If you are having a hard time figuring out categories, let me know in the comments. Jomidi has come through with three Comment Diversions for Bingo categories: “One“, “Craft“, and “Wheels.”
Just for fun:
I’ve decided to share some of my favorite review titles this month:
Beereadsbooks: World of the White Rat: A Kingfisher-palooza or An Embarrassment of Paladins (Paladin’s Hope, Paladin’s Faith, Clockwork Boys, and Wonder Engine by T. Kingfisher).
Carmelpie: Come on, what’s a farewell threesome between friends? (One More Gift: A spicy snowed-in novella by Holly June Smith. Appropriately, this book fits the “And” category.).
CoffeeShopReader: Sweet tamales! (Comida Casera by Dora Ramirez).
Esmemoria: It Serves Me Right (The Butcher by Jennifer Hillier).
Faintingviolet: “You can be the most virtuous woman in the world and you’ll still carry the blame, not just for your desire but for everyone’s desire.” (Dear Monica Lewinsky by Julia Langbein).
G.D. Giant: The Grass Was Hysterical with Dew (Entitlement by Rumaan Alam).
ElCicco: Is it a “hilarious satire” OR is it a middling white guy’s rant against contemporary social norms (My Inner Child Wants to Kill: A Mindful Murder Novel by Karsten Dusse).
KimMiE”: Goddamn magicians and cats! (Cat photos included) (Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett).
Lafocareta: TL;DR: Everybody Needs Therapy (The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins).
LittlePlat: Let’s Meet the Meat Industry (A Trade in Blood by Robert Jackson Bennett).
Malin: Are all fictional detectives neurodivergent? (The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett).
Narfna: CBR BINGO: You—”‘Mm. Two lovers, from two feuding gentryclans, meeting secretly under false names for their tryst!’ She scoffed. ‘How puerile. How derivative. I pray it is more deviant than it appears!’” (A Trade of Blood (Shadow of the Leviathan, #3) by Robert Jackson Bennett).
Pooja: The Logical Conclusion to Gingers Lacking Souls (Promise Me the Dawn by Jill Gregory).
Tracy: A Weird Book and Murakami. So, Two Weird Books, I Guess (The Employees by Olga Ravn and The City and Its Uncertain Walls by Haruki Murakami).
Vega-table: Russians created Pushkin, Rachmaninoff, and Petrushka the homicidal puppet. What could Sesame Street teach them? (Muppets in Moscow: The Unexpected Crazy True Story of Making Sesame Street in Russia by Natasha Lance Rogoff).
Wicherwill: lucked into the zeitgeist without realizing it, does that make me extra cool? (Fruit Fly by Josh Silver).
As always, y’all write such amazing reviews that I wish I could feature all of them every week.
