Spoiler Alert

Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane

August 28, 2026 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

I listened to this on audiobook more or less at random because it was available instantly from my library. I saw the movie when it was out in theaters and have not revisited it since. If you've seen the film, which is directed by Martin Scorsese and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, you know that it has a … [Read more]

August 28, 2026 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo: Sheep, I cannot believe that I missed this, I have recategorized Strangers: A Memoir as Versus This is one of those novels that's always been kicking around in my brain box, because of course it has been.

Revolutionary Girl Utena by Chiho Saito

August 28, 2026 by vega-table Leave a Comment

CBR18 Bingo - Justice: it's about a girl who fights for what she believes is just, instead of just being a normal girl who doesn't need to duel. Because it's not normal (or just) for middle school girls to duel for their life all the goddamn time. Revolutionary Girl Utena is one of my … [Read more]

CBR Bingo: Summer, because this book is all about the summer Dill came There was a time when I read this book pretty consistently, in bits and pieces or all at once (hi, my name is Mythili and I am a compulsive re-reader).

In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

August 28, 2026 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo: steal, bc although this book has actually been given to me (aka it's been borrowed to me, if that makes sense) it has been something like ~2 years of borrowing and returning and borrowing again and again so for all intents and purposes Britt has not had access to this book in … [Read more]
