Ringing in the New Year

Festive in Death by J. D. Robb

by Leave a Comment

For a large chunk of 2019, I re-read J. D. Robb’s* entire In Death series. It’s a futuristic mystery series set about 40 years in the future. As of January 1, 2020, there are 49 novel length installments and several shorter novellas. Book 50 releases in February. This review features the cover art for book 39, Festive in Death, since it’s holiday themed. (Don’t worry – I’m not going to try and claim the entire series and hit my Cannonball on the very first day!) […]

Warren Zevon is not the appropriate soundtrack

The Silver Wolf by Alice Borchardt

by 1 Comment

Do you have one of those books that you can pick up, open it to any page, and start reading, knowing exactly what is going on? And you find this comforting, familiar, the book equivalent of an old friend. THE SILVER WOLF by Alice Borchardt is such a book for me. It’s one of those books that I have in hardback and on my Kindle so I can read it whenever. I originally picked it up at a local bookstore that doesn’t exist anymore. I was […]

You’ll never look at a library the same way

Stacked by Aviva Blakeman

by Leave a Comment

Note: I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. Not gonna lie, I was hesitant to read and review Stacked, because the author is a dear friend, but no need to worry! It was thoroughly enjoyable. A couple of things really stood out to me as I read this first installment of the Devil’s Bastards MC series: First, the author can impart a hell of lot of information about the protagonists during their meet cute. Both characters […]

Ghostwriter, the pattern is full

The Hookup (Moonlight & Motor Oil Series Book 1) by Kristen Ashley

by 5 Comments

Katie: Gentle Reader, for my fourth Cannonball (third as half of PattyKates), it is somehow fitting that our first review is a new release by none other than Kristen Ashley. It seems like an obvious choice in retrospect, but we were actually stumped about what it would be until we realized that she had recently released The Hookup, the start of her new Moonlight and Motor Oil series.   Summary: Eliza is a good girl and new to Matlock, Ky. As with many of KA’s […]

The things I do for my friends…

Darker by E. L. James

by 9 Comments

So, gentle reader, the target of my blinding rage this time is not Pattykins. I know. I’m surprised, too. Instead, it was caused by someone I used to think of as one of the best people I know. USED TO. It’s my fault, I suppose. I poked the bear by ranting about refusing to read Darker by E.L. James. It is the fifth installment in the Fifty Shades series, and the second time we’re hearing the story from Christian’s perspective. I know before reading the […]
