. Also, what's up with this ending? Pacifist whales, dragon martyrs, and a kraken in a trench coat (at least according to Katie).https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13836.Wild_Magic
